Male lead's long-held crush comes true | Female lead is not a virgin, male lead is | Long-planned romance | Reunion after years apart

1,

When summer arrived, Yun Xi ended her long-term relationship and returned to her hometown.

Intimate relationships were exhausting. The wise say you can never step into the same river twice.

She only wanted clear moonlight and gentle breezes, and had no intention of falling into love again.

Who could have guessed that at a class reunion, she'd end up in a different kind of relationship with an old high school friend?

That night, the air was hot and heavy. Yun Xi kissed Chen Cang, and for a moment, what little reason she had left made her hesitate.

But the next second, the man's scorching palm burned away the rest of her restraint.

Once became twice. Chen Cang gave her a pleasure she'd never experienced before, and Yun Xi thought that as adults, they were simply each getting what they wanted.

It was nothing more than giving in to desire. She really shouldn't fall for him.

When she said it was over, Chen Cang watched her, his expression shifting between light and shadow. "What, are you bored of me?"

They went back to being friends, and Yun Xi deliberately avoided Chen Cang, though her heart wouldn't obey.

One day, the power went out in her newly rented home, and Yun Xi came across some old belongings of hers in the room.

She couldn't hide her astonishment. Chen Cang had recommended the house to her, but he'd never told her it was his, or that he'd loved her for many years.

Later, her ex-boyfriend came back, hoping to get back together with Yun Xi.

They'd been in love for years, and marriage had been just one step away, but Yun Xi didn't want to lie to herself. She planned to meet up with her ex and explain things clearly one more time. Before she could leave, Chen Cang pinned her against the doorway. Usually so domineering, he suddenly seemed almost aggrieved. He lowered his eyes to her, his lashes trembling. "Don't go."

Summer nights were drawing near. Listen to the late stars say, "I love you."

My Boyfriend's Little Brother Isn't Off Limits

Looks-Obsessed Heartbreaker x Brooding Puppy

1,

Xu Banqiu, second daughter of the Xu family, takes her greatest pleasure in collecting stamps, except the stamps are men.

From a daddy type twelve years older than her, to a puppy eight years younger, from a dignified professor to a passionate risqué influencer.

But Xu Banqiu is beautiful and knows how to use it. Her interest in a man lasts only three weeks. She likes them best before she gets them, and once they're together, her interest plummets. She's also quick to dump them.

After attending a banquet, Xu Banqiu set her sights on the host family's eldest son. He was cool and aloof as the moon, and she'd never dated that type before. But no matter how she tested him, he remained unmoved. For the first time, Xu Banqiu's beauty and tactics hit a wall.

Xu Banqiu: Doesn't like me? Even more interesting.

Giving up wasn't in her vocabulary. Just as she was gearing up to take on this challenge, the man's younger brother came looking for her.

Shen Sui was completely different from Shen Yan. Shen Yan was always cool and expressionless, but Shen Sui's puppy eyes were always bright, and his smile was warm. He silently cornered Xu Banqiu against the wall and asked with a smile, "Sis, if my brother doesn't know what's good for him, how about me? I'm very well-behaved."

Xu Banqiu looked him over carefully.

Happy puppy types like him were a dime a dozen, and she'd dated two, but someone with Shen Sui's looks was rare.

Xu Banqiu was smitten again. His little brother wasn't off limits, after all.

2,

Shen Sui had once seen Xu Banqiu flirt with a man. She wore a red dress, her eyes seductive, and lightly touched the man's Adam's apple with one finger. The alcohol made her lips even redder.

He was too far away to hear what she said, but she seemed to sense his gaze and looked over at him from the corner of her eye. At that one glance, Shen Sui thought, Just like one.

Like the little fox he'd caught when he was a child at the mountain villa. It was fluffy, with big eyes. He'd wanted to take it home, but a servant accidentally let it escape.

Shen Sui watched Xu Banqiu and smiled happily. How wonderful. He'd found another little fox. He wanted to lock her up at home, where no one else could look at her.

But Xu Banqiu had her eye on his eldest brother, and his brother, so cool and refined, seemed to have really been tempted. Even though his brother could barely restrain himself, he still kept up the air of a gentleman.

It didn't matter whether his brother liked Xu Banqiu or not. Shen Sui was determined to have her. She was his little fox, and nobody else could fight him for her.

Later, he accidentally let his true nature show. Xu Banqiu angrily picked up a wineglass from the table and splashed its contents in his face. Shen Sui raised his brows in surprise, then laughed. With his face dripping wet, he grabbed Xu Banqiu and pulled her into his embrace. In a soft voice, he said, "Sis, you missed the left side. Want to try again?"

Theme: Live well.
