[Fire Sign Woman VS Fire Sign Man | They Start Kissing at the Drop of a Hat | Reunited from the Very First Chapter]

Jiang Li, who quit her job and started a business without telling her family, runs into Luo Xu again on a freezing night in Beicheng.

The last time they met was fifteen years ago.

He said he would tell her before he left, but when she woke up, he was gone.

After all these years apart, Jiang Li can't even bring herself to say hello.

Now back in her life, Luo Xu has become a renowned expert in the restoration of historic architecture.

But to Jiang Li, he's nothing more than a male nanny with eight-pack abs and 40-centimeter arms.

He needs the Jiang family's help, so that's only fair.

But the Jiang family falls with Beicheng's blizzards, and Jiang Li is about to leave too.

Luo Xu pulls her into his arms, his eyes red as he demands, "Jiangjiang, what are we?"

Jiang Li: "Friends with benefits."

As she speaks, she shoves him away and plunges into the crowds on the street, vanishing without a trace.

Later, he pins her in a corner, traps her by the table, presses her into the sofa...

Luo Xu opens her shirt, revealing clearly defined abs and a V-line, then guides her with his large hands, inch by inch, toward the burning edge.

Luo Xu: "When are you going to make me official?"

Both leads are each other's first. One-on-one romance. While they were apart, the heroine had romantic experiences, but no physical intimacy.

A landscape cake designer who keeps losing ground VS a historic architecture restorer who makes his move without hesitation

A soft-hearted, fiery-tempered calico cat VS a scheming, competitive tabby

A young, innocent crush ferments over fifteen years into a bittersweet, tangled relationship.

The bonus chapters will be fairly long. They tell the story of the leads' summer vacation that year. They won't fall in love as minors; it's just a quiet fondness.

Reading guide:

1. Slow burn, slice of life. Daily updates begin in November and continue until completion.

2. The story has some niche romance subplots for supporting characters. Feel free to skip them if they make you uncomfortable.

3. The author knows that in some cases a colon should come before quotation marks, but once I start typing, sparks fly and lightning flashes. Commas clearly suit passionate writing better. Please forgive me.

Theme: Good things take patience.
