-

When Zhu Ran first met Sheng Huaiyu, she thought he was a hot-tempered rich young master.

She was mild by nature and instinctively disliked people like him.

Then one day, the rich young master got injured playing basketball and was surrounded by a crowd of heartbroken girls fussing over him.

Zhu Ran watched as someone else snatched away the bandage she had offered and carefully pressed it against his hand.

After a moment's hesitation, she decided to step back.

But to her surprise, he called her over.

"Zhu Ran." The young man drooped his brows and put on a pitiful expression, reaching out to her with his bleeding hand. "Could you put this on for me?"

He paused, then added, "It really hurts."

For a moment, everyone froze, Zhu Ran included.

Back then, everyone could see how Sheng Huaiyu felt about her, but Zhu Ran remained indifferent.

Later, their positions were reversed.

Sheng Huaiyu rose to power and became Zhu Ran's direct supervisor, holding all the cards.

Zhu Ran wanted to avoid him, but after an accident, she was forced to become involved with him again.

"Zhu Ran, it really hurts."

The same words softened her heart.

Their lives became entangled once more, and they ended up living under the same roof.

When Sheng Huaiyu held her tightly in his arms and kissed the air from her lungs, Zhu Ran felt dazed. She couldn't understand how things had come to this.

In her haze, she couldn't remember a thing. All she heard were those words, spoken beside her ear between hot, breathless gasps:

"I like you."

"I really like you."

Blurb:

Cen Yuxi and Chen Jiyan have known each other since childhood and grew up together.

At first, Cen Yuxi called Chen Jiyan "big brother."

She never expected that he would later become the seemingly impossible challenge she couldn't overcome.

When she was fifteen, Cen Yuxi planned a summer hike with her friends, but they accidentally got lost.

She sprained her ankle and sat beneath a big tree in the woods, trembling as she clutched a phone with only one bar of battery left. Overcome with fear, she thought her young life was going to end that night.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared from above.

Chen Jiyan arrived, drenched in sweat. His usual calm composure was gone, replaced by worry and anxiety.

He didn't scold her. He simply walked up to Cen Yuxi, crouched down, gently brushed her cheek, and smiled.

"You look like a little kitten. Don't be scared. Big Brother's here."

Cen Yuxi stared at Chen Jiyan for a few seconds, then threw her arms around him and burst into tears.

On the way down the mountain, she looked at the damp mark on Chen Jiyan's shoulder and said sheepishly, "Jiyan-ge, I got your clothes dirty."

Carrying her on his back, Chen Jiyan walked steadily. "It's fine, as long as you aren't dirty."

Cen Yuxi blushed and lowered her head into the crook of his neck, breathing in the faint minty scent on him. Her heart raced as if it might leap out of her chest.

A young girl's heart began to flutter, and from then on, she plunged headlong into the vortex called "Chen Jiyan," unable to pull herself free.

But later, she received news that Chen Jiyan was going abroad. Their hurried farewell turned into three years apart.

When they met again, Cen Yuxi was swinging her purse and beating up her best friend's cheating boyfriend without a shred of decorum.

They both froze.

Cen Yuxi reacted first. Blushing, she smoothed the wrinkled hem of her clothes, suddenly acting so coy it was almost unbelievable.

"Jiyan-ge, long time no see."

Chen Jiyan raised an eyebrow and teased her. "You were cooler just now."

Cen Yuxi: "..."

How embarrassing!

To restore her image, she started making frequent appearances wherever Chen Jiyan was, putting on the airs of a sweet, demure young lady.

But although Chen Jiyan was gentle, he was hopelessly dense when it came to romance.

Finally, one day, Cen Yuxi couldn't take it anymore. She drank to work up her courage, stormed into Chen Jiyan's office, and yanked his tie. "Chen Jiyan! Can't you tell I'm flirting with you? Why aren't you reacting at all?"

Chen Jiyan paused, then his affectionate eyes curved as he smiled like a devil. "Why don't you call me Big Brother anymore?"

Cen Yuxi was instantly captivated. She lowered her head and obediently called, "Big Brother."

Chen Jiyan hummed with a smile. "Good girl."

[She's the one doing the flirting, but in the end, isn't she the one who got caught?]
