After I Tipped the Delivery Guy

[Career-minded heroine X a love-struck hero who talks himself into falling for her]

1.

After Cen Bei was laid off, she pinched every penny to get by.

One day, when she went to collect her food delivery, she saw that the delivery guy was incredibly handsome. On impulse, she tipped him five yuan.

Later, she found out he was actually a rich young heir trying out life as an ordinary person.

Unable to get over how unfair this was, Cen Bei wanted him to pay her back.

He looked at the single tip receipt on her phone, seeming lost in thought, then opened his WeChat QR code. “Add me.”

“...”

Cen Bei looked at him as if he were an idiot. “You don’t need to be friends to transfer money. Just give me your payment code.”

Cen Bei fell for him first, so Yun Lian absolutely couldn’t let her beat him to the confession.

He carefully planned his declaration, looking forward to seeing her surprised expression.

The day came.

Yun Lian dressed to suit Cen Bei’s tastes, wearing his most expensive watch and driving a limited-edition luxury car. “I know you’re a money-loving girl who likes handsome guys.”

Cen Bei: “What are you getting at?”

Yun Lian held out a bouquet of red roses bought at a wholesale market. “Well, as it happens, I’m a handsome, generous rich guy. Date me, and you’re guaranteed to come out ahead.”

Cen Bei was stunned for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, she handed him the wrapped bouquet. “Enough talk. It’s time to deliver the flowers.”

As they drove off in his luxury car to deliver flowers, Yun Lian wondered why things weren’t going the way he’d imagined.

My next book will be a road-trip story about not-quite-siblings, The Wind Across the Wilderness

1.

All of Xi Yao’s friends knew she liked to stalk a man online.

She checked his social media whenever she had a spare moment, learning his likes, his job, the course of his life, even his exam results from childhood onward.

A friend teased her: “Aren’t you afraid you’ll fall in love with him if you keep looking?”

Xi Yao: “No. He’s my brother.”

Her friend was curious. “How come I’ve never met him?”

Xi Yao thought to herself: Neither have I.

2.

On the first day of vacation, Xi Yao walked into Chen Lubei’s shop.

She said the person she loved most was getting married soon, and she wanted to go to Xinjiang and steal them away, but she was short on money and hoped to hitch a ride with them.

Later, when asked again, she said she wanted to go fly a kite on the grasslands.

Chen Lubei knew she never told the whole truth.

Xi Yao lay in bed, running her hand over the abs of the person beside her, and pouted. “Of course there is. You’ll always be my brother.”

Chen Lubei caught her wrist. “That’s another lie.”

3.

At blue hour in a small town in Xinjiang.

Xi Yao swung on a swing, the wind lifting her white gauzy skirt until it looked like snow on distant mountains.

Her tearful words, “I don’t have any family anymore,” shook Chen Lubei’s resolve.

He wanted to give her a safe, stable home.

Xi Yao sneered. “How could I marry the person I hate most in this life?”
