Mind and body healing | Mature adults | Cross-cultural romance | Passionate push and pull

He had deep-set eyes, chestnut curls, a tall, strong build, and an indescribable, lethal sexuality and allure.

On foreign soil, Guan Luqing fell in love with him at first sight.

Fate seemed like a game full of surprises. It turned out that one-sided affection could also be a tacit, mutual attraction.

On the Azure Coast, it was Qin Yuzhou who made the first invitation: "Gloria, want to come with me?"

Just then, the music playing in the shop nearby reached the line:

"Love's a game, wanna play?"

(Love is just a game. Would you like to play?)

The jellyfish-blue sea beneath Castle Hill was beautiful, and she found herself lost in a pair of mysterious blue eyes.

Later, Guan Luqing traveled with Qin Yuzhou through several cities in Europe.

Their passionate, breathless kisses brought moments of dazed abandon and surrender. They seemed like soulmates, perfectly in tune whether it was day or night.

This foreign fling would come to an automatic end when the trip was over. Guan Luqing thought this was a secret they both understood without needing to say it.

But on the night before she returned home, Qin Yuzhou invited her to attend a friend's wedding with him. She joked and asked what her status would be.

His answer, "Girlfriend," let Guan Luqing glimpse his true feelings in a moment of panic. But helplessness and loss of control consumed her thoughts. The trip ended in a rush, and she fled back home.

Several months later, Guan Luqing thought she had forgotten her days in Europe with Qin Yuzhou.

Even when they met again back home, she could calmly laugh off their former intimacy as a brief affair.

"We're not in Europe anymore. I've come home and have my own life now, haven't I?" She tried to persuade Qin Yuzhou to give up.

But the man before her seemed to have become someone else. His former tenderness and restraint had vanished, leaving only aggression and dominance.

"If I hadn't been willing to let you go, you wouldn't even have made it onto the plane home."

Content warnings: Both leads have had previous partners and are over thirty.

Other tips:

The locations are fictional and have no real-life inspirations. Half the story takes place in Europe. Love at first sight in the early chapters, pure romance later on. The career details are made up, so please don't scrutinize them. Neither lead is a perfect person. Any discussion of related fields is for the plot only and doesn't represent any particular position. If anything bothers you, please stop reading.

*The lyrics in the blurb are from Taylor Swift's "Blank Space."

Blurb for Half-Ripe Fruit:

When they first met, Chi Jiang was representing the student council to greet He Tianzhou, who was already an untouchable rising star in the capital.

Back then, Chi Jiang was innocent and lively, and utterly confident: "I'm pretty, cute, and talented. Why wouldn't I be good enough for him?"

Everyone laughed at her naivete, never imagining that the man in question would hear her.

Even Chi Jiang was surprised when a man like him approached her and asked if she would be willing to put on an act with him.

"I have a deal to offer. Would Miss Chi be interested?"

And so Chi Jiang became his pretend girlfriend, because they shared a common goal.

With his help, Chi Jiang entered the entertainment industry and landed roles. She became a hugely successful prodigy of an actress. When their contract ended, she announced her retirement and went abroad to pursue her dreams again, breaking up with He Tianzhou without hesitation.

Years later, Chi Jiang returned home with her debut film. It didn't make much of a splash, but the premiere was still packed. The media weren't interested in the movie, but in her past relationship.

People in their circle said that Mr. He had nearly destroyed the entire He family for an actress back then.

After the premiere, He Tianzhou was nowhere to be seen. The backstage staff were in a panic because no one could get in touch with Chi Jiang. In the end, everyone left disappointed.

No one would ever know that a black Maybach was parked in a corner of the underground garage.

This time, unlike before, Chi Jiang was the one to make the first move. It was also the first time she had ever humbled herself before He Tianzhou.

"You want me to help you? Director Chi, what are you going to offer in exchange?"

"What? Be your girlfriend again?"

Hidden in the shadows, He Tianzhou watched Chi Jiang with a deep, unreadable gaze and smiled casually.

"I won't fall for the same thing twice, and I won't give you another chance to break up with me."

"Marry me."

His manner seemed to leave no room for refusal, but only He Tianzhou knew how afraid he was that Chi Jiang would turn and leave without a backward glance again.

Then let's use each other one more time.

He Tianzhou hated her naivete, but he also wanted to protect it.

Theme: The right person will be part of your future.
