Absolutely Gentle

"Please be gentle with my darling. - Shi Yu"

(For updates on the print edition, follow Jiang Luoluo Ya on Weibo.)

Five years after their breakup, the young dancer Xia Chi returned home laden with honors. Dead drunk, she showed up at her ex-boyfriend's door, affectionately tugged his hand against her cheek, and begged, "A Yu, will you take me home?"

Shi Yu bent down, carried her inside, and stayed by her side all night.

After they got back together, their sweet relationship made everyone around them envious. People wondered how they had gotten together in the first place.

"Ahem!" Xia Chi, who had once boldly and forcefully pursued him until he gave in, lied without batting an eye. "Doctor Shi was dazzled by my beauty and pursued me for a whole year before I finally said yes!"

Shi Yu smiled and nodded, playing along with everything she said.

Later, at a party, she accidentally overheard an old friend expose her. "Back then, Sister Xia had such a fiery, arrogant temper. On the first day of school, she pinned Brother Yu against a wall..."

Red-faced with embarrassment as her past was brought up, Xia Chi clenched her fists.

Doctor Shi gazed at her dotingly and kissed her ear tenderly. "I was the one who couldn't resist Zhizhi's irresistible beauty."

During the years they were apart, Xia Chi always wore a hair clip with the letters SY, while the pendant engraved with XC around Shi Yu's neck never left him.

[After Marriage]

When Xia Chi was invited back to her school for an anniversary celebration, she accidentally discovered a secret on the campus forum's Romance Wall.

Back in high school, Shi Yu had written 52 lines of code that opened to an image of a starry sky.

Across the stars were just four words: My Zhizhi.

[Reading Guide] Please don't compare this to real life.

1. A fiery dancer x a gentle doctor. A healing, redemptive romance that I think is sweet. They didn't split up because of a misunderstanding, their careers, or falling out of love!

2. Both are pure, one-on-one romance, and they're the same age. The heroine is Xia Chi (Chi); there's a reason the hero calls her Zhizhi.
