[Marriage Before Love] (Both leads are sexually inexperienced; secret crush becomes mutual)
*During the brief time they spent together over the summer vacation of their sophomore year of high school, the little mole beside Nan Yunchu’s eye, ringed with red, sank deep into her memory, hidden away. She never imagined they would meet again.
*Su Xianzhu loves teasing Nan Yunchu. She’s sweet and soft, and blushes easily. Though her features look cool and aloof, once you get to know her, she’s like a soft, cuddly kitten.
*Su Xianzhu stared at the operating room with bloodshot eyes, his voice trembling, almost pleading: “I’m begging you, please don’t leave me. Why? Why am I a doctor, yet I can’t save you?”
*Watching Su Xianzhu sleeping, Nan Yunchu gently poked his cheek and muttered under her breath, “Su Xianzhu, you’re so hard to comfort. You’re much sweeter when you’re asleep.”
*
*Nan Yunchu: “I’m grateful to the heavens for letting me meet you.”
Su Xianzhu: “I’m the one blessed by heaven to have married you.”
(A little healing and just a touch of angst.)
(You can start from Chapter 10. The pacing may be a little slow before then.)
Very nice short story
