Raising a Childhood Friend to Be My Wife

I wrote my first novel two years ago. It's an especially clichéd, cheesy little story, but I'm putting it up as a keepsake. Please be gentle, everyone! My profile has a completed story, After I Ran Into a Ghost, I Ran Into My Husband, which is a little better and worth a look. :3 If he ever got the chance, Han Shisheng would write a book called How to Become an Academic Ace. It would have only one line: First, get yourself an academic ace boyfriend. The academic ace Wen Bushu had grown up playing with him. They lived in the same house and were inseparable, practically sharing a pair of pants. Whenever he saw Wen Bushu's innocent, guileless face, he would curse himself for being a terrible person. He had used studying as an excuse to get Wen Bushu, and the other boy was still completely unaware, letting him have his way. Wen Bushu couldn't understand. He had been the one to fall in love first, so how had Han Shisheng still not noticed? In their ninth year together, they made plans for the future: get into the same university, work and save up to buy a house, get a cat and then a dog, travel around the world together, and still hold hands and stroll by the sea when they were in their seventies and eighties... Years later, rain fell on a street in a foreign land. Han Shisheng thought of the radiant smile Wen Bushu had once turned on him in the rain. At last, the longing he had held back for so long broke loose. Bitter rain mingled with even more bitter tears as he whispered: ...Wen Bushu, if I come back for you now, will you still forgive me? After I left you behind for so long, will you still tell me it's all right? *A simple, sweet little story, written purely for my own enjoyment *Childhood friends / growing up together / getting back together after a breakup / school to city life *The leads are not related by blood or legally, but underage readers should proceed with caution *Mutual crush, a slow and steady love story between two boys, with no real-life inspiration *Ensemble cast, two secondary couples (BG, BL, and GL, none of which affect the main plot) Theme: There is a love that lasts from beginning to end
