A Tiger-Toothed Smile

In everyone's eyes, Lin Shuangqing is a good girl, a model daughter who always listens to her elders and never crosses the line.

But after the college entrance exams, she did something "outrageous."

She left a bite mark on Song Zhiyu's face.

She also made sure to be frank with Song Zhiyu, whose face had turned bright red.

"Song Lamb, I've been craving a bite of you."

"For a long time."

Then Lin Shuangqing drew back and met Song Zhiyu's bewildered gaze. With effortless ease, she kissed her.

"I've had a crush on you too."

Song Zhiyu had secretly loved Lin Shuangqing for ages and had no idea how to confess. Now she was completely stunned.

The next day, when they returned to school for their graduation photos, Song Zhiyu was in high spirits. But the hickey on her face got her posted on the school gossip wall.

No one was jealous of the girl, though. They were all jealous of Song Zhiyu.

To most students at No. 1 High School, Lin Shuangqing was like their Confucius and Mencius, a sage of their youth.

So they couldn't help marveling: Song Zhiyu is handsome and gets great grades, and now she's dating Lin Shuangqing too? She has the best luck!

1.

In her fifth year in the entertainment industry, Goldfish landed the lead role in her first film. It became an overnight hit, making her famous.

After that, she had one job after another, flying all over the world. She had no time to stop, and no time to go home.

Because she was so busy and never came home, she received a complaint from someone one night, well past midnight.

"Wife, are you ever coming home?"

Goldfish had been working all day. When she saw the message, she was a little confused. Not because she was unsure whether she had a husband, but because she had forgotten she even had one.

"Don't worry, darling." Goldfish casually sent back an affectionate pet name.

Then she explained, all righteous conviction: "I'm working to support our family!"

A notification rang out, but not on Goldfish's phone. It came from the other person's.

Goldfish transferred 9,999 yuan to the other person.

Goldfish looked at the screen, pleased, and smiled. Now they shouldn't feel insecure, right? She really was working to support the family!

But the very next second, the other person rejected the transfer and sent a giant question mark.

Other person: Goldfish, are you planning to dump me and find someone new?

Other person: What do you take me for, a gigolo?

Goldfish stared at the messages, rubbing her temples in confusion. She thought, It's over. This person's lost it. They won't even take my money.

She looked up and swore to herself that she would work even harder. Once she got home, she'd take this person to see a doctor.

2.

Jiang Zhihe's career luck was terrible. He was always getting replaced.

After playing countless stand-ins, bit parts, and minor roles in short dramas, he finally landed his first supporting role in a long-form drama. Just when he thought his career might finally be looking up, he was told the job had fallen through.

When he got home, he saw the trophies displayed there and thought of the person who hadn't been around for a long time.

He picked up his phone and hesitated for ages before finally sending a message, afraid to bother her.

He ran his fingers over the name on the trophy: "Goldfish." The title above it read "Most Popular Actress of the Year."

Jiang Zhihe gave a self-deprecating smile. He wondered when he would ever catch up to her.

Maybe he never would.

"Husband, don't panic!"

"I'm almost home. Wait for me!"

Jiang Zhihe looked at the messages on the screen. His heart felt heavy, but he still smiled and let out a quiet breath. He silently vowed to make a name for himself.

"People are drawn to light. Don't try to change why they're drawn to it. Instead, become a source of light yourself."

Rock, paper, scissors: win and get punched by the cat; lose and get punched by the cat again.

* Elegant, cold, violent cat and a quick-witted, foul-mouthed dog

* Triple-threat celebrity and comedian (tentative)
