The Candy Wrapper Trap

In the sweltering heat of cicada-filled summer, the cool and distant Song Yuchuan is always being "pursued" by strawberry candies from his deskmate, Xu Xingchui. Hidden inside the star-shaped candy wrappers handed over by those pale fingertips is a secret that smells of disinfectant. The candy-wrapper boats drifting in the evening breeze on the rooftop carry feelings neither of them can put into words.

When a sweet coating wraps around a thorny past, and clumsy folds in candy wrappers take the shape of love, this "sweet trap" that began with a single strawberry candy has already bound two hearts tightly in the long, sunlit days of summer.

"I willingly fell for your candy-wrapper trap."

More sweet than candy is the sincerity you hide inside its wrapper.

* A mindless, super-sweet romance. The timeline moves incredibly fast!!! Don't overthink it! (You can use your brain for the bonus chapters.) This is the author's first completed novel without abandoning it!!!

* Some may wonder why there are so many alternate-universe routes. Just think of the three of them dreaming together every day, or playing at role-playing together. Either is fine! Don't think too hard about the logic!!

* Don't worry about the Xu family. They're just passersby. Xingxing grew up in an orphanage and was only found in his first year of high school. They brought him back just for an arranged marriage, and they have other heirs.

* Don't worry about the Song family either. They never pay attention to Yuchuan. And after the drowning incident, when he nearly died, he more or less severed ties with his family.

* Aside from Xingxing and Yuchuan, the only named characters in this story are Lin Xiaotang and Xiaotao!

Xiaotang appears throughout the novel and is a famous shipper.
