After Finding My High School Classmate's Phone

Zhou Ning finds a phone. When she turns it on, she sees that the lock screen is a screenshot of her own high school graduation photo, and alarm bells go off in her head.

This is suspicious!

An avid reader of mystery and detective novels, Zhou Ning immediately concludes that someone has been watching her in secret and is planning to commit a crime.

To keep herself safe, Zhou Ning launches a series of investigations, centering on the photo and using the phone as her radius.

She gets nowhere.

Her battery is draining fast, and thanks to her deep faith in public safety, she decides to give up the investigation.

Her friend asks: Did it never occur to you that the person saved the photo because they're secretly in love with you?

Zhou Ning: Really? I don't believe it.

After she gives up investigating, strange things start happening one after another.

Qi Yue, her high school deskmate whom she hasn't seen in six years, suddenly becomes her next-door neighbor. Then she learns by chance that her new landlord is actually the boss at her new company. To avoid getting too close to her boss, she accepts Qi Yue's offer to be roommates.

But despite all her calculations, her next-door neighbor, new landlord, new boss, and new roommate all turn out to be Qi Yue.

Who knows how many secret identities he's got? Peel one off, and there's another underneath!

At last, Zhou Ning realizes something is wrong.

She seems to have fallen into a vast Qi Yue universe.

So what could Qi Yue's motive be? He must have another secret identity!

At last, the evidence is conclusive. The fugitive who's secretly in love with her is right before her eyes.

Qi Yue: "Isn't there anything else you want to ask?"

Zhou Ning presses her lips together, then finally manages to ask, "Do you like me?"

Qi Yue makes no attempt to hide it. "Yes."

In the underground parking garage, inside a sealed car, Qi Yue backs her into a corner, then smiles as obediently as can be and asks, "Are you going to arrest me now? I'll obey any order."

Zhou Ning thinks in a daze that perhaps she's the fugitive.

She ran away for nine years, but now there's no escape.

-- Upcoming: What to Do After Kidnapping the Princess Sent for a Political Marriage --

A bold young man of the grasslands x a gentle yet strong-willed princess from the Central Plains

As a princess sent for a political marriage, Zhao Yuqing considers herself a politician.

Though the price of maintaining peace between the two nations is marrying an old geezer as his eighteenth concubine, Yuqing firmly believes it's worth it.

If she can preserve peace for more than fifty years, then generations to come will surely remember her name. That's even more worth it.

But on the way to her wedding, she is intercepted by the younger son of the ruler of another grassland tribe.

Oh no, her plan to be remembered for generations is ruined.

She has to escape!

Under endless skies and across boundless plains, Yuqing puts all her strength into running, but the long arrows fly faster than she does, landing at her feet to block her path.

When she looks back, the ruler's younger son is on horseback, holding up a longbow and smiling at her. He looks like a spoiled young noble.

Wherever she runs, an arrow lands, until they form a ring around her.

"Your Highness, this is your ninth escape attempt. You made it farther than the eighth time, and ran faster than the sixth. Your scouting and counter-surveillance skills have improved by at least half since your first attempt. You deserve a reward!"

The young man leisurely rides over and scoops her up in front of him.

Yuqing struggles. "I'd rather die than marry you!"

"So spirited." He holds her fast and bends down to peck her on the corner of her lips. "But it won't work."

* She runs, he chases

* 1v1, both are each other's first
