(Warm, resilient little sun × aloof, devoted ideal man) (School romance at first, then a sweet second-chance romance)
She first met Lin Yue'an one summer. She thought every girl should have a boy like him in her youth, so she secretly planted the seed of a crush in her heart. Slowly, it took root and blossomed. The summer after the college entrance exams, she summoned all her courage and confessed her feelings to him, but he left without a word. A villain had sabotaged them, and for all these years, he hadn't heard a thing about her.
Seven years later, Xu Niantang slowly woke up in bed and found a man sleeping beside her. Wait, what?! What on earth had she done to him last night? She'd planned to copy what they did in TV dramas, leave a wad of cash, and sneak away, but then she heard a familiar voice: “Miss Xu, don't you plan to take responsibility for me?”
Seeing the marks on his body, Xu Niantang blushed furiously. She wanted to slap herself. What a terrible thing to do!
Wait, didn't he dislike me? And now I'd taken his innocence, too. Xu Niantang felt worse and worse about what she'd done to him.
Then one day, Lin Yue'an got drunk and clung to Xu Niantang like a plaster. His burning breath brushed her neck as he murmured, sounding wronged and close to tears, “Niantang, I've been looking for you for so long. I've missed you every single day.”
Ever since Lin Yue'an moved in with Xu Niantang, he was always trying to get her attention.
After he got a cut from a knife, Lin Yue'an was terrified it would heal.
“Dr. Xu, what should I do? It's bleeding.”
During online company meetings at home, he always made sure Xu Niantang was there, deliberately letting her appear on camera.
“Mr. Lin, who is this?”
“My wife.”
