[Veterinary male protagonist Ji Huai × lonely illustration female protagonist Lin Xi]
Copywriting:
On a rainy day when the landlord broke the contract, Lin Xi rushed into the hospital holding a stressed rice cake.
While examining the cat, Ji Huai learned during the consultation that her search for a house was fruitless, so he offered to share the house: he had a vacant room with a south-facing balcony, close to the library she often visited, and the rent was cheap.
Lin Xi refused on the spot, reasoning: "I'm not used to living with strangers."
The next night, Nian Gao took advantage of the chaos of packing her luggage to sneak out and squatted at the door of the hospital with great precision.
Ji Huai held the cat and stood under the street lamp, smiling like a successful traitor: "It seems to like bean buns. Come sit here? The cat needs to be observed, and you need a place to live."
After that, Lin Xi moved into the second bedroom with a balcony.
The days of sharing a house are like a pot of slowly simmering soup. Ji Huai is enthusiastic but does not cross the line, and Lin Xi is cold but no longer defensive. When she was working on a manuscript in the living room, he would put a glass of water on the coffee table that was just warm enough to drink. When he returns from the night shift, he will find a small lamp left in the entrance hall.
Even rice cakes "fall in love" with bean buns.
The two owners had to increase their communication and changed from pet guardians to guardians of each other's lives.
Lin Xi gradually discovered that this man who seemed to be always smiling was calm and decisive in the clinic and had sharp eyes in front of the operating table. And he also understood the softness and desire under her cold outer shell through her repeated silent resistances.
Ambiguity quietly took root in their company day after day, until Ji Huai's colleagues of the opposite sex appeared frequently, until Lin Xi's mother suddenly visited to urge the marriage, until Lin Xi chose to conceal and retreat under pressure, and the two fell into a stalemate.
After a camping trip and a rain, Ji Huai finally revealed the words he had hidden for a long time: "Lin Xi, I'm not kidding you. I can afford to wait, but you have to let me know whether I'm waiting for a door that will open or a wall."
Lin Xi looked at his soaked shoulders in the rain and suddenly understood that some warmth was not a burden, but a salvation.
After confirming their intentions, they faced the trivial realities of rent, work, and their original families together. Accompanied by Ji Huai, Lin Xi finally dared to say "no" to her mother, finally dared to sign her drawings with her real name, and finally dared to hold his hand on an ordinary evening.
