Let Me Into Your Heart

In her second year of doctoral studies, Song Beining became a teaching assistant for a lab course and was delighted to spot a promising young researcher among the somewhat green undergrads. This budding talent not only had a gift for the subject, but was also diligent and hardworking, and especially keen to ask her questions. Eager to nurture his talent, Song Beining answered every question he had, agreed to advise his innovation project, and even accompanied him to a competition. She was determined to recruit this promising prospect into her lab as her junior fellow!

But as she devoted herself to recruiting him, the way the seemingly innocent young man looked at her grew more and more unsettling...

Song Beining dodged his heated gaze, her fingers clutching the documents so tightly that they turned white. "Would you... let me recruit you into our lab?"

The young man opposite her, though he was really old enough to be called a man, didn't even glance at the recommendation papers she had handed him. He simply reached out and took her wrist. His palm was burning hot, his gaze forceful, but his low murmur held a trace of pleading. "If I say yes, would you... let me into your heart, too?"

About this novel:

[Entire novel is complete. New chapters at noon every day.]

1. An older-woman-younger-man romance. The leads are three years apart. The female lead is a doctoral teaching assistant, not a professor.

2. A sweet, slice-of-life campus romance I wrote earlier. It's sugary sweet, with no major twists or turns, and the leads' relationship progresses smoothly. A short story to read before bed.

3. Set in an alternate world. Everything is fictional; any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Moral: The beautiful love of university youth and reflections on the future.
