After I Played the Cold Doctor

A shrewd, composed older woman and a younger woman who thinks she's gone too far

[Blurb:]

Shi Ran has only done one thing she feels guilty about in her life:

During her junior year, she relentlessly pursued the beautiful dentist who treated her teeth until the woman agreed to date her. The night she had her last wisdom tooth removed, Shi Ran deleted her contact information.

She couldn't help it. She had been terrified of dentists since childhood, and her legs went weak and her head spun as soon as she entered a clinic.

But it was different when the dentist became her girlfriend. A girlfriend wouldn't hurt her, right?

Though she felt guilty, thinking about the six-figure compensation she had transferred to the woman for emotional damages put Shi Ran at ease again.

A few days after moving into her new home, a new neighbor moved in across the hall.

Shi Ran never saw her, but she received desserts and a note left outside her door.

"Sorry, my cat hasn't been spayed yet, and she's in heat right now, so she might disturb you. Please accept these desserts as an apology."

The handwriting was beautiful, and Shi Ran couldn't remember where she'd seen it before.

She accepted the desserts, added a note saying, "No worries, thanks for the cake," and stuck it back on the neighbor's door.

For the next week, Shi Ran came home to find a different dessert waiting for her each day.

From tiramisu to apple pie to chiffon cake, almost all of them were her favorites.

She guessed the neighbor must be a highly skilled pastry chef.

Until one evening.

On a whim, Shi Ran decided to go for a walk. At the same time, the door across the hall opened. A woman in loungewear stood there, holding the day's freshly baked blueberry egg tarts.

She was beautiful and aloof, exactly the kind of older woman lesbians adore.

Unfortunately, she was none other than Shi Ran's beautiful ex-wife, the dentist.

Wen Jianxi calmly watched the young woman panic and try to shut the door, then asked softly, "I fixed your teeth and pulled your wisdom teeth, and then you turned around and ran away?"

"N-neighbor... little sister?"

The door slammed shut.

Holding the egg tarts that had been forced into her arms, Shi Ran took a fierce bite, bristling with anger. This woman was so devious.

The wicked dentist had clearly come to drum up business, deliberately trying to give her cavities!

Wen Jianxi had no idea what Shi Ran was thinking.

She was just wondering when she might finally get a taste of the pretty cake across the hall, after bringing her cakes for so long.

If she'd known the girl would run away so fast, she shouldn't have held back back then.
