Not as Gentle as the Evening Breeze

I came up with a hundred ways to confess my feelings, but none could compare to the evening breeze that happened to blow at this very moment.

“So, are you willing to spend every sunset for the rest of your life with me, feeling the evening breeze beneath the setting sun?”

Xia Jin's feelings for Gu Xun began with a secret crush in high school and ended on the eve of her departure to study abroad.

She thought they would always go their separate ways.

That is, until she went through the motions of a blind date arranged by her aunt to appease her family.

At the cafe, Xia Jin studied the man she hadn't seen in years, almost doubting her own eyes. She couldn't help but laugh wryly. “Handsome, you look a lot like my ex-boyfriend.”

The handsome man gave a cool laugh and greeted her without a trace of emotion. “Is that so?”

He nudged his glasses up and leaned closer, his tone teasing. “Take another look.”

To avoid one blind date after another, Xia Jin hired Gu Xun to pretend to be her boyfriend and help her dodge her family's pressure to marry.

The terms were that he accompany her to important occasions, for five hundred yuan per appearance, for a period of one year.

When the year was up, Xia Jin lounged on the sofa and waved him away. “Get lost.”

The man beside her gave a cold laugh, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms. His gaze was direct yet tender. “You weren't saying that last night.”
