[A fluffy, brainless sweet romance. It’s all about the sweetness]
[Bright and sunny, lively and carefree, occasionally silly and mischievous, a sweet-faced, dark-hearted little drama queen and ray of sunshine VS her steady, reserved, old-fashioned and gentle childhood neighbor, distant yet proper. Happy ending]

Qin Zhen turned bright red and tried to stagger away, but he reached around from behind and pulled her into his arms.
Unable to restrain himself, the man bent over her from behind and wrapped her in his arms, his eyes brimming with emotion. He rested his chin on her shoulder and brushed against her ear, his lips touching the sensitive spot beneath it as he asked in a languid voice:
