Female star x wild puppy | Just having fun vs. lovesick to the point of madness | Pseudo-incest
The year Xiang Yuzhou turned eighteen, two strangers arrived at his home.
One was his stepmother, and the other was a celebrity five years older than him. Oh, and the kind who was so obscure she was barely a blip on the radar.
The obscure actress arrived early the next morning, dragging her suitcase noisily down the hall before sauntering into his mother's room.
In return, Xiang Yuzhou wickedly sent his pet snake in after her.
The expected scream never came.
The woman leaned against the doorframe, a little black snake coiled around her slender, fair fingers. She had changed into a strapless camisole and an A-line skirt, with red hair, red lips, and eye-catching statement earrings.
On her first meeting with her new little brother, she pinched his flushed earlobe and whistled cheerfully. "What a cute snake. Let me borrow it for a couple of days."
Young Master Xiang lost his first battle and his snake, too.
With red ears, he slammed the door so hard it shook the house.
-
Xiang Yuzhou hated this unrelated older sister of his.
On the night of his nineteenth birthday, Xiang Yuzhou woke with a start. As he recalled his dream, he realized there was a very serious problem.
He seemed to have fallen for Jiang Wanci.
But Jiang Wanci had a boyfriend.
On the day Jiang Wanci broke up with him, Xiang Yuzhou drove his brand-new Cullinan to pick her up. Before leaving, he thanked her ex-boyfriend and punched him.
A heavy snowfall blocked the roads, forcing the two of them to spend the night at a shabby little hotel. The wooden bed creaked every time it moved.
The night swayed around them, and the room was unbearably cold.
Xiang Yuzhou pinned her against the headboard, his dark eyes burning with a fire that would never die, sparks glimmering within.
He heard his own hoarse voice say, "Jiang Wanci, give me a chance."
The creaking wooden bed mingled with the sound of falling snow all night long.
When Jiang Wanci got out of bed, she held a cigarette between her lips, pulled out several hundred-yuan bills, and pressed them beside his ear. Smoke veiled her lovely face.
She picked up her high heels and shot him a sidelong glance as she left, teasing, "Your technique needs work."
Still bearing the bite marks she'd left on him the previous night, Xiang Yuzhou grabbed her slender wrist in exasperation. "Jiang Wanci, are you paying for sex with me?"
The year he turned twenty, Xiang Yuzhou slept with Jiang Wanci.
He thought they could finally start dating.
But Jiang Wanci said, "We were just having fun, Xiaozhou. Why take it seriously?"
It was the first time Xiang Yuzhou had loved someone so much. He loved how she said sweet things without meaning them, how she had more bad habits than he could count, how she always tucked her icy feet into his arms in winter, and how she was always so sweet and gentle when she coaxed him.
But Jiang Wanci was utterly heartless.
So Xiang Yuzhou spent years loving her, heartlessness and all.
