Blurb:

Pei Lingchu thought of Fu Chi as her little sister.

Fu Chi, however, quietly fell in love with her older sister.

After barely seeing each other for nearly ten years, Pei Lingchu had only just returned to the country when she learned that Fu Chi would become her next butler.

A butler, as the name suggests, takes care of all kinds of household affairs.

But the Pei family’s butler also has to serve as an assistant: the heir’s right-hand person.

And Pei Lingchu is the next heir to the Pei family.

One day, after getting drunk and losing control, they did something they shouldn’t have.

Fu Chi licked her lower lip and said in a very well-behaved voice, “Providing special services is part of a butler’s job.”

Pei Lingchu stiffly nodded. Unable to look at her, she said gently, “Xiao Chi, this won’t happen again. Last night… it was my fault.”

Fu Chi’s gaze darkened, but she said quietly, “It can happen again.”

…

Later, Fu Chi deliberately gave herself a high fever and landed in the hospital. She would throw up and feel dizzy whenever anyone else touched her, all just to force Pei Lingchu to come back. What’s more, after returning to university, Fu Chi was rumored to have gotten a girlfriend.

Pei Lingchu lost control and went to confront her, asking bluntly, “Why are you dating someone?”

Fu Chi’s voice was low and bitter as she forced a smile. “Didn’t you say my feelings for you were just the suspension bridge effect?”

“You told me to meet other people.”

“I did what you said.”

“Don’t leave.”

In the end, Fu Chi was the one who left.

When Pei Lingchu was ten, she brought home a scrawny little kid.

The kid was sweet and clingy, always gazing at her with bright, sparkling blue eyes.

She thought she saw the child only as a little sister.

“That day, we looked at each other high above the ground, kissing with our eyes. The sky that day was as clear and bright as her eyes.”

“I don’t know when it began, and no one knows what the future holds.”

Coming next: A Slow Pursuit

Xu Zhiyang fell in love with Xue Muyи at first sight.

The first time they met, Xue Muyi rescued a little girl from the ski slope. She was graceful, confident, witty, and bright-eyed, a top ski instructor at the resort.

The second time, Xue Muyi was a charming bartender. When customers offered to share a drink, she never turned them down, smiling and responding with effortless ease.

Xu Zhiyang bought her a drink too and asked, “Has anyone ever asked to kiss you?”

“Can I be your first?”

That night, Xu Zhiyang and Xue Muyi slept together.

The next day, Xue Muyi vanished without a trace. Only then did Xu Zhiyang realize that Xue Muyi’s wit and humor, and even the sorrowful tears she had shed while drunk, were all fake. It had all been a way to make money.

Heartbroken over the breakup, Xu Zhiyang was even more upset about the money she’d spent.

She thought their relationship would end as a one-night stand. But then, on a rainy night, she saw Xue Muyi sheltering outside a hotpot restaurant, dragging a mountain of luggage behind her. Exhaustion was written all over her beautiful face, and Xu Zhiyang couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.

Xu Zhiyang turned and walked away, warning herself not to fall for her again this time.

-

Xue Muyi had moved again.

The hotpot restaurant owner had recommended a place in a nice neighborhood, in a good school district. It was a spacious apartment, and the landlord was a single mother with a daughter. The owner asked Xue Muyi if she minded sharing with the landlord.

After looking over the apartment details, Xue Muyi agreed at once.

To celebrate her move, she bought ingredients for hotpot. Just as she got home and was about to open the door, it swung open from the inside.

Xue Muyi immediately put on a polite, welcoming smile. “Hello, I’m Xue Muyi. From now on, ”

But the moment she recognized the landlord’s face, she fell silent, stunned. “What are you doing here?”

Xu Zhiyang leaned against the doorframe and smiled. “What a coincidence, Instructor Xue.”

Xue Muyi thought it really was a coincidence, until later

Xu Zhiyang said, “I deliberately gave the hotpot restaurant owner the rental listing to lure you into moving in.”

“You used me to hit your sales targets and earn a bigger commission. You owe me some compensation. No one’s ever played me like that before.”

Xue Muyi was broke, while Xu Zhiyang had no shortage of money. She didn’t know what Xu Zhiyang wanted from her. Xu Zhiyang had a child, so surely she couldn’t want Xue Muyi herself.

But Xu Zhiyang wrapped an arm around her neck and smiled. “Of course I want your body.”

With work during the day and someone to wait on her at night, Xu Zhiyang was living the dream. The only thing that gave her a headache was that she kept falling for Xue Muyi again and again.
