Making Port [Entertainment Industry]

Reunion after years apart | Size difference | Mutual salvation

Strikingly beautiful actress × retired athlete

A sudden downpour left Wen Jiayue stranded by the sea with the rest of the film crew.

While they were taking shelter and chatting, an actor from the same cast asked what she thought of the place.

Wen Jiayue gazed at the immense curtain of rain in the distance and replied in a flat tone, "It's nothing special."

Whether she meant the place or the people there.

As soon as Wen Jiayue learned where the show would be filmed, she prayed she wouldn't run into him.

She'd been careful to avoid him for the past month, more cautious than ever.

But after that downpour, all her efforts went to waste.

After the rain stopped, the crew moved to a new location. The prop truck broke down, and he was the mechanic the staff had called to help.

His neat American-style brush-up and the simplest black tank top showed off his unrestrained, wild charisma.

Once the truck was fixed, he went straight to Wen Jiayue's van.

He curled his finger and tapped on the window. When it lowered, the person inside didn't look at him.

Yan Ming wasn't bothered. He leaned halfway against the car and spoke, his voice low and roughened by the sea breeze. "How long are you going to keep avoiding me?"

Wen Jiayue slowly turned to meet his gaze, her expression calm as she retorted, "Aren't you avoiding me too?"

Yan Ming smiled helplessly, his tone indulgent. "Sure am. I've avoided you all the way to your doorstep."

They'd known each other since they were young, and had gone through the past neither of them wanted to look back on.

But this reunion, after so many years apart, was between the adults they'd become.

Note:

#: One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending.

#: Neither lead is based on a real person.

#: A short story focused mainly on the romance.

Proud little princess × Fake-insecure, genuinely obsessive knight

Childhood sweethearts | He has a secret crush | Possessive pursuit

[The eyes of the one you love are a whirlpool that can drown you.]

The little princess of the Liang family had fallen in love.

The young men of Yucheng's social circle were all guessing who he was.

Who could have caught the eye of their little princess?

Liang Yanxin, eldest daughter of the Liang family of Yucheng, a true young lady of an old and prestigious family.

She grew up surrounded by the doting love of her elders, developing a pampered nature and a famously exacting eye.

And this was the girl Chi Xu had kept in his heart for years.

Because of their families' ties, they saw each other almost every year, except for the two years Chi Xu spent abroad.

During the Spring Festival, on a neon-lit street in a foreign land, Chi Xu saw her appear unexpectedly. He knew that even if she simply stood there and quietly looked his way, he would drown in the whirlpool formed by her eyes.

As he walked closer, Liang Yanxin blinked and asked, "Are you happy I came?"

Chi Xu nodded.

Beneath his calm expression, he was desperately suppressing the tumult of his love.

Later, on another street in a foreign country,

Chi Xu asked the girl smiling at him with her arm linked through her boyfriend's, "Are you happy I came?"

Liang Yanxin nodded. "Of course we're happy you came, big brother."

That single "we" completely shattered the good-big-brother act Chi Xu had kept up for years around her.

That same night, in Liang Yanxin's apartment, he said to the person slumped across his lap, "Little princess, no girl sits on her brother's lap like this and pants."

Note:

Both leads are sexually inexperienced; happy ending.

Neither lead is perfect. The heroine is proud and a little temperamental, while the hero grows dark and obsessive later on. He's very much my type, and I'll put my all into writing him!
