Three Words, Two Desires

Old Flame Rekindled | The Ex-Husband’s Long Road to Redemption | Younger Man and Older Man | You Run, I Chase

A Sincere Ex-Boyfriend with a Rotten Heart x A Resilient, Unexpectedly Tough Little White Flower x A Gentle, Fatherly Uncle

Pei Ting: Sharp-tongued, meticulous in bed, quick-witted, and loyal to his friends. His only flaw is his questionable love life. Actually, calling it a flaw hardly does it justice. Nineteen is the dividing line: before then, he was a die-hard romantic; after then, he was a complete scumbag.

Yong Heng: A powerful man who lives like an idle wanderer, gentle and accepting. He seems like the sort who would never lose his composure, even if the sky fell, yet he keeps making exceptions for a niece who isn't related to him by blood.

That summer, someone saw Pei Ting three times. The first time, he was getting slapped. The second time, he was still getting slapped. The third time, the sharp-tongued, haughty peacock was crouched in a corner, crying with his head in his hands, his face buried between his knees. His shoulders shook with sobs, as if he might pass out any second.

The person who slapped him three times in one week was Yong Rujing.

Yong Rujing was the one clean patch amid all his flaws. He would weep bitterly for her, but he didn't dare boldly pursue her. So, without anyone noticing, an umbrella, a lamp, and a handkerchief appeared by her side. A gentle presence with questionable intentions was slowly encroaching, trying to wipe away every trace of him.
