A Male Mom's Care Diary

[Socially anxious, sweet and earnest girl 🥹 x sacrificial, motherly man 🥰]

After graduating from university, Jiang Qiao refused her parents' plan for her to return to her hometown. They cut off her living expenses completely, leaving her no choice but to make ends meet by working at a milk tea shop.

She had a naturally large appetite and was somewhat socially anxious, so she only ever dared to hide away and eat by herself.

During her lunch break one day, Jiang Qiao was eating alone in a secret spot behind the mall when she happened to look up and see a man in a suit quietly watching her through the window.

His gaze was restrained, his aura icy, and his whole bearing radiated an intimidating sense of keep-away.

He watched her silently for a moment, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Jiang Qiao sat frozen, feeling awkward and bewildered.

What she hadn't expected was that not long afterward, the man moved in next door and became her neighbor.

Because of their awkward first encounter, Jiang Qiao had intended to keep to herself and leave him alone. But one day, she suddenly had a bout of low blood sugar and became dizzy and weak. The man happened to pass by and unhesitatingly gave her the corn and pork rib soup he'd just made.

As they crossed paths more and more, the two gradually grew familiar.

Jiang Qiao discovered that this man, who seemed cold and difficult to approach, was exceptionally skilled at cooking.

He told her frankly that he loved cooking, but always made too much for one person and hated wasting food. Then he took the opportunity to invite her to share meals with him.

Jiang Qiao was delighted, and immediately agreed.

As time went by, Jiang Qiao increasingly realized that the man could do just about anything. Whether it was everyday chores or problems at work, whenever she ran into trouble, he always appeared in time and took care of it for her.

Later, the man took the initiative and confessed his feelings to Jiang Qiao.

Once they were together, Jiang Qiao thought she'd met the man meant for her. He had an incredible physique, was gentle yet commanding, took full charge of all her little concerns, and cared for her down to the smallest detail.

He remembered every preference she mentioned in passing, noticed the slightest change in her mood right away, and took care of all the big and small details of daily life. His tender, thoughtful care left her completely spellbound.

Her only worry was that he was far too tense. He never let her go out alone, always keeping her so thoroughly protected that she sometimes felt a little short of breath.
