Seventeen years old, at graduation.

Shen Que cornered Xin He in an empty spot and kissed her fiercely, head bowed.

His tongue touched the coppery taste of blood where she'd bitten him. He gripped her chin and sneered.

"How does it feel to be kissed by me? Disgusting, right, Xin He?"

Remember this feeling. Never think you can forget me, Xin He...

Xin He stared at the gloomy boy before her in utter disbelief, but didn't back down.

"Shen Que, you're an ungrateful wolf who can't be tamed!"

Shen Que glanced at the figure he had been jealous of for three years. Jealousy burned through his reason in an instant, and he pointed toward Shen Jia'an in the distance.

"You call me a wolf? Too bad you're the dog who's been wagging her tail around him!"

Those harsh words became a source of guilt that haunted Shen Que for years.

*

Years later, Xin He, worn down by life, unexpectedly ran into her high school nemesis, the person she'd secretly loved during the best years of her youth, a love that had never come to fruition.

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.

The moment she saw him, she turned and ran.

Behind her, a familiar voice called her name clearly.

Beneath the dim lights, Shen Que didn't hesitate. He chased after her.

The gloomy boy of the past now clutched her scarred wrist tightly.

His bloodshot eyes brimmed with obsession. His voice was hoarse, his words full of humble surrender.

"Xin He... this time, can I be the dog?"

"I'll only circle around you. I'll wag my tail and beg only for you."

He bent his stubborn back and kissed her scarred wrist, his Adam's apple bobbing as he pleaded.

"I only ask you to... look at me."

[Because I love you, I've become the person you used to be. I want to be your reason to stay in this broken world.]

Dedicated to every friend whose heart has been broken. May we all be loved, imperfect as we are when we hit our lowest point. May you and I live well and enjoy the good things in life.

Note: The heroine has obvious psychological problems early in the story, and there are descriptions of her conditions and symptoms!!! Happy ending, happy ending, happy ending!

Coming soon: Sauerkraut Crock Meets Macaron. Please add it to your collection! This will be my next book!!!

[An enthusiastic, adorable, rough-around-the-edges ray of sunshine and clumsy girl VS a refined, obsessive-compulsive young gentleman who's reserved and cool]

When the bold Northeastern dialect meets the gentle Wu dialect, everything quickly spirals out of control.

First, the heirloom sauerkraut crock Zhao Dahua hauled across two thousand kilometers was smashed to pieces on the very first day she met Gu Qinghuai.

Second, Zhao Dahua accidentally tore a huge hole in her roommate Gu Qinghuai's shirt.

Third, the two appeared together on a livestream, planning to half-heartedly get their work done, but the viewers went wild shipping them.

In the end, they were forced to play along.

Then, one night...

Gu Qinghuai cornered Zhao Dahua in front of the sauerkraut crock. "The viewers say you've tamed me."

"They're blind!" Zhao Dahua took three big steps back. "You're obviously just acting!"

Gu Qinghuai took her hand and pressed it against his abs. "After acting out all those scenes where you rip my clothes... shouldn't Teacher Zhao pay me a little?"
