A Trial Dating Contract for a 99-Cent Balloon Allergy Romance

[Sweet-and-spicy, high-maintenance college girl X aloof, fatherly college professor]

[Try dating before falling in love | Older man (10-year age gap) | Sweet and spicy]

Lin Chu had a crush on one of her professors for two years, pursuing him relentlessly but never winning his heart.

After an accident brings them together, they sleep together, only to end up in the ER because of an “allergic reaction.”

When Lin Chu insists that he take responsibility, Qi Qi proposes a contract: “Try dating for a month.”

Lin Chu thinks that sincerity can be repaid with sincerity, but she discovers that the very night Qi Qi signed the contract, he applied to attend an academic conference organized by his first love.

She decides to quietly leave his life, but he keeps chasing after her. “The trial period isn't over yet, and you don't have the right to end it unilaterally.”

Lin Chu is so exasperated she could laugh. She assumes he's just talking nonsense.

Bonus scene:

Old Qi hugs the furious little fox. “Give me one chance.”

“Why should I?” Lin Chu can hardly believe how ridiculous the request is.

“Because I gave you a chance to sleep with me.”
