The hero has a crush on the heroine. The heroine is a doctor. The hero is a traffic policeman. The hero is really good at flirting. Summary: The two books are more daily.

    Check out these two books👀 Don't be fooled by the title of the first one, it's a bit like "Going to a Windy Place". The heroine Chen Man returns to her hometown to take care of her grandmother, and meets the hero Xu Junyang. She mainly writes about daily life and the hero's long-term love, and it is a realistic and sweet story. It is a short story that has been completed (I felt it was not enough after reading it👀). In the second book, as a single mother, Jiang Chunshui decided to experience the ups and downs of love before graduation. From young teachers to sports freshmen, Jiang Chunshui thought about it and decided to do something with a big ticket! So she focused on Song Mingqing, who was an outstanding alumnus who returned to school to give a speech. On a sunny afternoon, Jiang Chunshui stopped Song Mingqing with determination and guilt. Unexpectedly, after listening to her calm confession, that person replied to her, "Let's try it." The novel here is purely sweet and non-abusive, there is no third party, it is purely a sweet novel. --For Jiang Chunshui, Song Mingqing was the target she targeted and successfully won. --For Song Mingqing, Jiang Chunshui was the girl he had secretly loved for a long time.
