A Tangled Relationship [Childhood Friends]

*A gorgeous, ambitious childhood friend x a refined, elegant-looking childhood friend who is actually gloomy and obsessive

*Childhood friends / Reunited after years apart / Obsessive love / Both fight and compete for each other

After a wild night with Yu Zhenzhen, Xie Yuhe woke in the afternoon to find the space beside him empty. It was as if the soft, tender sobbing he'd heard by his ear during the night had only been a dream.

He messaged Yu Zhenzhen: "I was drunk."

After thinking for a moment, he added: "I'll take responsibility."

--But before that last message could go through, a red exclamation mark appeared.

Ha!

Xie Yuhe gritted his teeth. For just a moment, he'd even thought of names for their children. More than one, at that.

*

Years later, the name "Xie Yuhe" was beyond the reach of countless people, and the Xie Group flourished under his leadership.

Whenever people talked about him, they called him refined and elegant, like a bright moon and a gentle breeze.

Only Yu Zhenzhen knew how crazy he was in private.

The banquet wasn't even halfway over before the door to the suite was locked. Xie Yuhe held her firmly in his arms and took what he wanted.

His lips curved into a smile. "Little Zhenzhen, do you have a new boyfriend?"

Then came a series of cold laughs. "Is this one any good? Are you going to marry him?"

Then came his frantic interrogation. "Well? Say! Something!"

Tears streaming down her face, Yu Zhenzhen couldn't form a sentence. Looking at the red-eyed face by her feet, wild with rage, she could only think that his illness had flared up again.

[Reading Notes]

*[IMPORTANT!!!] Neither lead is perfect. The male lead is dark and obsessive, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing.

*The female lead has dated before and will date again. The male lead has never dated.

*The author revises constantly, and pirated copies can differ greatly. Writing isn't easy, and the full novel costs no more than a cup of Mixue tea. Thank you, dear readers, for supporting the official version on Jinjiang!

1.

The Jiang and Lin families were neighbors, and Jiang Tingwan and Lin Zhiyan had known each other since childhood.

Jiang Tingwan never imagined she'd receive a love letter from Lin Zhiyan.

Lin Zhiyan was an outstanding young man, with exceptional looks and physique. To outsiders, he was like a bright moon in a clear sky. Jiang Tingwan had seen countless girls swoon over him.

After thinking it over carefully, she decided to accept Lin Zhiyan.

But she was in the middle of preparing for the crucial college entrance exam, so she quickly sent Lin Zhiyan a message before throwing herself back into her studies.

A year later, Jiang Tingwan enrolled at the university Lin Zhiyan attended.

Knowing how proud Lin Zhiyan was, she took the initiative to invite him: "Brother Xiao Yan, let's go to the garden fair together! We can solve riddles, do crafts, take pictures..."

Lin Zhiyan: ?

Not long afterward, she learned that Lin Zhiyan was flirting with another female classmate. Jiang Tingwan tore into him: "You're a total jerk! You're fickle, unfaithful, disloyal, and a cheating scumbag!"

Lin Zhiyan: ???

Later, Jiang Tingwan pulled herself together and got ready to start a new relationship.

Lin Zhiyan blocked her behind a door, his dark eyes so somber they made her uneasy. "Who are you cheating on me with?"

Jiang Tingwan wanted to claw up that shameless face of his.

"Lin Zhiyan, you and I have absolutely nothing to do with each other--"

Before she could finish, Lin Zhiyan forcefully stole her breath away.

Outside, the sky was bright and clear. Inside, the air was hot and humid. Jiang Tingwan was like a little boat lost at sea, adrift for a long time, unable to make landfall all night.

Lin Zhiyan kissed her frantically, demanding an answer again and again: "Tingting, what are we?"
