Gradually Falling for You

My new novel, Old Wounds Are Hard to Heal, is updating now. Please add it to your favorites! Check the column for the synopsis! This novel: Complete Couple: [Fake-Socially-Anxious, Younger, Scheming Gong x A Charming, Carefree Shou Who's Very Protective of His Life] After being separated from his first love by death, Chen Lin leaves his past behind, changes his name to Chen Yuyang, and moves to an unfamiliar city, where he becomes a barista at a bookstore. His new life can be summed up in three words: poor, penniless, peaceful. The bookstore has simple workplace relationships. Here, all he has to do is interact with the coffee machine, which can't talk. Life could have been good, if only the bookstore owner didn't have a very talkative friend with questionable morals who kept flirting with him. What a pain. * Shen Hong is a playboy with money to burn, an expert in wining, dining, and having fun. He loves chasing after everything beautiful and believes in pure, unadulterated love, but somehow he's developed two bad habits instead. First, his bastard mentality: There's no girlfriend money can't win over. Second, his shameless bottom line: He absolutely never dates two people at once. He takes them one at a time. He's rich and handsome, and used to having people fawn over him. He never expected to take a special interest in a quiet, seemingly easy-to-bully barista with social anxiety. First he teases him with words, then he gets handsy. The day he realizes he's gay, he goes straight in and kisses him. Then, after kissing him, he asks, "Do you like me?" * Reader's Guide: 1. Both leads have had previous relationships!!! [Before they get together] 2. Once they're together, they're both completely faithful in body and heart!!! 3. The younger lead isn't all that much younger. 4. Supporting couple from No False Accusations. Some parts of the timeline overlap. 5. Updates every other day on and off. I will absolutely not abandon this story! Feel free to save it for later. Theme: The past can't be brought back, but the future is full of promise
