My Annoying Childhood Friend Turned Out to Be My Boss

Blurb:

Duan Li was cold by nature and indifferent to everything. The only thing she was passionate about was her work. Her life followed the same three-point route every day: company, home, subway. She never missed a day.

Then the childhood friend who had once given her the biggest headache suddenly showed up as her boss.

Duan Li was convinced she was hallucinating from working too much overtime.

This childhood friend had been spoiled since she was little. Whatever Li Zhihui wanted, she got.

Even becoming friends with Duan Li had been easy. After all, Li Zhihui's family had plenty of money.

At first, Duan Li thought Li Zhihui was adorable, all small and cute. But as they grew older, Duan Li gradually understood how things worked, and finally realized she was nothing more than the rich young lady's plaything.

Duan Li resolutely chose to smother her feelings for Li Zhihui before they could grow.

After that, she never dared to give Li Zhihui her heart again.

Back then, Duan Li never could have imagined that Li Zhihui would turn her life upside down once more.

Not only did Li Zhihui pick on her at work, she also kept sending her a barrage of useless messages after hours.

Duan Li ought to have hated her even more for acting like this. But reason and emotion always pulled her in opposite directions. The more she told herself what she believed to be the truth, the less she could hold back the feelings surging inside her.

On top of that, Li Zhihui had gotten used to pushing her luck. Every time Duan Li gave an inch, Li Zhihui clung to her twice as hard.

The most outrageous thing she did was drag Duan Li into a small office cubicle during work hours and gently kiss her on the lips.

Duan Li's mind told her she should break free. But her body couldn't reject the kiss.

Coming soon: After the Breakup, My Senior with Touch Starvation Regrets Everything

Cheng Yue fell in love at first sight with her cool, refined senior.

At a club gathering, Senior Jiang Ranyi turned down everyone's advances, but sat down beside Cheng Yue, who was curled up in a corner.

Amid the noisy room, Cheng Yue heard Jiang Ranyi's cool voice beside her ear. "Cheng Yue, would you like to date your senior?"

With her senior's soft body beside her and the scent of cedar lingering around her, Cheng Yue wondered if she was imagining things.

Later, she and Jiang Ranyi held hands and kissed countless times in the car, away from their classmates.

In the little apartment they shared, they huddled under one blanket, Cheng Yue held tightly in Jiang Ranyi's arms, their breaths growing heavier and heavier.

Nobody knew that the moon they all coveted had fallen into Cheng Yue's arms.

Jiang Ranyi was possessive and didn't like Cheng Yue getting too close to anyone else. She wouldn't even let Cheng Yue look at other people for too long.

Once her touch starvation had been soothed, she loved to whisper over and over into Cheng Yue's ear, "Only look at me. Only love me."

Their secret relationship lasted a year.

As Jiang Ranyi's graduation approached, Cheng Yue gathered every last bit of money she had and bought a pair of rings, hoping to build a future with her senior.

After the graduation ceremony, Cheng Yue went to look for her in the backstage lounge, only to accidentally overhear Jiang Ranyi talking with a friend.

"Now that you're graduating, what are you going to do about that little girlfriend of yours?"

Jiang Ranyi leaned against the wall, her voice as cool and indifferent as Cheng Yue had always known it to be.

"Break up."

"She's just a miracle cure for my touch starvation."

Cheng Yue understood at last.

So Jiang Ranyi had always treated her as medicine for her touch starvation, something she could simply toss aside once she was done with it.

Cheng Yue threw away the ring and blocked everything connected to Jiang Ranyi.

She no longer wanted a future with Jiang Ranyi.

*

Jiang Ranyi had only ever treated Cheng Yue as a way to ease her condition. She had never thought of taking their relationship any further.

Yet for a long time after they parted, Jiang Ranyi found it hard to adjust.

She assumed it was withdrawal from losing her miracle cure.

Then Jiang Ranyi met Cheng Yue again, and saw a beautiful stranger holding her former girlfriend's hand.

With a buzz, something snapped in Jiang Ranyi's mind.

Her skin flushed a faint pink. The familiar craving that had lain dormant for years suddenly erupted, raging once more: Cheng Yue is mine. She can't belong to anyone else.

Theme: Love life.
