A lonely mouse needs a romance with a repairman who comes to call.

Bittersweet-sweet romance / size difference / food / childhood friends reunited after years apart

A new neighbor moved in across from Shanshan Cha's home. Apparently, he was a repairman.

The new neighbor was 1.9 meters tall, with solid, sculpted muscles and a rugged, masculine face. He was taciturn, but even more tempting than the male lead in the women's series The Repairman and His Wife, which she loved watching.

Shanshan Cha fell in love with her new neighbor at first sight and invited him over to fix things. He didn't charge for repairs. All he asked was for a bowl of food she had made.

One day, as she watched the man across the dining table shovel down his food, she cautiously asked, "Mr. Repairman, have we... met before?"

Late at night.

The repairman neighbor's kisses fell all over her. "Shanshan, when you say before, do you mean a few days ago, or a few years ago?"

Shanshan Cha's gaze went unfocused. In her daze, the frail boy in her memories seemed to overlap with the massive, muscular man before her.

"...Li... Little Bean?"

Liang Qiu Li took her chin in his hand and murmured against her ear, "Shanshan, take a good look, then say it again. Am I little?"

A little scene:

When they were children, Liang Qiu Li had been cared for by his neighbor, who had even given him meals.

When they met again, the girl next door had become a married woman. She didn't recognize him, but treated him as warmly as ever.

He reminded himself to keep his distance, but her husband left her alone at home and failed to fulfill even the smallest part of his duties.

He couldn't control his feelings, and gradually fell for her.

One day, emboldened by alcohol, he asked her with red-rimmed eyes, "If he treats you like this, would you divorce him?"

Thinking he shared her tastes, she tentatively replied, "Divorce? I will?"

In an instant, the world spun. He leaned over her, and a fierce kiss swept across her lips and teeth. He stole her breath; her heart pounded wildly until even breathing became difficult.

Finally, she pushed him away with all her strength. "I'm not getting divorced! I'm not!"

Later, he gazed at her, unable to restrain himself, and said hoarsely, "Shanshan, divorce doesn't count as a safeword."

Misunderstandings between two virgins.

The camellia symbolizes ideal love.

The childhood friend and the new arrival are the same person.

Important:

* About the heroine's name, Shanshan Cha: Her family is warm and loving. Both her parents' surname is Shan. Camellias were in bloom when she was born, and the flower was also the token of her parents' love. White camellias symbolize loveliness, ideal love, and pure, flawless love.

* The hero's original surname was Qiu, and his original name was Qiu Li. After his parents divorced, he went with his mother, whose surname is Liang.

* Written in a burst of inspiration over my tastes, specifically repairman x married woman.

* The heroine has experienced mild psychological trauma. As a child she was extroverted, but as an adult she became an introvert. She stutters a little at the beginning, but gradually gets better.

Reading guide:

1. Both leads are virgins.

2. Three-year age gap. The hero changed a lot as he grew up, so the heroine didn't recognize him right away.

My next book will be Reborn as My Brother's Baby Doll.

I'm drafting it now. I'll start posting once I've finished the detailed outline.

Gravity-powered older brother x naive younger sister

Time-travel elements

I died on a rainy night. No one knew how I died, not even me.

When I woke up, I was lying in a bed beneath a soft little blanket. But I couldn't move very well.

At least I wasn't hungry or thirsty. The surroundings were familiar, but I couldn't remember anything...

I don't know how much time passed before a figure appeared. So familiar, yet so strange.

It was my older brother.

How... had he become like this? What had happened to the elegant young man I remembered?

Why was he so gloomy now? Behind those pale lenses, his eyes gleamed with cruelty.

His body and hands were smeared with bright red blood.

He lay down beside me and stroked my head with his freshly washed hand. His eyes red, he asked hoarsely, "Beibei, she's not dead yet, is she?"

Only then did I realize that I had become the baby doll I had given my brother years ago.

I wanted so badly to say: Brother, I died. You must be happy, right? But I was only a baby doll and couldn't speak.

Wait, why could I suddenly feel things? And why could I... smell the lovely sandalwood scent on my brother's hand?

That night, I was horrified to discover that my brother was holding me, now a baby doll, and doing that sort of thing while calling my name...

But after I accidentally fell asleep in his wardrobe years ago, my brother had started to hate me.

Bei Li didn't know.

While she slept, her brother traced her lips again and again, just as he had that day in the wardrobe.

He had clearly been excited.

tips:

1. The blurb is in first person; the novel itself is in third person.

2. The siblings are five years apart, with no blood relation or legal relationship. They both grew up in a shelter.

3. Both are virgins; they have no romantic relationship before adulthood.
