Older woman-younger man romance · Mutual healing
Warm, sunny big sis x proud, gloomy puppy
Controlling big sis x devoted puppy who always comes running back, no matter how far he runs
The three things that make the New Year miserable for any adult returning home: obnoxious relatives, elders pushing you to marry, and suffocating concern.
Tao Juan is no exception.
At a banquet, an annoying relative exposes the fact that she and her boyfriend broke up ages ago. Her whole family immediately mobilizes their connections to find her a well-rounded blind date.
Reluctantly, Tao Juan goes to a cafe in Bin City. Her family wasn't lying: the man is tall and handsome, an overseas returnee and an elite professional, and even a fellow alumnus.
Since she's already here, she might as well treat it as a small alumni reunion.
As they reminisce about college, she thinks of the boy who used to sit with her on the stairs and eat ice cream. Suddenly, she has a vision: the shy boy has become a mature man, walking through the crowd toward her, one step at a time.
She stares blankly at the vision before her. Noticing her strange expression, her fellow alumnus turns around and exclaims with delight, "Gu Qingze! What a coincidence! What are you doing in Bin City?"
Gu Qingze's hand clenches into a fist in his pocket.
He steadies his breathing, trying not to show anything is wrong. "Yeah, what a coincidence."
He tells himself not to lose his composure! But his eyes won't obey, and he can't look away from Tao Juan.
Then he hears himself ask, unable to hold back, "Did you and Zhou Ce break up?"
Anyone could tell there was history between them, and their fellow alumnus isn't stupid. But this is his first time dealing with such an awkward situation, so he tries to smooth things over. "How long has it been since you two last met?"
Tao Juan regains her composure. She smiles politely. "He blocked me ten years ago."
Tao Juan doesn't know that after Gu Qingze broke things off and left, it took him ten years to work his way back to her, step by step.
She also doesn't know that this is the eleventh year Gu Qingze has been secretly in love with her.
One-line summary: The puppy my ex-boyfriend chased away comes running back to me ten years later
Tao Juan: Gu Qingze, why do you never call me big sis?
Gu Qingze: I just like calling you by your full name.
Then one day, a gale howls outside and cold rain patters against the window. By the warm glow of the indoor fireplace, Tao Juan holds Gu Qingze close and sets him ablaze with want, whispering in his ear, "Call me big sis."
His restraint and self-control are crushed by this wicked big sis. Trembling, he begs in a low voice, "Big sis."
"That's a good boy." After saying this, Tao Juan thinks, I've become bad.
She doesn't know she'll become even worse.
A younger man who won't call her big sis, with a bit of a wild streak.
But that's fine. Big Sis knows how to "discipline" her puppy.
Scheming devotion · Secret love comes true · Mutual healing

If these elements aren't to your taste, we recommend moving on. Thank you for respecting our preferences.
Theme: Good love helps people grow together
Although love will still be sweet later on, in terms of senses, this day is indeed the most profound, the most dizzy in the first month, the most addictive in the first half of the year, and the most novel in the first year, because many common firsts happened in the first year.
Oh my God, the baggage is half shaking, I seem to have guessed something. Isn't it possible that something was wrong in the previous chapter, and now the motive is explained in this chapter, it is unexpected but also reasonable 🥺 The boss is about to lose in the battle for the successor, so an accident is caused to show the restlessness in the second son's backyard. Xiao Gu is the chosen victim, the easiest and most convincing victim for the boss. People can be so inhumane for huge benefits! Nothing seems right and it seems very possible😱
Come on, dear author, I haven't read your article for a long time. It seems like I have read your entire book for the first time. It is much better than before. What a great story! Looking forward to your new article
I don't understand why I suddenly went on a blind date and arranged work for someone like a hangover hostage. Did I miss it? I don't understand why?
This book is really a bit cold
The author paused for a longer time, but this book has better writing skills. I saw many wonderful transitions to connect the plot; the relationship between the two people is also very natural and smooth, the logic of the whole story is smooth, and the characters have their own memory points. Although there are many people, you can quickly tell who is who. It feels like this is really going through life and settling in. Congratulations! I also wish you happiness every day!
I read it in one go after gaining weight! Happy to eat fine chaff again😃! To be honest, I thought the progress bar was too slow when we didn't meet each other in the first ten chapters, but when we met, it was so over the top 🤩 🤩 🤩 😍
Looking at it now, even though I know that Zhang Xiuzhong's plot design is to assist, this person is still very unpleasant, and I feel like he is everywhere.
This book is a bit short. Will there be any extras in the qwq?
Is it over so soon?!
