Childhood friends / secret crush / reunion after years apart / school life first, then city life
Jiang Qian and Yan Lang were known as childhood friends. Everyone knew they were just friends, but Jiang Qian alone knew the truth: her feelings were anything but innocent, and she used their childhood friendship to conceal the affection that had taken root long ago.
After the college entrance exams, she took out the matching keychains she'd bought long ago, carefully wrapped them, and prepared to give one to Yan Lang. But then she saw him walking with another girl. They made a stunning couple, perfectly matched.
Not long afterward, they disagreed over their university applications. Jiang Qian finally understood that a foolish hope was still just a foolish hope. She locked the keychains away at the bottom of a box, along with a secret she had kept buried throughout her youth, unable to put it into words.
Years later, at a class reunion, the girl who had once been her "rival" teased Yan Lang on purpose. "Where's Jiang Qian? You two still aren't together?"
Another person looked surprised. "Weren't they just friends? And wasn't there a rumor back then that you and Jiang Qian...?"
"Of course not. Jiang Qian has always been in love with Yan Lang."
Yan Lang's expression remained cold and indifferent, but he stopped the speaker after the reunion. Once he got a definite answer, his emotions were in turmoil, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
By then, he and Jiang Qian had been out of touch for a long time.
-
They met again on a snowy afternoon. The intimacy they'd shared as teenagers had grown distant and polite over the years. Jiang Qian stood in a narrow, dim corridor, tilted her head, and smiled. "Yan Lang, long time no see."
Yan Lang looked at the man beside her, and Jiang Qian introduced him first. "This is my boyfriend."
After a few brief pleasantries, Yan Lang could only watch Jiang Qian walk away. For the first time, he understood what it meant to regret something too late. He couldn't accept it, and even felt the urge to steal her away.
His friend patiently tried to talk him down. "You'll be punished for breaking up a couple. What you need to do now is let her go and wish her well."
Yan Lang shook his head. "I can't. She was supposed to be mine."
[Bonus scene]
In the hallway of a bar at midnight, Jiang Qian was pinned against a corner by a drunken Yan Lang. They were inches apart.
"Qianqian," Yan Lang called out, hazy with drink. "Why did you lie to me? He's not really your boyfriend."
"..."
"In that case, will you give me a chance to make it up to you?"
Jiang Qian asked calmly, "Make up for what?"
"All these years of regret." Yan Lang looked deeply at her. "I've been an idiot from beginning to end."
Slow burn.
Both are each other's first love. One-on-one, and the male and female leads belong only to each other, body and soul, from beginning to end.
----Upcoming novel: Summer Like Time----
[Marriage Before Love]
One ordinary afternoon, Wen Ruxia walked into the doctor's office. The chief physician looked at her with a grave expression. "Ms. Wen, your test results are back."
As she left the hospital, Wen Ruxia looked up at the sky. The clouds drifted by, and the sun was shining.
As the Wen family's illegitimate daughter, Wen Ruxia had been cautious and careful ever since she was brought back into the family. The boldest thing she had ever done was choose the Tang family's second son, Tang Yibai, when Old Master Wen asked whom she was willing to marry.
Tang Yibai was well known in Jingxi City as an untouchable beauty. He was exceptionally handsome and icily aloof. Countless women were smitten with him, but he had never stopped for anyone.
So no one had high hopes for this arranged marriage from the very beginning.
Wen Ruxia knew it too. During their two years of marriage, she and Tang Yibai got along well and never had any conflicts, but there had never truly been a place for her in his heart.
That evening, after returning from the hospital, Wen Ruxia made Tang Yibai a bowl of zhajiang noodles as usual. After he finished eating, she said, "Tang Yibai, let's get a divorce."
Their marriage had always been in name only. It was time to give him his freedom.
Tang Yibai looked surprised for a moment, but still nodded. "All right."
On the day she left Jingxi, Wen Ruxia sent Tang Yibai a message.
-Tang Yibai, may the rest of your life be peaceful and smooth, may you stay healthy, have a bright future, and live to a ripe old age.
Tang Yibai didn't see it until the next day. He casually replied:
-You too.
On the first day after Wen Ruxia left, Tang Yibai felt a little out of sorts, but didn't think much of it.
On the fifth day after Wen Ruxia left, Tang Yibai was increasingly reluctant to go back to the cold, empty house.
On the eighth day after Wen Ruxia left, Tang Yibai began to miss her zhajiang noodles.
On the fifteenth day after Wen Ruxia left, Tang Yibai found a cufflink in her bedroom drawer. It was the very one he'd lost years ago.
On the twentieth day after Wen Ruxia left, Tang Yibai ran into Dr. Ming at an orphanage. The doctor smiled and asked, "Did your wife's surgery go well?"
On the twenty-first day after Wen Ruxia left, Tang Yibai frantically tried to find out where she lived and, ignoring everyone who tried to stop him, flew to her city that very night...
Slow burn, happy ending

It's really good-looking. Yan Lang has always liked Jiang Xian, but he was afraid that Jiang Xian wouldn't like him, and that even if he confessed his feelings to his friends, they wouldn't be able to do it.
Why do current romances have to find boyfriends out of the trash? Torturing women just for the sake of torturing them 😂w
It's really sad to assume the perspective of the female goose. The result is that the male protagonist exercises unilaterally. Hahahaha, please be sure to chase your wife in the crematorium.
It's really sad to be brought into the perspective of the heroine. Even if it is a simple good friend relationship, the sudden alienation...
[Orange Candy] I've got it, hurry up and we'll meet again, I want to see the male and female protagonists having sex, the second male lead is eyeing them, hehehe
Will we be separated from here, and then we will meet again as adults to pursue his wife? I think the male protagonist just cares and doesn't say anything, but what the female goose wants is the male protagonist's attitude. I hope that when she becomes an adult, she will pursue his wife well and pursue the female goose fiercely.
I don't know why it's so hard to finish reading. It's because they kept missing out on the reunion (to be honest, the mirror was never reunited when I was in school). I feel that there is too little portrayal of the male protagonist, especially when he is in school, he feels like a machine. Come on! The author could greatly improve the emotional and psychological portrayal of the relationship between the male and female protagonists; but having said that, I don't know why but I feel pity for the female protagonist and feel very uncomfortable. Maybe it's because the psychological portrayal of the male protagonist is too little and it doesn't feel three-dimensional enough, so I think the female protagonist is more suitable and not worth waiting for so many years. So in your heart, heroine, do you pursue the missed love of your youth or do you always love him deeply? I really don't understand why Bai Yueguang is so important. (Maybe the depiction is not three-dimensional enough for me to read.) Does love require hard work? Or just plain? I don't understand. I don't know why. I just feel that the heroine is not worth waiting for so long. I feel very sad. I cried because they missed her😭 but I just can't reconcile myself to it. Are you unwilling to miss the protagonist for so long (although it is not considered a long time in the novel) or are you unwilling to accept that the heroine forgives the hero so easily? ... In general, the psychological portrayal of the male and female protagonists can be greatly improved, and the death of the female protagonist that promotes their relationship makes her understand that she has to be brave or she will miss it. Although it is a bit bloody [dog-headed], isn't it just to promote the progress of the male protagonist's pursuit of his wife? [Gotou] After all, do you think the male protagonist succeeded so easily? Haha, I feel unworthy. I still can't see through the male protagonist's heart [covering his face and laughing] [covering his face and laughing]
??? If you don't even call the police, what are you thinking about? This is kidnapping. Extreme people should let them know the price. Speechless
I came here after reading Little Love Poems. In fact, the intention of this article is quite good. I don't understand why the collection is so low. It can be seen that the author hastily ended it. The shortcoming may be that the campus chapter in the front is too long, which makes the city chapter not enough to read. Maybe the collection rate is too low, and the ending is also hasty~ Anyway, I look forward to the author's next book!!
Hahahahahahaha, it feels like dad has seen through everything and won't tell you when he sees through it.
