Coming of Age
The day Jin Zhao reunited with Meng Yanxi, her students had just been egging her on in class, asking whether she had ever had a secret crush.
The wind flipped the pages of the book. Jin Zhao smiled faintly and nodded. “Yes. Tall and handsome. He looks cool and aloof, and his mouth is sharp enough that you’d worry he could poison himself just by licking his lips, but actually his heart is very warm, very soft. Aside from occasionally being a bit silly and having poor alcohol tolerance, he doesn’t really have any flaws. He even has exceptionally good luck.”
After class, she waited by the roadside for a DiDi. A black sedan stopped in front of her, unlocking with a “click.”
She was lowering her head to reply to a message and, without thinking, pulled open the door and sat inside.
The car drove off. At the same time, her phone rang, and the DiDi driver’s booming voice echoed in her ear: “You got into the wrong car! I’ve been honking like crazy behind you and you didn’t hear me? That’s a Maybach—over ten million! How did you dare?”
Jin Zhao froze in shock and was just about to confirm with the owner when the man who had been silent in the driver’s seat suddenly lifted his gaze.
Through the rearview mirror, Jin Zhao was caught completely off guard, meeting a pair of pitch-black peach-blossom eyes.
Jin Zhao: “……”
Help! She got into her secret crush’s Maybach by mistake!

Cold and stubborn scholarship student × blind golden boy
In the tenth year of not being able to see you, I finally had you.
The first time Lin Xun confessed to Shen Yu, he turned her down.
“Do you know what it feels like to live without light? Life is a bottomless pit. I don’t want you falling into it too.”
Later, this man who couldn’t see the light pulled her out of a different kind of abyss anyway, without hesitation. Kept her warm with whatever he had left.

After they got together, Lin Xun discovered that Shen Yu had kept a copy of her university class graduation photo for years, pressed to the bottom of a box. He’d believed it was the only picture of her he had.
He couldn’t see it, so he didn’t know: she’d been working a part-time shift that day and hadn’t made it to the photo.
She wasn’t in it.
She told him:
“Shen Yu, let’s take a photo that belongs to just the two of us. One with you and one with me.”
“What kind of photo?”
“An ID photo. Let’s get married.”
