Twisting Your Ear

[My other novel, It Began with a Glimmer, is now available. Please add it to your collection!]

On Jiang Ruihan's first day reporting to Jiang University Affiliated Hospital, she was suddenly called in to help in the emergency room.

She wasn't paying attention for a moment and got blood sprayed all over her, but luckily someone pulled her out of the way in time. The person who pulled her was Vice President Cheng, who supposedly had an excellent reputation at the hospital!

His medical skills, character, looks, and family background were all top-notch!

Everyone said he was wonderful, except that his face was almost always expressionless and he rarely showed his emotions, making him hard to read.

One day, someone suddenly saw the new, quiet young woman in the research group pinch Vice President Cheng's ear and scold him, "Are you ever going to stop?"

And Vice President Cheng's usually unruffled face... suddenly broke into a smile, making it perfectly clear that he was in a very good mood!

When the rumor spread, everyone was stunned!

How did that young woman dare to pinch Vice President Cheng's ear?!

And more importantly, he actually let her pinch it! How many hearts had just been broken by that?

The young woman in question paid it no mind and went right back to work. Vice President Cheng, on the other hand, whose Weibo had been overgrown with weeds for years, suddenly posted an update.

"@Ruirui pinched my ear."

Little Scene 1:

At last, Vice President Cheng could openly take the young woman home to meet his family.

The moment she saw the old lady, Jiang Ruihan blurted out, "Hello, Grandma."

Vice President Cheng's face went completely dark. "Either call her Auntie, or just call her Mom."

The old lady beamed. "Our Ruirui... has finally come home."

Little Scene 2:

That summer, Cheng Tian had a miserable time, with her younger uncle chasing her every day to make her memorize English vocabulary.

Jiang Ruihan had finished memorizing hers long ago. Cheng Tian kept complaining, "He even said that if I could pinch his ear, I could memorize twenty fewer words! He's as nimble as a monkey. Who could ever pinch his ear?!"

A moment later, she saw Jiang Ruihan pinching her younger uncle's ear. She stared in shock. "Cheng Jingsheng, have you been possessed by someone from another world?!"

Blurb:

When Song Yuanwan first arrived in Xicheng, her figure looked lovely in a blue-green qipao. Her striking, graceful features immediately caught everyone's eye.

The owner of the guesthouse enthusiastically recommended a guide to her, and she took one look at the tall man in the corner and chose him.

As if he had expected this, the owner turned his head and asked with a smile, "Brother Xu, what do you think?"

Huo Xu raised an eyebrow slightly, walked over, and wore an indifferent, distant expression.

As they brushed past each other, Song Yuanwan's breath caught. Her heart pounded, and she reached out...

"Handsome, come with me on this trip, and I promise it'll be a sure thing for you."

Later, Huo Xu realized this was hardly a sure thing for him.

He was clearly being reeled in bit by bit, until in the end he lost his heart too.

That day... dawn broke, and the first light of morning streamed into the tent. The space beside him was cool; she was already gone.

Huo Xu slowly sat up, his eyes growing colder.

Inside the black T-shirt by his feet... something seemed to be wrapped up?

He hooked it with his toe and pulled it closer.

It was... an annual membership card for Junlan Hotel!

The red sun slowly rose, casting a thousand rays of light and instantly driving the chill from his eyes.

Huo Xu stretched his arms and looked south, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I suppose... it's time to go back and take a look."

When they met again, Song Yuanwan hadn't expected that the moment the man looked at her, her heart would still pound like a drum, though she wore a calm smile.

"Mr. Huo, what a coincidence."

The hotel manager heard the opening line, promptly and tactfully made his exit, and considerately closed the door behind him.

Huo Xu came closer step by step. Song Yuanwan kept backing away, breathing fast. "Mr. Huo, I mean, President Huo... Let's talk this out. At any rate... this is your hotel..."

"Yes, it's my hotel." The man's voice was cool. "You thought an annual membership card would be enough to get rid of me?"
