I'll Take the Bait

Blurb:

When they first met at eighteen, Zhong Shu considered asking Chen Yu:

"First time playing?"

"You don't look like you can take much. Haven't you played before?"

Chen Yu proved his skills and asked, full of youthful confidence: "Which of us is the one who can't take it?"

When they broke up, Chen Yu was like a stray dog. "You win. I can't beat you. I can't take it, I can't handle it. I admit defeat."

When they unexpectedly met again ten years later, Chen Yu thought, it's just a game. This time, who comes out on top is anyone's guess.

Sweet husband x queenly older woman

Older woman/younger man, three-year age gap, rekindled love after a breakup.

Short story.

Mostly from the male lead's point of view.

A bit melodramatic, too. Just enjoy the ride.

For my other subscription stories, see the [Subscription Treats] column:

"Orange Wedding": bittersweet, sweet and sour / divorced husband pursues his wife

"Listen, Listen, That Was the Sound Back Then": childhood friends, tragic ending

"Mint Chocolate": bittersweet, sweet and sour / rekindled love / husband pursues his wife

This is the story of the second male lead from the previous short story, "Mint Chocolate."

I'll add it to the subscription lineup when I get the chance. Thanks for your support.
