Burning Tides

[A tsundere, beautiful but tragic big brother VS a soft and adorable girl who throws punches for love]

That night, Jiang Meng cried and threw a tantrum, pressing the soles of her feet against the man’s stubble...

He Xingzhou was nearly played to death. His eyes were bloodshot, but he held back and demanded, "I want you to make it official."

-

That year, Jiang Meng picked up an art scraper and cut her adoptive uncle’s mouth.

From then on, she ended her adoption by her adoptive mother and returned to a remote fishing village in the south.

Here, she met again the boy who had snatched her rabbit doll all those years ago.

The once brilliant mural artist had stood in the halls of art with a paintbrush in hand, winning an international competition.

Now...

His hands were constantly soaked in seawater, and his body carried the briny smell of the sea that would never wash away.

But Jiang Meng felt at ease.

-

The day they met, He Xingzhou had just come out of the shower when a young girl got an eyeful of him.

He snapped at her, "Which vocational school are you from? How dare you sneak in with a copied key and spy on me?"

Then he slammed the door shut.

His good buddy envied him for having a little shadow following him around.

He scoffed. "You want this kind of luck?"

-

Until, little by little, she began to invade his life.

On the day Jiang Meng got engaged, He Xingzhou cornered her from behind. His eyes were red, his voice hoarse:

"Didn't you say we’d be together forever? Look at me."

"Open your eyes."
