The first time she saw Jiang Yu was on a long, rainy night.

The boy wore a white T-shirt, rainwater sliding down his smooth skin. Her gaze traveled up from the damp hem to his lean, sharply defined face, and her heartbeat suddenly went haywire.

After some "accidental" inquiries, she discovered that he was her classmate.

With him so close at hand, all those fancy terms she'd learned before, like "made for each other," "a talented man and a beautiful woman," "a match made in heaven," and "a perfect couple," crashed into her mind like towering waves and boulders.

After spending some time with him, she learned that he was taciturn, academically outstanding, melancholy, and handsome... He was practically her ideal type.

She didn't consider herself a "confident" person, so she could only rely on the heartfelt advice of her always blunt friend to figure out what to do next.

Her friend said, "You're perfect for each other."

"If anything, he's the one who's not quite good enough for you."

Wait, something's not right. Why did she keep feeling like this guy was secretly trying to seduce her, despite that cool, aloof face?

Jiang Yu: Seduced his wife, then played the victim to secure his place in her life

Excerpt

1.

At 9:30 p.m., Jiang Yu got home after his tutoring session and took out his phone, only to see a message from someone.

He casually sent her a photo.

It showed a big orange cat sprawled on the sofa, legs akimbo, stretching out a paw.

The other person quickly showed "typing," but then, as if sulking, took three minutes to reply.

Gu Shi: Aww, so cute.

Jiang Yu's lips almost immediately curved into a smile. He could practically imagine the way the girl would say those words.

But his smile soon faded. He remembered what had happened on the Ferris wheel that day. Did she not like him after all?

The boy lowered his eyes, scooped the chubby orange cat into his arms, and sent another photo. This time, the frame also caught a glimpse of his long-fingered hand and half of his slender shoulder.

[How to handle a gentle childhood friend whose possessiveness grows stronger as you grow up]

The first time Lin Chu saw Sheng Jing, he was still a tiny, exquisitely pretty little boy, sitting sickly in a wheelchair. Having listened to the children's version of Dream of the Red Chamber since she was little, she immediately rushed over, hugged him, and yelled, "I want this little sister!"

The sky fell!!!

This wasn't a little sister, or even a little brother.

After gaining an older brother, Lin Chu felt dejected for a few days. But soon, since her "brother" was so handsome, she decided to go play with Sheng Jing.

Since Brother Sheng hadn't learned to walk yet, he wasn't too keen on playing hide-and-seek with her. But he'd play all the other games with her and even give her tasty snacks.

Having an older brother is great.

Sheng Jing is so slow. I'm about to start kindergarten, and he still hasn't learned to walk.

Everyone has things they're not good at. If learning to walk is really too hard for him, then it's fine if he can't walk.

Sheng Jing finally learned to walk. Everyone else wanted to play with him, but he only played with me.

On her twelfth birthday, Lin Chu secretly vowed: I really want to stay with Sheng Jing forever.

Why is Sheng Jing getting more and more possessive... Sob, I like little Sheng Jing even more.

-

Sheng Jing spent seventeen years by Lin Chu's side as her neighbor and older brother. Maybe he could stay with her for another seventy years.

As someone the law would allow him to be.

-Lin Chu is committed to being single because she can't stand sharing her space with anyone else.

Except Sheng Jing.

He belongs to Lin Chu already.

-Sheng Jing knows Lin Chu's likes and dislikes inside out, but he still can't be sure: does she like him?
