Strange Weather

[Complete. Anti-piracy: 80%. Next novel: Falling into the Spring Tide]

At the gathering after the college entrance exams, Lin Xuemi sat beside the boy she had a crush on, their shoulders touching, her heart pounding.

She decided to be brave for once, but when she overheard him talking with his friends, she fled in humiliation.

Only later did Tang Jinzhou learn that one careless remark from him had made Lin Xuemi bury all her feelings. He had personally taught her to give up, turning her secret crush into an endless one.

The next novel is Falling into the Spring Tide. Here's the blurb:

On their wedding night, Lu Meng rushed off because of work. Beneath her coat, she was still wearing the dress she'd worn for the wedding toasts.

It was already late at night when she finished. Only then did she remember the new husband she'd left behind. Feeling guilty, she was trying to figure out how to apologize when she suddenly met a pair of dark, deep-set eyes.

Lu Baifan came closer, dropped to one knee, and took off the woman's elegant wedding shoes.

“Why are you here?”

Meeting her stunned gaze, the man swept her into his arms and replied in a casual tone, “I'm taking you home.”

Lu Meng had assumed that Lu Baifan had married her only to appease his family.

At a family gathering, her little niece pulled him aside and complained, “I would never want to be like Uncle and get married just because it's a good match.”

Lu Baifan had no idea where she'd heard that rumor. He laughed and said, “A lot of couples get together because they're a good match.”

His answer left Lu Meng feeling a momentary pang of disappointment.

She hadn't meant to eavesdrop and was about to leave when she heard the man say, unhurriedly, “But I married your aunt because I love her.”

From the moment I first saw you, I knew there would never be anyone else.
