Fire and Flower Shadows

Blurb One:

At a party, everyone got drunk and started spilling their secrets. Rong Yuan mentioned that she had once gone to great lengths to pursue an older student, only for them to part ways right before the finish line.

"What happened after that?" someone in the crowd asked.

With everyone's eager eyes on her, Rong Yuan waved a hand. "We went our separate ways. That's the end of it. Why does there have to be more?"

Later, after the bonfire party ended, only the two of them were still sober, cleaning up the mess.

The man, who had barely said a word all night, watched the flickering firelight and spoke coldly.

"I picked the restaurant. I bought the movie tickets. When you got drunk at dinner, I took you home. What great effort did you put in?"

With the rest of the team just one wall away, she tried to enter his room and kiss him, but he turned her away.

The next time, though, she still got her way.

His pale eyes were cold, but his skin burned as he looked down at her and demanded,

"Rong Yuan, satisfied? Is this what you call possessing me?"
