Coming Soon: Heavy Dependence. Please add it to your library! (Scroll down to read the blurb or visit the author's profile.) At 12:01 a.m. on New Year's Day, Wen Yu was celebrating the new year with friends when she received two texts from an unknown number: [Happy New Year.] [I love you.] She assumed they were meant for someone else and didn't think much of them. At ten in the morning, the hashtag "Fu Yao has died" shot to the top of the trending list and stayed there. A clip from Fu Yao's livestream promoting her new drama the night before was dug up. In it, the host asked her, "If tomorrow were the last day of your life, what would you do?" Fu Yao answered, "I'd message someone. First, I'd wish her a happy new year, then I'd tell her the things I never got a chance to say." Seeing the news that Fu Yao had died by suicide after suffering from depression, Wen Yu remembered the text from the unknown number in the early hours and fell silent. She suddenly recalled that there had been a track athlete in the class next door in high school who was good at long-distance running. Her name had also been Fu Yao. When she woke from an afternoon nap, Wen Yu found herself back in her senior year of high school. Fu Yao was a track athlete, good at long-distance running. Just as she was about to sprint the final stretch of the school's 3,000-meter race, she saw the girl she'd had a crush on for two years standing at the finish line and thought for a moment that she was hallucinating. As she crossed the finish line and slowed to a stop, the girl came up to her and asked cautiously, "Are... you Fu Yao?" Fu Yao stared at her blankly. "...Yes." The girl smiled. "Hi, I'm Wen Yu, from the class next door." Fu Yao looked at her. "I know." Bonus Scene Ten years later. As the first snow of the new year fell, Fu Yao, holding a bouquet of lisianthus, and Wen Yu, carrying violets, met at Riverside Plaza. Wen Yu: Sorry to keep you waiting. Fu Yao: As long as you come, I can wait as long as it takes. Please Note: 1. Wen Yu is the bottom, and Fu Yao is the top. 2. This is not a reborn story. Wen Yu's consciousness returns to a point in time, when she is in her senior year of high school. She will later return to the present and reunite with Fu Yao ten years later. 3. One-on-one romance, both leads' first love, sweet romance. Coming Soon: Heavy Dependence The day Jian Li was brought home by her birth mother, her mother told her she had an older sister. Her sister was her mother's adopted daughter, two years older than her. The first time Jian Li saw Ning Qing, she was standing on the stairs, looking down at Jian Li against the light. She had the air of someone who saw Jian Li as little more than an insect. Ning Qing had been carefully raised by the Ning family since childhood. She was highly educated and beautiful, and the family had already chosen her as their heir. Jian Li, brought home halfway through her life, had graduated from an ordinary university and worked an ordinary job. She was no match for Ning Qing in any way. The Ning family thought the two of them had a bad relationship. They didn't even greet each other when they met, seeming like strangers under the same roof. Outsiders thought they couldn't stand each other: one was the lofty heir to a family business, the other an aimless young lady who lived off the family. They seemed to have nothing in common. Only Jian Li knew how easy it was to win over the seemingly cold Ning Qing. One "Big Sister" was enough to make Ning Qing protect her from the day she returned to the Ning family for the rest of her life. In private, Ning Qing was incredibly clingy, unable to stand going a day without seeing Jian Li. Even on business trips, she had to video call her. Bonus Scene When Ning Qing found out Jian Li was going to be set up on a blind date, she dropped her work and rushed home. Grabbing Jian Li's hand, she stood before their mother. Her gaze was firm. "Jian Li is mine." Jian Li was a little embarrassed. "Well, you know what they say, it's better to keep good things in the family..." Mother: "?!" Please Note: 1. Jian Li is the bottom, Ning Qing is the top. They are not blood-related, and when their romantic relationship begins, they are no longer registered in the same household. 2. One-on-one romance, both leads' first love, sweet romance. Theme: Treasure what you have and seize the moment
