A sweet, socially anxious girl × a cool, chaste doctor
Su Nian never imagined that Lu Zhi, the aloof campus heartthrob she had secretly loved for ten years, would barge back into her life like this.
One is a social-anxiety behavior therapist at West Lake Cultural Plaza, capable of subduing a vicious dog with her bare hands, yet prone to stammering when someone meets her gaze.
The other is a cool, reserved surgeon at Guardian Animal Hospital, whose scalpel is precise and chilling, but who keeps plush toys hidden in his desk.
Ten years ago, she was the ugly duckling who hid in a corner, mocked as someone who could never measure up to the light. All she could do was tuck her love letter into a stray cat’s food bowl.
Ten years later, she is his specially appointed expert collaborator, and the two are forced to cross paths again and again between the operating room and the training grounds.
She thinks she has hidden her feelings well, unaware that Lu Zhi has always kept a blurry photo in his phone album: a girl feeding a cat in the rain, her eyes clear and bright, healing his entire gloomy high school years.
“Dr. Lu, um… about the plan for that stray dog…”
“Don’t panic.” Lu Zhi nudged his gold-rimmed glasses. The old silver bracelet on his left wrist glimmered beneath the lights, and his voice held an affection he didn’t even realize was there. “Take your time. I’m listening.”
