Kisses Taste Sweet

[Childhood friends | Slightly brooding cool guy x Slightly hot-tempered sweetheart]

-

Li Qianyi's online date went badly, and she missed the last high-speed train home.

Afraid her parents would misunderstand and think she'd spent the night with a guy she met online, she reluctantly contacted her childhood friend, whom she'd been fighting with.

Her childhood friend, He Jiashu, was two years older. He was handsome in a proper, respectable way and had the steady personality of an adult, so Li Qianyi's parents trusted him a lot. Whenever she needed to lie, she always dragged him in to cover for her.

When they met, after making sure she was safe, He Jiashu confiscated the handmade gift she'd brought for the guy and gave her a frosty smile.

"Li Qianyi, you've really outdone yourself."

Li Qianyi timidly crouched down and covered her head. "I got dumped today. Could you please be a little gentler with me...?"

He Jiashu gave her a long look. "I almost got dumped too."

That night, Li Qianyi got to experience her first kiss, just as she'd hoped.

Only the person she kissed was someone else.

"What else did you want to do with him? Kiss him, what else?"

Li Qianyi lay on the bed with her face covered, trying her best to ignore the pressure from above.

He Jiashu wouldn't let it go. He pried her hands apart and moved to kiss her again.

"Stop asking! I won't contact him again. The plans... they're all just fantasies now."

"Your fantasies are exactly what I want to hear."

"I'll make all your fantasies come true, and I'll be the one in them."

[He Jiashu is a dog-crazy lunatic!]

Note:

The male lead isn't in the entertainment industry, and he won't join it.

At first, the female lead doesn't see the male lead as a romantic prospect. She liked someone else before him.

[Secret Crush Comes True | Fake Couple Contract | Physical First, Love Later | A Little Chasing-His-Wife-to-the-Crematorium]

Having a crush on your best friend's older brother is both good and bad.

The good part is that even though he's the kind of man who makes girls dream of reaching the clouds, she can easily find out how he's doing, what kind of wine he likes, and whether he usually drives a Cullinan or a Maybach.

The bad part is that if her crush is ever discovered, the embarrassment will be twice as bad.

So Su Jinmeng pretended not to care. She made a point of acting like she disliked him, even hated him, and quietly remained an invisible presence in his social circle.

Unexpectedly, that turned out to be a stroke of luck.

Zhou Muli invited her to pretend to be his girlfriend to help him deal with romantic and marriage-related troubles.

Because she seemed like the person least likely to fall in love with him.

Unfortunately, Su Jinmeng still let him down in the end.

The day her secret crush was exposed, she didn't have the courage to hear him reject her, so she ran away without looking back.

*

The next time he saw his "ex-girlfriend," Zhou Muli's vaunted rationality failed him.

It was all because she was hiding in another man's arms, looking at him with bright eyes full of brazen defiance.

The feeling of burning jealousy was unbearable, and it lured him into the muddy waters of love.

"You haven't slept with me yet. Don't you think that's a shame?"
