When Luo Shi was still in kindergarten, a quiet little boy moved in across the hall.

They didn't get along at first because he only spoke English, which she couldn't understand.

But they lived under the same roof and were in the same class, so she compromised and learned English to talk to him. Then one day, out of nowhere, he started speaking Chinese too.

Luo Shi: "So you could speak Chinese all along? Why didn't you say so before!"

Zheng Jinxing didn't explain. He just lowered his head and fell silent.

-

As they grew up, they got along well, and Luo Shi often liked to tease him.

"Since you lost, how about I punish you by making you tell me one honest truth?" Luo Shi closed the chess box with a smile and leaned toward him without waiting for an answer.

It was phrased as a question, almost like she was coaxing him, her voice so soft it seemed to tickle.

"Sure, ask away."

Zheng Jinxing had a clear conscience and thought there was nothing he couldn't say.

"All right." Luo Shi nodded. "Did you come with me to the coming-of-age ceremony because you couldn't bear to let me go alone?"

In an instant, Zheng Jinxing's heart skipped a beat.

He stiffly covered the smartwatch on his wrist.

Beneath his palm, the heart rate displayed on the watch kept climbing, slowly reaching 120 before it finally stopped...

-

Later, on the sofa, Zheng Jinxing, who had never been one to express his feelings, cradled the back of her head and kissed her lips again and again.

"You..." Luo Shi was too shocked to speak.

But Zheng Jinxing braced himself against the sofa and kept a perfectly straight face. His voice was clear and calm. "Yes, I like you. I like you very, very much."

At the start of their first year of high school, Zheng Jinxing's name naturally became the talk of the teachers' office.

Although he hadn't ranked especially high on the placement exam, he had earned a perfect score on the physics test, which was quite rare.

Even more eagle-eyed teachers noticed that his scratch paper was filled with correct solution steps, while the answers on his answer sheet were wrong.

What's more, the handwriting on the scratch paper and the test looked nothing alike. One was bold and free, the other neat and delicate, prompting all sorts of speculation among the teachers.

Before the teachers could reach a verdict, the chemistry test was graded too, and another perfect paper came in, this one from a girl named Luo Shi.

The office erupted again.

-

1v1, happy ending, two strong leads, childhood friends, well-matched families, evenly matched, sweet everyday romance, slow-blooming heroine.

Everyday life + school life (fictional setting, don't overthink it).

Energetic little sunshine x secretly affectionate, loyal and devoted / keeps strangers at a distance.

Moving In with My Nemesis [Reunion After Years Apart]

[Launching in March]

Xia Muchao and Ji Xu, once bitter rivals, reunite after three years apart, at the same high school and even under the same roof.

Ever since elementary school, Xia Muchao had been Ji Xu's boss, threatening and ordering him around with all sorts of demands. Even on the day they transferred schools, Xia Muchao never once apologized to him.

Then the tables turned. Xia Muchao was living under someone else's roof, so she decided to apologize to Ji Xu.

Ji Xu replied casually, "Oh? What if I don't want to accept your apology?"

Xia Muchao: ...

Xia Muchao: "Fine. Accept it or don't."

If he hated her, she'd just try to see him less, so they wouldn't get sick of the sight of each other.

After all, two people under the same roof could still be like parallel lines, never crossing.

*

After that, Xia Muchao insisted on doing everything alone, whether going to school, coming home, or anything else.

But Ji Xu still managed to seep into every little corner of her daily life without her noticing.

She seriously suspected he was deliberately showing up in front of her to annoy her.

Whenever they clashed, he could always find a reason she couldn't argue with.

"If it weren't for my mom, I wouldn't bother with you."

"Please, Xia, maintain a civil relationship with me when necessary, all right?"

"It was just something I did along the way. What are you thinking?"

As irritating as he was, Ji Xu never used his position as the homeowner to force or threaten her. He hardly ever brought up their old history, either.

*

Later, during the midsummer after the college entrance exams, the heat outside the window grew, and restlessness seemed to go on forever.

Behind the door, two hearts beat just as fiercely.

Ji Xu's eyes glimmered as he leaned over her, bracing himself against the door. "In five seconds, I'm going to kiss you. If you want to leave, you can go now."

Xia Muchao reached for the doorknob, but Ji Xu caught her hand.

The distance between them suddenly shrank. They were close enough to hear each other's breathing, yet neither dared meet the other's eyes.

"Five seconds are up."

*

"Their relationship was like an unsteady scale. One of them was bound to gain the upper hand, but every so often they found a delicate balance. Neither realized that the moments of balance were when their hearts began to stir."
