Education research x AI empowerment

Greedy, horny, warm-hearted cutie x rich, gorgeous, cold-faced flirt

1.

One day after graduation, the class group chat suddenly came alive.

Their classmates, now working, started sharing updates about their lives.

Yun Jin glanced at the chat while playing a game and casually typed, [Could someone just give me a house for no reason?]

The group immediately started teasing her.

Yun Jin smiled and replied, [I'm honestly a very easily satisfied girl. This 78 million is exactly enough to buy a villa in Beijing. I just want a villa in Beijing. What did I do wrong?]

After sending the message, she went back to playing her game in landscape mode.

When she finished and exited the game, she saw that only two messages had appeared in the chat all that time.

Meng Lilai: [You're not wrong.]

Meng Lilai: [Take me off your blacklist, and I'll send you money.]

Damn.

2.

Back in high school, when Yun Jin was young and foolish, she dated someone for a while.

He was ridiculously handsome, and they shared a lot of firsts.

Later, she found out he was a real young master, and it seemed he wanted to marry her.

Yun Jin couldn't face him, so she ran away.

The young master had spent a lot of money on her, but at least he got a lesson out of it.

How is that not a positive outcome?

3.

After they met again, the young master demanded that she make up for the emotional damage he'd suffered in the past.

Yun Jin thought that was only fair, but found it a little tricky.

After all, today he wanted her to kiss him with her tongue, and tomorrow he wanted them to hold hands in bed. What good girl could resist that kind of temptation?

Worse, just when Yun Jin was really getting into it, he'd say all kinds of mortifying things in a perfectly serious tone, wearing that cool, detached expression.

Yun Jin couldn't take it. Yun Jin ran away.

When he found her, the young master was dressed in a suit, his tall, straight figure outlined by a black trench coat, a chill clinging to him.

His face was as cold as ever. His black leather-gloved hand slid up her knee, but his words were the complete opposite: "Come on, tell your husband, who else can make you feel this good?"

#Wait, how did my first love turn into a cold-faced male siren five years after we broke up?

#Don't say things like that and test my paper-thin self-control!

#Someone should've told me how hard it is to break up with someone I'm physically attracted to!

#These cold-faced flirts are the best at that stuff.

"If my stubbornness and pride end up hurting you by accident."

--- "Courage"

Upcoming novel: "Love Delusion Syndrome"

Jing He x Tao Dai

Broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, V-line, elite bad boy x fair-skinned beauty, oblivious flirt, and silly little mouse (with a slightly broken brain)

1.

Tao Dai's university life was a mess. She'd taken a leave of absence and lived alone, keeping to herself.

The most pathetic she'd ever felt was when she tried to find out what cat food tasted like and her own cat beat her up.

Lying all alone on the floor, Tao Dai felt that life had lost all meaning.

She began thinking about leaving this world.

And planned to fix her landlord's water pipes before she went.

Then, on some hazy, ordinary day, the front door suddenly opened.

The person who came to fix the pipes was her high school crush.

She hadn't expected the dazzling star from her high school days to have fallen on such hard times, too. Tao Dai felt a little comforted and quickly came up with a plan.

The steps were simple: confess, then consummate their love.

Who cares about being coy or taking things slow? Forget all that!

She's going to die anyway. Why not let her have this?

The second step of her plan went very smoothly. What really troubled her was the first: Why did he think "I like you" was just a ploy to get into his pants? Damn it, don't underestimate a mouse's sincere feelings!

2.

Jing He was a young prodigy, the pride of the heavens, born into a wealthy family and blessed with an exceptionally handsome face.

A firm believer in meritocracy, he joined the chief data analysis team at one of the country's three major departments as an intern during his junior year.

Unlike Tao Dai, he radiated the cool, haughty air of an elite from head to toe, and was so composed that he seemed almost indifferent.

One day, he stopped by the run-down neighborhood where his parents collected rent and agreed to fix a water pipe while he was there.

No one opened the door. But once inside, he found a girl sitting there with her hair hanging loose.

A face small enough to fit in one palm, long straight hair, and strikingly dark, bright eyes. When she saw him, her eyes went wide.

Damn. I couldn't resist.

It's fine, it was only the first time. Everyone gets curious and acts on impulse sometimes. Then, when he saw her a second time... Damn, I couldn't resist again.

#The elite has no self-control to be proud of.

3.

Jing He: "There's no way I could like her. She's just got slightly bigger eyes, slightly fairer skin, slightly longer legs, a slightly better figure, a slightly prettier face, a slightly cuter personality, says slightly more ridiculous things, and likes me slightly more. But she's just an unemployed good-for-nothing who hasn't achieved anything. There's no way I'd like her."

Friend: "Sure, if you hadn't begged to see her the moment she said she'd just woken up, looked into every man around her, right down to the security guard at the entrance, and lost it when she didn't reply to your messages, bombarding her with calls and texts."

Jing He: "...So what?"

Friend: "Fine. Then you just love staring at your phone, running background checks, and staying up late to chat."

Jing He: "Besides, that security guard is only twenty-five. He's young."

Friend: "...Even if you're my boss, I'm going to hit you today."

4.

A month after they got together,

Jing He finally learned who owned the dusty indigo Porsche parked outside the run-down neighborhood.

Reading tips:

1. The heroine has a crush on him, but she's not at all pathetic about it. If anything, she's a little outrageous.

2. Later on, the hero pursues the heroine. Includes an arrogant man falling for her, convincing himself it's true love, and getting his comeuppance.

3. At heart, this is a sweet half-campus, half-urban fairytale.

Theme: Having the courage to move forward.
