[Beijing elite circle / foster care / pseudo uncle and niece]

1. At sixteen, You Ning crouches in a cramped corner.

A cool breeze brushes past. She looks up and meets a man's deep gaze, then hurriedly looks away. In his hand, a palladium lighter flickers on and off.

Only after she follows him to Jingzhou does she learn that she is supposed to call Xu Huaifeng "Little Uncle."

You Ning lives cautiously, but eventually someone comes to resent her.

No one expects Xu Huaifeng, usually so detached and indifferent, to take an interest in family affairs for once and bring her into his private residence, regardless of what others might say.

"From now on, this child stays with me."

2. At last, You Ning understands why people are always throwing themselves at him, while she tries desperately to hide the ridiculous feelings growing inside her.

The wind picks up after school one day, and she stretches out her arms. "My longing for you is endless."

"What are you doing?"

You Ning looks up to see Xu Huaifeng turn around. She blurts out a lie, saying she's reciting a poem.

As passersby look on, drawing attention to them, he says, "I didn't send you to school so you'd turn into an idiot."

After graduation, she can no longer keep her feelings hidden. She secretly listens to him speak. Marriage is of no importance to him, yet he pauses only when the topic turns to the girl in his family.

Her cheeks burn, but then she hears him say, "I'm only making amends for someone else's sins."

3. In the first year after leaving Jingzhou, You Ning doesn't come home, not even once, and doesn't call.

Xu Huaifeng sits in an immaculate room all night. Only when the wind rises at dawn does he realize that she had wanted to hug him that day.

But the girl who once depended on him now has her arm linked with another man's. She has shed her childishness and blossomed into a graceful, captivating woman.

She raises her chin. There's none of the caution she used to show. "Little Uncle, this is my boyfriend."

Xu Huaifeng has never bowed his head to anyone.

Yet later, night after night, he loses to the breathless calls of "Little Uncle."

Upcoming: "My Blind Date Is in the Prime of His Life" (A sweet little story of over 100,000 words. I'll write this one first as a transition.)

As she nears thirty, her family pressures her to get married. The men they introduce are either hopeless cases or divorced fathers with kids.

Lu Manman gives up resisting, closes her eyes, and waves a hand.

Later, when she goes on a blind date and sees the vigorous, well-established man across from her, her best friend tells her she's struck it rich.

The once-green young man, fresh out of the gate, has become a pillar of the national swimming team.

Tall and athletic, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a toned abdomen...

Cheng Yi greets her politely, as if he isn't surprised. "Ms. Lu, long time no see."

Lu Manman instantly panics. Without a word, she turns and runs.

"No way. He was my student."

"Younger means healthier."

"No way. He's too good for me. I don't have the confidence."

"It'll help improve the next generation's genes."

"No way. I broke them up before."

"What do you know? It's fate."

Later, after a night of passion, Lu Manman wakes up with an aching waist. She sees the man in an apron, his ample chest half exposed, and decides her friend was right.

---Young is good. Young is really great!

.

Lu Manman doesn't know that ever since he turned eighteen, whenever Cheng Yi stood on the winners' podium, he silently repeated her name.
