#Actor Liang Cong Rumored to Be Quietly Engaged to His Foreign Girlfriend
He pressed his lips together and secretly liked it.
A clap of thunder. Liang Cong rolled over to shield him, his hard features softened by the light.
His breath burned against Chen Zui's shoulder. Half-lidded, Liang Cong asked, "Junior, does this count as sleeping with a fan?"
Chen Zui stared at a moth trapped inside the lampshade and decided to end his ten-year secret crush.

Liang Cong rarely returned to the country after graduating from high school, but when they met again, he recognized his younger sister's old classmate at once: Chen Zui.
A warmhearted person, with stars and moons hidden in his eyes when he smiled.
Liang Cong clearly remembered looking up the name in a dictionary back then.
Zui is pronounced with the fourth tone. It means a kind of plum, with bright red skin, lots of juice, and a sweet taste.
