Dental Fillings Are Expensive, but Family Members Get Them Free

[The whole story is complete. My new story, Clear Skies, Safe Takeoffs and Landings, is now underway!] --- Blurb --- As the saying goes, "A toothache isn't an illness, but when it hurts, you'd sooner die." Sheng Xin is a chatterbox, and now he has a cavity. The pain is so bad he doesn't even want to talk, and he finally understands. But the dentist in front of him, dressed in a white coat and wearing a mask that covers all but half his face, seems far too handsome. So, on a whim... Sheng Xin: Doctor, are you... single? Dr. Zhou doesn't react. He picks up his tools: Open wide. Let me take a look at your teeth. The second time Sheng Xin comes to the dentist, he's holding one side of his face. It hurts, but he's absolutely delighted. He gets to see the handsome doctor again. How wonderful~ Sheng Xin: Oh, Dr. Zhou, what a coincidence. You're here again. I'm back. Dr. Zhou: Not a coincidence. Need a tooth pulled? Zhou Weili prefers mild flavors and doesn't like sweets, but his partner is hopelessly addicted to them. Zhou Weili: Brush your teeth after you eat. For at least ten minutes. Sheng Xin: I'm not brushing. It's a hassle. Zhou Weili: Then don't eat them. I'll have to treat your cavities. You should know, sweets Sheng Xin (pouncing on him, cutting him off): Are you going to lecture me, or do you want me? Dr. Zhou is silent for a moment, then sighs and decisively chooses the latter. - Fillings are expensive. For family members, double the price. - A friendly reminder from Dr. Zhou: Eat fewer sweets and brush your teeth often. Preventing cavities is everyone's responsibility~! Key Points: 1.

Go straight to it from my catalog! Sunny civil aviation pilot x cool, beautiful approach controller Jiang Ning is famous at Yucheng Airport's air traffic control center for making everyone keep their distance. His cool demeanor keeps people at arm's length. There's an unwritten rule at the center: you can offend the director, but never Jiang Ning, especially over his VHF radio! He was introverted as a child, and became even more withdrawn after his parents died. His life feels as though it's forever shrouded in dark, overcast skies: dull and uneventful, day after day. Then, on a stormy night, he meets someone over the VHF radio. This person makes eight hundred requests a minute, yet always speaks with a smile. Like a ray of warm sunshine, he forces his way through the heavy cumulonimbus clouds hanging over Jiang Ning's head and warms him without hesitation. Before meeting Jiang Ning in person, Wang Hengyu's impression of him is: aloof, stern, robotic, and lacking in human warmth. After meeting him: adorable, cute, handsome, and lovable! It takes him just one meal to convince himself to accept the fact that he's fallen in love with Jiang Ning at first sight. Wang Hengyu's approach is like a gentle spring rain, quietly nourishing everything, and like the blazing warmth of the summer sun. Jiang Ning has doubted and felt lost, until one gloomy morning, when he sees Wang Hengyu's flight squawk "A7700." Only then does he finally understand what it means to like someone. "You're the first person I've ever truly liked... I can't quite explain why, but I know very well that all my happiness and sadness come from you!" Even beneath the most overcast sky, a ray of sunshine can cross the vast river of stars, pass through the atmosphere, break through the clouds, and shine down with a warmth that reaches the heart. Wang Hengyu is his sun! [Plot Version] [Before they meet] Jiang Ning: That circle isn't round enough. Go around twice more. The guy being told his circles aren't round enough flies into a rage: What did he say? I was flying a J-20 at an air show before he even knew what he was doing! Coworker: He's handsome, a cool beauty! The guy who's just made an enemy and is petty enough to hold a grudge: Hah, I don't believe it! [After they meet] The guy is overcome with regret: I used to scoff at love at first sight. Now I'm in love at first sight! That grudge... I'll settle it next time! [When they meet again over the VHF] Jiang Ning: Eastern 556, delayed 15 minutes. Stand by for instructions, thank you. The guy, smiling brightly and without a complaint: Okay~ Roger! [After they get together] Jiang Ning sighs gloomily: I guess it's been too long, the spark has faded. You don't listen to me anymore! The guy, who's only half finished eating, jumps to his feet and slaps the bed: Have a little conscience! How am I not listening to you? I listen to you in the sky, then land and come home and still have to listen to you. You say hurry, I hurry. You say slow down, I slow down. Where are you going to find someone as cooperative as me?! Jiang Ning: ...That's not what I meant! Wang Hengyu: It's not? Jiang Ning: Forget it, just keep quiet! The guy, now forcibly muted, makes a sour face and speaks sarcastically: Fine, fine. I guess after all this time, you can't win the argument, so you tell me to shut up, huh? Jiang Ning: ... - No wind, no rain, clear skies, safe takeoffs and landings. - Who's waiting for his sun to come home, far below at an altitude of ten thousand meters?
