After Moving in with My Childhood Friend Who Has a Crush on Me

[Complete. Writing is hard work, and the author thanks all readers who support the official version!] [My next novel, Tricked into Marrying My Obsessive Older Sister, is now underway. Tailbone, marriage before love. Blurb at the end.] *CP: A tsundere, adorable, softhearted bottom * a cold outsider, warm and scheming top *One-on-one romance, a sweet everyday story Tao Wan and Si Yan grew up together. From childhood onward, Si Yan was always the kid everyone else's parents wished they had. When Tao Wan got 90 points, Si Yan got 98. When Tao Wan won a dance competition, Si Yan won a gold medal in a physics competition. Even when it came to going to school, Si Yan left a few minutes earlier and waited for Tao Wan at the intersection every day so they could go together. Tao Wan hated Si Yan. She hated how accomplished she was, hated how her mother was always comparing them, and hated that she could never catch up. So she ran away. During the winter break of her first year of high school, Tao Wan finally got her wish and transferred to the dance program. She thought the two of them would drift further and further apart. But in the end, not only did they attend the same university, they also became roommates. * Tao Wan was both resistant and afraid of living with her childhood friend after their falling-out. She kept thinking Si Yan must hate her too. After all, Tao Wan had left without a word and avoided her at every turn. In Tao Wan's mind, if you hated someone, you made things difficult for them, ordered them around, bullied them, and made them cry their eyes out. Thinking of this, Tao Wan nervously swallowed. At the apartment, Tao Wan secretly watched Si Yan. She had delicate features and long black hair that reached her waist. A pair of thin-rimmed glasses on her nose seemed to separate her from the world, and she had an elegant, distant air. She's a proper person. She probably won't bully me. Tao Wan relaxed. But as the days went by: Si Yan indulged her, took care of her, gave her flowers, cooked for her, nursed her when she was sick, hugged her, and kissed her again and again and again! Tao Wan: ??! In the end, in the proper person's room... Tao Wan lay limp on the bed, eyes red and glazed, her mind slightly blank from overwhelming pleasure, tears clinging to the corners of her eyes. Si Yan placed both hands on her knees and kissed her again, more urgently than before. "Si Yan!" Tao Wan completely broke down. "I hate you!" "That's all right." Si Yan smiled with satisfaction, her voice gentle. "I like you." * Si Yan and Tao Wan met when they were four and were so close as children that they slept together. She thought they could go on like that forever, childhood sweethearts making everyone around them envious. Who could have known Tao Wan would break off their friendship? For the next four years, they had nothing to do with each other. Now that she was back in Tao Wan's life, Si Yan had made up her mind. This time, she would take things slowly and make sure Tao Wan never got the chance to leave her again. Reader's guide: 1. Tsundere, adorably stubborn bottom * cold to outsiders, warm and scheming top Classical dance * finance 2. The story begins when both are sophomores in college. 3. No men in the book, not even as disposable side characters. [Please add this to your collection! This is my next novel. The blurb may be tweaked later. It's a romantic comedy, too.] 1. Marriage before love / older woman / tailbone / six-year age gap 2. Extremely controlling, dark older sister * a spoiled younger sister who throws her weight around 3. A gullible younger sister and a very good liar of an older sister. Chu Yiqiao lost her mother at thirteen and relied on her adopted older sister, Tan Ze, for support. Her sister was beautiful and capable. Chu Yiqiao had no great ambitions, so she handed over the entire inheritance to her. As for herself, she played the good-for-nothing, throwing Tan's name around to intimidate people every day. Everyone around her laughed at Chu Yiqiao. They called her naive and silly for entrusting herself to an outsider with a different surname. Chu Yiqiao had a bad temper and cursed them all out one by one: "I like my sister! I do it willingly!" Until one day, Chu Yiqiao found out she wasn't her mother's biological daughter. What was she going to do? It seemed she was about to lose her sister. * "What should we do?" Tan Ze held the report, her gaze as gentle as ever. "Marry me, Qiaoqiao." "Okay!" Chu Yiqiao was delighted. Her sister always had a solution. Only after getting married did Chu Yiqiao realize that her sister wasn't gentle at all. * Tan Ze was a thoroughgoing egoist who loved only power and wealth. She saw the Chu family as nothing but a pawn, intending to use them up and leave them with nothing. But one tear from Chu Yiqiao at the funeral made her willingly stay and play the role of a live-in nanny for five years. Then the report appeared on her desk, and she smiled. Chu Yiqiao was an impostor. As punishment for deceiving her, she'd have to pay off her debt with her own body. Reader's guide: 1. A domineering older sister with a sharp tongue who thinks the world revolves around her, and a spoiled younger sister who truly has no ambitions and only loves to paint. 2. There's a forced-separation plot later on, but the younger sister is so dense she doesn't even notice. 3. No men in the book, not even as disposable side characters. Theme: Everyone is unique, and we should have the courage to start over.
