"About Helping My Crush Win Me Over, Only to Be Kissed Until I’m Breathless in the End"

Ye Ying grew up privileged and was always the apple of her family’s eye, until her father brought his illegitimate son to her birthday banquet and introduced him to everyone. It had been less than six months since her mother died.

That night, Ye Ying drank herself into a stupor. Looking back on her life, she could only find it absurd and laughable.

When she opened her eyes again, she was seventeen, and so was Xie Wanshao. Ye Ying’s vivid memory of Xie Wanshao was still of the public suicide note she had posted on her social media feed that year.

Unable to bear the thought of another vibrant life withering away, Ye Ying kindly helped her again and again.

The last time, she helped her right into bed.

After they started college, Xie Wanshao said she had fallen for someone and asked Ye Ying for advice. Ye Ying gave it, and then Xie Wanshao asked her to help come up with a plan. Ye Ying did as she asked.

On the night Xie Wanshao decided to confess her feelings, she invited Ye Ying to witness it.

Ye Ying stood her up. She didn’t go.

As she drank alone, growing tipsy, there was a knock at the door.

Ye Ying looked at the person standing in the doorway, slightly drunk. “Didn’t you have something important planned tonight?”

The woman pressed her lips together.

Ye Ying raised an eyebrow. “Did you get rejected?”

Those beautiful eyes lowered.

Ye Ying grew angry. “Who’s the blind fool who dared reject you? Tell me, and I’ll, ”

The next moment, Xie Wanshao stepped forward and kissed her, sealing away the words she hadn’t finished.

“...Why didn’t you come?”
