Coming Soon: Heartbound Gu

After being apart for years, Cheng Tian never expected to see Jing Che again in a late-night examination room.

She is the doctor on duty for his student. He is the student's guardian.

The man takes the student's medical record and looks at the wildly scrawled handwriting. Unable to hold back, he asks, "If you were bad at science, why did you dare apply to medical school?"

Dr. Cheng looks up, the corners of her mouth curving beneath her mask.

"Why wouldn't I dare, if it's to treat the sick and save lives? But you... You actually went off to teach. Have you fallen for some young woman?"

Teacher Jing's gaze darkens. He says nothing more.

She still remembers the day they filled out their university applications after the college entrance exams. Staring at someone's photo, Cheng Tian had gritted her teeth.

"I'm saying it now: I'll apply to your school, take your path, and leave you nowhere to go!"

With sheer determination, she made it all the way to where she is today. And now that person is asking her why?

[Novel Blurb]

Tang You is the original author of the "Down-to-Earth CEO Song" series. Her unconventional CEO romance unexpectedly caught the eye of a major investor and was smoothly adapted into a TV drama. It became a huge hit after its release!

Fans flocked to the original story's comments section: "Author You, is there a real-life inspiration for CEO Song? Is he your crush? You made him so down-to-earth. Does he know?"

Author You: "No, he's not, and he doesn't know!"

Her three-part reply came out far too smoothly. Little did she know that the words "doesn't know" would immediately stir up a storm in the comments.

Tang You spotted it and quickly deleted the reply, but an eager fan had already taken a screenshot.

Some fans even added images of the phrase "doesn't know" in all kinds of languages and dialects around the words, putting in every effort to encourage the author to bravely admit the truth.

Staring at the comments section she could no longer control, Tang You really wanted to cry...

Determined to "deny everything to the bitter end," she temporarily left the comments section and pretended nothing had happened.

That is, until after the Dinghe celebration banquet, when Song Qixuan sent everyone else away and gazed at the pretty face across from him, smiling faintly.

"May I ask if CEO Song has a real-life inspiration?"

Tang You doesn't even lift her eyelids before denying it. "No!"

Later, Song Qixuan puts on a blue-and-white school tracksuit, turns around in front of Tang You a few times, then reaches out with his long arm and pulls her into his embrace.

"Youyou, take a good look. I'm obviously the real-life inspiration for CEO Song!"

The Story Begins in a Glimmer of Light

When Song Yuanwan first arrives in Xicheng, her striking features and beautiful figure immediately draw plenty of attention.

The guesthouse owner enthusiastically recommends a guide, and her eyes land at once on the tall man in the corner.

"Brother Xu, what do you think?" the guesthouse owner asks with a smile.

Huo Xu raises an eyebrow and walks over, his expression cool and distant.

The moment they brush past each other, Song Yuanwan's breath catches. Her heart pounds as she reaches out...

"Handsome, come with me on this trip. I promise it'll be worth your while."

Dawn breaks, and the first light of morning spills into the tent. The space beside him is cool, and she is long gone.

The man slowly sits up, his expression growing colder.

Something seems to be wrapped in the black T-shirt by his feet...

A Junlan Hotel annual pass!

A cold smile touches his lips. "So this is what you meant by 'worth my while'?"

Song Yuanwan never expected to win an award for a distinctive men's robe, given that she was a qipao designer.

After the ceremony, a reporter asks, "Did you design this robe for someone in particular?"

Song Yuanwan smiles. "Huo Xu, I suppose."

Everyone else: "You suppose? What kind of answer is that?"

Word has it that the owner of Junlan personally presents award winners with a hotel VIP card, the kind that means you never have to pay for a room again!

Song Yuanwan is looking forward to it, since she really does love the Junlan Hotel.

Still, it's a little strange. Does the owner of Junlan have that much free time?

Why go out of his way to deliver the card in person? Is it to show how much he values the award winner?

It isn't until the hotel manager introduces him that she finds out: "Miss Song, this is Mr. Huo, our boss at Junlan."

Song Yuanwan swallows twice, blinks, and asks uncertainly, "Isn't the owner of Junlan a Mr. Luo?"

Seeing that his boss remains expressionless, the manager continues, "Mr. Huo is Chairman Luo's grandson."

Song Yuanwan: "..."

Even she hadn't expected that the moment the man looked her way, her heart would still pound like a drum, while her face wore a calm, easy smile.

"Mr. Huo, what a coincidence."

At this opening, the hotel manager tactfully leaves at once, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Huo Xu advances step by step. Song Yuanwan keeps backing away, breathing hard. "Mr. Huo, um, Mr. Huo... Let's talk this out. After all... this is your hotel..."

"Yes, it's my hotel," the man says coolly. "You think one annual pass is enough to get rid of me?"
