Heaven had given Qi Xu all her talent in cooking, and running a small restaurant had made for a comfortable life.

Until an accident left her unable to make food taste like anything to anyone but herself.

On the last day before closing the restaurant, Qi Xu stewed all the ingredients she had left. The aroma, which nobody else could smell, unexpectedly drew in a familiar-looking customer.

The man found her using the phone number on the notice that the restaurant was changing hands, and handed her a bank card with a balance large enough to tempt her.

"Please marry me."

Shi Xian had always had an easy life. He was hailed as a genius on the table tennis court. No one knew that an accident had robbed him of his sense of taste.

Until one day, he ate food made by someone, and it had every bit of color, aroma, and flavor.

When he looked up again, he met a familiar face. It was her.

Shi Xian began to believe that fate was a circle. The distance between his pupils and his heartbeat vanished the instant he met Qi Xu's eyes.

So he handed her the bank card holding all his savings and said solemnly, "Please marry me."

Qi Xu gritted her teeth and agreed.

"When did you get your sense of taste back, anyway?" Qi Xu pushed against Shi Xian's chest. "If you don't tell me, no kisses for you."

Shi Xian gestured for Qi Xu to come closer, but the instant she did, he took her chin and brushed a kiss across her lips. "The first time we kissed."

"Then... why didn't you tell me?" Qi Xu asked in fits and starts during a pause for breath between kisses.

Shi Xian's hand had already started getting mischievous below. "If I told you, what would I use to reel in my wife?"

When Sui Fengran joined the national first team at fourteen, the first person to greet her was Shen Dingcheng, fresh off winning the men's singles World Cup.

Later, Sui Fengran often wondered when she'd started to like Shen Dingcheng.

She had lots of answers, but somehow none of them felt right.

The messy feelings of adolescence, the secrets of a young girl's heart that were hard to put into words, and the guilty glances she quickly turned away after lingering on his back.

It wasn't until she turned eighteen that Shen Dingcheng approached her. "Sui Fengran, I've watched you play for a long time. How about we try partnering up in mixed doubles?"

Her eighteenth birthday present was a mixed doubles gold medal she won with Shen Dingcheng.

From then on, her admiring gaze met his at eye level, and those level gazes met.

They walked together through the snowy Tiantan Apartments, through the training hall scattered with balls, through the packed spectator stands, and onto the highest podium.

-A Silly Little Bonus Scene-

"I really should've gone for that shot today." Sui Fengran was still reviewing today's final, even though she'd already won.

Shen Dingcheng lowered his head, his warm breath falling against her ear. He gently bit her earlobe. "Fengran, looks like I'm not doing a good enough job. How can you still get distracted at a time like this?"

Sui Fengran hurriedly shut her mouth. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

In the middle of their tender, passionate moment, Sui Fengran suddenly felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. When she opened her eyes, she saw a row of faint teeth marks.

Shen Dingcheng didn't stop. "That's your punishment for getting distracted."
