[Gentle, refined, celibate professor + mature, pampering romance + tender push and pull + mutual devotion]
When historical research for her new book stalled, Xu Zhiyu casually posted a question on social media. To her surprise, an anonymous user with an impressive breadth of knowledge patiently helped her out.
She thought she’d found nothing more than an online pen pal she’d briefly crossed paths with. Then, at a meal with friends at a restaurant off campus, she met Luo Shuheng, a distinguished older man with a gentle, scholarly air.
The mature, reserved 33-year-old professor fell for her at first sight. Regretting that he couldn’t figure out how old she was, he could only keep his feelings to himself.
She thought their connection would end there, but by chance, she wound up on his campus, sitting in the audience at one of his public lectures.
Luo Shuheng looked at her familiar smiling face in the crowd, amusement welling in his eyes. This wasn’t some fated encounter that had fallen from the sky. He had planned every step and actively pursued the destiny he wanted.
Once he was sure of his feelings, the cool, refined professor cast off all restraint and became a clingy older husband, pampering her to no end.
If she didn’t ask him to bring her a glass of warm water before bed, he would wrap his arms around her and pout:
“Baby, you didn’t ask me to get you water tonight. Does that mean you don’t love me anymore?”
A mature couple, tenderly devoted to each other. Love at first sight, carefully planned all along. A sweet story with no angst, from their first meeting to every day they spend together. The refined gentleman gives all his affection to the one he loves.
