I Meet You in Summer

[Complete. Next novel: "The Day the Wind Blew"]

[The Little Prince of Shaved Ice vs. the Chosen Girl, a very quirky school story]

Cui Xiaoying had always lived freely and on her own terms, with no one to rein her in. Then, at seventeen, disaster struck and her family fell into ruin. From then on, she lived a miserable life, constantly scrambling to get by.

After the college entrance exams ended when she was nineteen, a bowl of piping-hot noodles and the torrential rain in Huiyuan brought her face-to-face with the demon she would consider the unluckiest thing in her life:

Xie Jiarong.

-

She liked being a wildflower, living without restraint, but, with no choice but to depend on someone else, she was forced to be a daisy.

Under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

After a series of twists and turns, Cui Xiaoying realized that the demon was always sneering at her. She ignored him and treated him like dirt.

She couldn't say how long they spent trying to rile each other up, but one day, she realized she'd developed some very strange feelings.

A lion dance and fireworks shot skyward, unstoppable; a fiery meteor streaked across the heavens, grand and magnificent.

She knew she had fallen for Xie Jiarong.

-

One day, tipsy and emboldened, she was picked up by the man, who was still dressed in black and radiating silent anger.

She put one hand on his shoulder, rose onto her toes, and asked, "Is your mood like this because you want to hug me,"

"or kiss me?"

-

She tried again and again, but the man still gave no sign.

She's a beautiful flower. Surely she can find some other piece of manure.

So she decided to give up.

Later, when a college boy her age confessed his love to her in a night of partying, Cui Xiaoying waved him off, declaring that she was done with love. Yet moments later, she went to check out the handsome guy on the sports field who was showing off his abs for a limited time.

Being rejected by the demon made her weep bitterly; when a sweet, innocent college boy confessed to her, she turned him down without a second thought; when there was a handsome guy to look at, she went straight over.

A gust of wind blew on the way back, and the demon pinned her in a corner against the wall. As a storm raged and dark clouds loomed, his scorching kiss landed before she could say a word.

After they parted, he still didn't let her go. Instead, he taunted her again: "Were you really in such a hurry to fall for someone else?"

"You like that?" he asked, referring to the guy with abs.

"What's the point of looking?" The man took her hand and slipped it beneath his clothes, still kissing her. "You can feel mine."
