Obstetrician-Gynecologist vs. Biochemistry Professor
The first time Gu Meijia met Jin Nanshu, she was in the hospital's gynecology clinic, about to finish work, when he walked in.
She kindly reminded him, "The men's clinic is on the third floor."
The second time they met was on a blind date. Neither of them expected the other to be their date.
They politely and distantly finished their meal, said goodbye, and never brought up whether they should meet again.
The third time, a colleague's wife cornered her outside the hospital, calling her a shameless homewrecker. As the humiliating confrontation dragged on, a tall, dashing man pushed through the crowd of onlookers and pulled her protectively into his arms. To the colleague's wife, who kept hurling accusations at her, he said, "My girlfriend would never be interested in your husband."
He led her down the street. Beneath the shade of a tree, he stopped without letting go of her hand. "Dating is too much trouble. How about we just get married?"
She looked up at him, dazzled by the sunlight filtering through the leaves.
He lowered his eyes. "If you're willing, shall we go get our marriage license?"
Gu Meijia turned her gaze toward the traffic streaming past in the distance. "The day after tomorrow. I'll ask my supervisor for the day off tomorrow."
At twenty-eight, Jin Nanshu was the youngest biochemistry professor at Beiqing University. Cool and aloof, he was an extreme perfectionist who had planned his life with meticulous clarity. Marriage was the one thing that had never made the list.
In all his twenty-eight years, nothing had ever happened outside his plans, except marrying Gu Meijia.
After the wedding, they still spent their days at the hospital and the lab, just as they had before. The only difference was that they now had a bedmate to chat with under the covers at night.
It was only natural, and entirely expected, that their relationship would grow closer. The experience, however, was beyond anything Gu Meijia had imagined.
Tears in her eyes, she bit his collarbone with her pearly teeth and complained, frustrated and aggrieved, "Jin Nanshu, you jerk!"
A hidden smile glimmered in Jin Nanshu's eyes as he held her tight, refusing to relent. Pressing his lips to her ear, he murmured, his voice muffled, "Weren't you the one who told me to go to the men's clinic?"
Everyone knew Professor Jin as a man with a clear, handsome face, but he was stern and unapproachable, restrained and cool, and indifferent to human connection. In his eyes, nothing mattered but research.
One day, someone saw him scoop a young woman with long chestnut curls into his arms and carry her carefully and calmly across the muddy construction zone at the school gate. His eyes were full of tenderness too deep to conceal.
That day, the campus BBS forum exploded.
His many admirers: If I'm guilty, let the law punish me, not turn me into a jealous woman who's about to go mad!
