Pinky Promise [Childhood Friends]

The print edition was released on 2025.12.27. Preorders wanted for: fake-sibling romance, historical romance about rekindled love, and a childhood-sweetheart story set in the 1980s. [Sharp-tongued but honest in his actions, a protective, mature-minded boy × straightforward sweet girl | top student and workaholic × laid-back girl: the boyhood friend who carries her through adolescence] [Bickering couple, staying-over trope | campus] [A distinguished graduate of the Gentleman’s Conduct Academy, childhood friend who spoils his wife like a daughter] Cheng Mai had a childhood friend who was a total jerk. When they were kids, they fought three hundred rounds a day over the remote control for the watermelon TV. Later, when she started getting ideas about a senior student, he built a wall between them at the speed of China’s infrastructure boom, crushing any chance of his little childhood sweetheart being tempted away. His explanation was: “Now isn’t the time for you to date.” Only after she pestered him endlessly did he impatiently add, “Get your grades solidly into the top hundred first.” But to her surprise, every time she secured a place in the top hundred, the top candidate to inherit the title of her future boyfriend changed too. It was someone she never would have guessed, even in her wildest dreams. Only then did Cheng Mai realize what he really meant. She wasn’t allowed to date early, not unless it was with him. That jerk was waving the flag of justice while stealing the prize for himself! * Chi Yan realized he seemed to have a condition. Its scientific name was: being unable to say no to Cheng Mai. So when she sat on his lap and wanted to kiss him, he could only sit there stiffly and watch her do whatever she pleased. He raised his hands to push her away several times, but they fell back helplessly. In the end, he simply closed his eyes and let her do whatever she wanted. Well, it’s not like he was looking forward to it. He was just her older brother, after all. “I have to let my little sister have her way.” Hadn’t he been told that his whole life? Isn’t that what childhood sweethearts are supposed to do? Shouldn’t they explore all their firsts together? End of story Please add my next story to your favorites~ If the Rain Comes Down [Flirtatious, haughty rich boy × possessive, sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside younger sister] [Straightforward, stubborn older brother vs. younger sister with a head full of schemes] At first, Meng Yun was intensely hostile toward Meng Xing. She had taken the identity of his dead twin sister. An outsider who had invaded his family. On the day she moved in, two places in the house became off-limits to “Meng Xing”: his room, and his biological sister’s room. But later, Meng Xing not only opened his bedroom door. She also pried open his stubborn, resisting heart. - When they were little, Meng Yun refused to answer when she called him “big brother.” After they got together, he tried every possible way to make her call him that countless times. Meng Xing held grudges and never gave in easily. Except in one particular situation “They’re real siblings, no wonder they’re so close.” Every girl who tried to get close to Meng Yun was immediately on guard when she first saw Meng Xing. But the moment she heard what Meng Xing called him, and noticed how similar their names were, she would relax. At times like those, Meng Xing, who had scored full marks on the math section of the college entrance exam, would obediently lean against his shoulder and watch with a sweet smile, never rushing to correct them. After all, if you round it up, siblings who’ve kissed are practically the real thing, right? Message: Study hard and keep improving every day.
