[Orthopedic surgeon x female police officer]

Xu Er never dreamed that she would see Jiang Hechuan again while on duty, after she accidentally fell into a pit while pursuing a criminal.

The man stared at the wound on her face, her bird's nest of hair, and her dirt-stained clothes. After a moment's silence, he said, "Give me your contact information. You'll need it for your follow-up appointment."

Xu Er looked up. "Dr. Jiang, that's a pretty original way to hit on someone."

Jiang Hechuan's mouth twitched. "You're overthinking it. I just know a good plastic surgeon I can recommend."

"..."

After finding the woman he had searched for over many years, Jiang Hechuan tried every trick he could think of to win her favor. For instance, when Xu Er received a call from a child who said they were locked inside their home, she looked up at the grand mansion and decided to climb the wall. Jiang Hechuan appeared from nowhere with a power drill and flashed a cocky smile. "I'm really good at drilling through walls. Better than most electricians."

"..."

On a rainy night when he was seventeen, Jiang Hechuan put headphones on Zhou Er and used a song to hold together her crumbling world. He carried her through that dark, agonizing stretch of road.
