[Stealing Her Away | He Has a Secret Crush | Honest, Sweet Little Bunny x Brash, Cunning Big Bad Wolf]
Lin Ran is most afraid of Zhou Che, her second young master's friend.
She entered the Dou household as a child bride for the second young master when she was little. She has disliked Zhou Che for years, secretly cursing him to step in dog poop whenever he goes out.
After three years at war, he returned with the title "God of Slaughter." He was just as he had always been: his dark shadow looming over her, lazily scaring her from time to time. He was nothing but an old monster!
One night, red-eyed Lin Ran changed into a gorgeous outfit and, under enormous pressure, forced herself to climb into the second young master's bed.
Summoning her courage, she hugged him from behind and softly called him "Brother."
Only when his scorching kiss fell on her lips did she realize that the man before her wasn't the second young master. It was Zhou Che.
Help!!!
Why did it have to be this old monster?
Lin Ran shut her eyes and hurried to crawl away, but he grabbed the back of her neck and hauled her back like a little chick.
Trapping her in the corner of the bed, he gently wiped away her tears and asked, "Why are you crying? You're the one who ruined my innocence."

Everyone thought Zhou Che had no interest in romance.
No one knew that whenever he saw his friend's betrothed hiding behind him and clutching his arm in fear, he wanted to chop his friend's hand off.
One day, the second young master ran away from home and entrusted Lin Ran to Zhou Che. He agreed without hesitation.
He waited on her hand and foot, letting her use his shoulder as a step to mount her horse and teaching her how to drink.
That night, she called him "Brother" over and over until he was thoroughly worked up.
He never expected it to be a misunderstanding.
Looking at Lin Ran's tear-streaked face, he thought: Since the second young master can't take care of her properly, let me do it instead.
Later, outside the woods at sunset, Zhou Che kissed her again and again.
Hearing movement in the woods, he lightly nipped her shoulder and neck.
"Those are footsteps. He must have come looking for you."

Upcoming story, To My Immortal Brother:
[Sunny Princess with a Brother Complex x Dark Eunuch with a Sister Complex]
The year Princess Wen Huan was to choose a husband, she reunited with the brother who had raised her. Yet he stood among the palace eunuchs, fawning and obsequious, cold and distant.
She had only two thoughts:
How had her brother become a eunuch?
She had to find her immortal brother again.
She showed him the jade token proving his identity. He said, "Shen Huai'an died long ago. In this world, there is only An Fu."
Unable to suppress her longing for him, she ordered him to serve in her chambers, hung all over him, reeking of alcohol, and searched for his lips.
He remained unmoved until her eyes turned red from crying. Then he gently soothed her, helplessly: "Be good, little sister. Get some sleep. When you wake tomorrow, you'll still be the most honored princess. In the future, you'll have a consort worthy of you by your side."
She still wouldn't let him go, insisting, "But I was raised by you, Brother. I was born to be yours!"
-
The year he was separated from his younger sister, he told her, "Your brother will always be your brother. Once I pass the jinshi examination, I'll come find you in Chang'an."
Years later, when they reunited, he was a lowly eunuch unworthy of her. He watched the men who tried to approach her: a flirtatious entertainer, a young nobleman full of false sincerity, and a foreign prince with a foolish look on his face.
Later, the entertainer was frightened off, the young nobleman was strangled to death, and the foreign prince was tricked into leaving.
He was the one who had told her to keep her distance...
*One-on-one, both leads are each other's only love, happy ending, hero is a real eunuch, no blood relation
Premise: Break free from the shackles of feudalism and bravely pursue true love
Finally the joy comes after all the hardships, these pictures make me feel uncomfortable [melted]
He probably saw the painting Zhou Che painted for Lin Ran and asked him if he had painted recently.
Didn't I already know about the male and female protagonists when I went to Dou Xingzhi?
When a young couple talks about falling in love, it's really neither a matter of importance nor a matter of importance.
Very well written! Nowadays, the relationship between the male and female protagonists in most ancient romance novels is like "fast food" or stereotyped. However, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is greatly shaped to be natural and clear. The male protagonist is affectionate and responsible. The female protagonist gradually understands her own feelings and is not pretentious. The male and female protagonists are no longer lonely because they have each other. Many supporting characters in the novel are not background scenes but more real.
The relationship between the male and female protagonists comes naturally. The author's writing is very delicate and convincing. The male protagonist loves her so much. The female protagonist realizes that her feelings are not pretentious, but boldly chooses to go on together [Orange Candy]. I got it.
Finished spreading flowers! But I feel like the ending was a bit rushed 😚 But the young couple is very sweet.
Why does it stop here!
Alas, I hope men and women can be happy
Hey, I don't know what to say. The family and the country are in a dilemma.
