[Rugged boxer × sweet, delicate beauty + obsessive secret crush + age gap + indulgent romance + everyday life]
There are only two things Huo Tingxiao believes in: his fists and Tang Li.
He's the toughest guy at the boxing gym. A scar cuts through his brow, and one punch from him can snap a punching bag's chain. Everyone is afraid of him and steers clear.
Until one day, a young woman in a purple dress opens the door.
She's so small and fair, standing among a roomful of muscular men like a rabbit that has wandered into a wolf's den.
The first time Huo Tingxiao sees her, he takes half a step back, afraid of scaring her.
The second time, he remembers that she likes taro bubble tea.
The third time, he notices that she's put someone else's phone number on her trial-session form. He deletes it and replaces it with his own.
Tang Li thinks he's just a softhearted coach who isn't good with words.
He doesn't talk much, but he remembers every single thing she says.
She casually mentions that she's afraid of the dark, so he waits until she gets home every day before turning off the lights.
She laughs and says, "Coach Huo, you're not actually that scary," and he turns away so she won't see his ears go red.
She'll never know how many "coincidences" he arranged just to see her a little more.
Until one night, he corners her at the end of an alley.
The man's eyes are red, his voice hoarse as he says,
"Lili, why are you running?"
