| Sly, mature woman x sweet, macho fanboy |
Jing Yu's first meeting with her next-door neighbor, Chen Xintian, is when he accidentally drinks her cocktail.
The man's rugged, muscular frame turns bright red in an instant, his wheat-colored skin flushing all over.
"Are you allergic to alcohol?" she asks.
He nods, his ears turning red.
When Jing Yu is tipsy, she knocks on the door next door.
She tells the man inside, "I heard that if you get exposed to alcohol a second time, it can help with the allergy. Want to try?"
That "try" lasts for half a year. One time, after they finish, Chen Xintian watches Wen Ying get up and put her clothes back on.
"What am I to you, exactly?"
The woman's damp bangs cling to her forehead. She turns to him with a smile.
"A friend."
After that day, Jing Yu never sees Chen Xintian again. His door stays shut, but she can't sleep at night.
Three months later, Jing Yu visits a supervisor at an archaeological research institute for work.
Chen Xintian opens the door. Wearing a crisp uniform, he leans against the frame and pretends not to know her. "Who are you looking for?"
Jing Yu grabs his tie. He bends down until they're eye to eye, and she bites his lips hard.
"My boyfriend."
Please note:
1. The female lead has other partners before the male lead.
2. Happy ending.
3. Readers who have moral expectations of the female lead may want to steer clear.
