Shen Niantong, the principal of the ballet company, never takes a curtain call after a performance. Everyone said she was aloof.
No one knew that there were three steel nails driven into her left ankle, and every time she stood on tiptoe, it was like stepping on the tip of a knife.
No one knew that she had a crush on trauma surgeon Gu Shen for six years.
Until her family forced her to get married, she carried a fruit basket to his department and slapped the premarital examination report on his desk: "Doctor Gu, it won't be a loss if you marry me."
Gu Shen was chewing an apple. He bit into half of it and looked up at her.
"Who are you?"
After the marriage, Shen Niantong discovered that this man always buttoned his shirts to the top button.
The Adam's apple loves to move.
For example, when she stood on tiptoe to pick up something, his Adam's apple rolled.
When she was dangling her bare legs in his white coat, he rolled again.
Later, she handed over the divorce papers, but he didn't accept it.
He took off his tie, unbuttoned three buttons, and his Adam's apple rolled for the third time.
"Shen Niantong, touch it."
