Proud, radiant, and forthright sweetheart x refined scoundrel, possessive older boy next door

-

Cen Yuxi had always had things go her way. Her biggest challenge came from Chen Jiyan, the boy next door, who was six years older than her.

When she was fifteen, Cen Yuxi went hiking with her friends and accidentally got lost.

At her most desperate moment, Chen Jiyan found her.

The tall, long-legged man appeared with the light behind him. No matter how dark the surroundings, nothing could hide his handsome face.

Warm and dependable, he became her salvation in that moment.

From then on, the young girl's heart stirred, and she threw herself headlong into the whirlpool named Chen Jiyan, unable to pull herself out.

One day, later on, she looked at the handsome man sleeping in exhaustion on the sofa and finally couldn't resist crossing the line. Trembling, she pressed a light kiss to the corner of his lips.

The next day, she received the news that Chen Jiyan was leaving the country. They parted, and years passed.

When Cen Yuxi met Chen Jiyan again, she was beating up the boyfriend who had cheated on her best friend, looking anything but graceful. He, by contrast, was impeccably dressed in a suit, reserved and refined, and possessed of an air of nobility.

Their eyes met. She froze for a second, then quickly composed herself and greeted him politely and distantly. "Brother Jiyan."

One lesson had been enough to stay with her for years. She wouldn't cross the line again.

After a performance, an admirer came backstage to bring her flowers. Watching the tall figure behind her out of the corner of her eye, Cen Yuxi deliberately smiled and accepted them.

But in the next instant, the man forcefully cornered her at the dressing-room table.

He took the flowers she'd just accepted without question and tossed them carelessly onto the table.

Chen Jiyan hooked one hand around her neck and pressed his forehead to hers.

His low, forceful voice made Cen Yuxi's heart tremble. "Why did you accept someone else's flowers?"

At the center of the dressing table behind her sat ninety-nine vivid red roses, fresh and glistening.

Just like Cen Yuxi's lips, which would soon be red as blood.

Cen Yuxi said she wanted Chen Jiyan to become her private treasure.

So later, Chen Jiyan gave her a passionate romance that belonged to her alone.

Both leads are each other's first love, very sweet, happy ending
