[Witty, outgoing female university professor × reserved, deep, slow-to-warm male screenwriter]
A short story, two capable leads who dote on each other, a secretly lovestruck hero, a straightforward heroine, and a heroine two years older than the hero.
Xia Zhenning never imagined she would meet such a “special” man on a blind date.
At a coffee shop
Xia Zhenning had barely finished introducing herself when the fairly good-looking man in front of her pulled out a stack of documents.
“Hello, my name is Song Jinchen. I’m twenty-eight, 187 centimeters tall, and weigh 75 kilos. I work out regularly and stay in good shape. Here are my birth details, my infectious disease screening results from a top-tier hospital, my no-criminal-record certificate, my liver and kidney test results, my education verification report, my social insurance payment records... I’m willing to marry into your family. I don’t mind whether we have children. If you want them, they can take your surname.”
After rattling off that long list, Song Jinchen’s palms were sweaty. He gazed nervously at Xia Zhenning like a puppy.
Xia Zhenning got married, not for love, but because they were a good match.
Song Jinchen married into her family! He was so in love that he wanted to tell the whole world!
After the wedding
Xia Zhenning pulled Song Jinchen into her arms and whispered, “If I hadn’t been the one you met on that blind date, would you have married into someone else’s family?”
Song Jinchen wrapped his arms around Xia Zhenning’s waist and said nothing. There would never be anyone else. It had always been her.
“A few days before the blind date, I saw your mom taking you to a matchmaking agency.”
From the moment Song Jinchen met Xia Zhenning, he knew he would love her until the end of his life.
At thirty, Xia Zhenning never expected that someone had been quietly in love with her for sixteen years before finally coming to her.
(The male lead is strong, but the female lead is even stronger.)
