Girl-Crazy Dog | Childhood Friends | Boy's Secret Crush | Relentless Pursuit
Blurb:
Other childhood friends are either inseparable, secretly in love, or swept off their feet.
Li Zhi and Xiang Yue, on the other hand, can't stand the sight of each other. They're like fire and water.
All because she can't speak, and Xiang Yue calls her "Little Mute."
*
The Li and Xiang families have been close for generations.
Xiang Yue was raised to look after little Zhi and never bully her.
As a child, Li Zhi was pretty and well-behaved, like a little princess carved from jade. To get her attention, Xiang Yue cruelly called her "Little Mute."
So Li Zhi bit him, leaving a scar on the web of his thumb.
She also warned him in sign language: Can you act like a decent person?
And so their feud began.
*
Later, when a suitor asked Li Zhi if she would go out with him,
Li Zhi, longing for a love that would leave her breathless, shyly signed: Yes.
Xiang Yue appeared out of nowhere and helpfully translated for him: "She told you to get lost."
Li Zhi: ?
She punched Xiang Yue hard in the chest, then furiously signed: Do you think I can't hear you?!
But Xiang Yue pulled her into his arms and gave her grim-faced suitor a victorious look. "See? She said she likes me."
"She likes me so much she can hardly wait to throw herself at me."
-
As the years passed, the scar faded.
To Xiang Yue, the bite mark on his thumb looked like a pair of tiny kitten teeth.
