Desensitization Plan

My next book, About the Puppy, is a cheerful puppy x a scatterbrained girl, and it's currently updating. The blurb is at the very bottom~

/

The year they first met, Lin Qing was thirteen, a mischievous little tyrant who did whatever she pleased;

Lu Ming was ten, a delicate young master with fair skin and soft features.

The young master was being bullied by some boys in an alley when the neighborhood queen's roar of righteous indignation first brought them together.

Afterward, though, Lin Qing only found him annoying:

"Don't follow me. I wasn't trying to help you. I just can't stand those guys. Men are all good-for-nothings!"

Lu Ming hadn't cried at all, but her verdict made him flush with panic.

"Men... What about me?"

Seeing the little one getting teary, Lin Qing grew even more annoyed.

"Oh, I didn't mean you. What kind of man are you? I told you not to follow me!"

"I am a man!" The young master was so handsome that even when he got angry, he was adorable. "And I'm the best kind of man in the whole world!"

-

Years later, Lu Ming had shed all his childhood softness. He was elegant and charming, handsome and distinguished, a talented heir from a medical family with a reputation in the field.

Lin Qing, meanwhile, had been diagnosed with cancer.

If cancer suddenly entered your life, what would you regret?

Lin Qing thought it over.

Probably that she'd always been unlucky in love and had never been with a man.

So she took her test results and barged into Lu Ming's consultation room.

"Doctor Lu, this is my one last wish. I want you to help me make it happen."

Lu Ming remained unmoved, but his fingers tightened around her test results until his knuckles turned pale.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood."

Her hopes dashed, Lin Qing hadn't even had time to feel disappointed before Director Lu had her swiftly prepped and wheeled into the operating room.

After the surgery, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qing couldn't help admiring Lu Ming's calm decisiveness as a doctor.

But nobody knew that the night before her operation,

Lu Ming had paced the corridor outside her hospital room until dawn.

-

Lin Qing was discharged without a hitch and returned to the hospital for her follow-up as promised not long afterward.

To her surprise, Lu Ming appeared halfway there, carrying a bouquet of roses.

Lin Qing put on her sunglasses. "Sorry, I'm allergic to romance."

...What about trying a different approach?

Lu Ming chased after her again and handed her a key card.

Lin Qing loved no one. "Sorry, I'm allergic to men, too."

AKA Director Lu of the Allergy Clinic: Nothing serious. Let's get that desensitization therapy started.

An allergist who treats all kinds of allergies.

-

Everyone sees Director Lu as a refined gentleman, but they don't know how captivating those peach-blossom eyes are when he's in love.

Lu Ming's hot breath brushed Lin Qing's earlobe, and his rich, mellow voice brimmed with mischief after his satisfaction. "Are you happy with the desensitization treatment, sis?"

"..."

Lin Qing was dazed for a moment. Meeting those smiling peach-blossom eyes, she felt her breathing go all out of whack and couldn't answer.

But her inner commentary never stopped:

#Danger, danger, danger#

#Men are all good-for-nothings#

*The ungrateful big sister x the bad little brother who acts like a gentleman; three-year age gap

*The female lead is alive and well throughout the story, and will live to at least eighty-eight

*SC, 1v1, HE / Weibo: @Zhai Yiyi Is Here

(Note: In the name of the Department of Allergy and Immunology, "allergy" refers to the immune system no longer functioning normally. The department specializes in treating allergic diseases., Excerpted from Baidu Baike)

Next book: About the Puppy

A sweet school romance with mutual crushes, HE, and a coming-of-age story spanning high school, university, and career choices.

Everyone knows Ji Xiu as the math genius at the affiliated high school, a cool and handsome current campus heartthrob.

But only Shen Yuqiao knows that in private, he's just a nonstop chatterbox who talks nonsense all day.

Just how much does he talk?

He doesn't even need to be speaking face-to-face. Even when he sends text messages on social media, he can make you feel like you're listening to a voice message.

Shen Yuqiao thought she'd gotten used to it.

Until this record-breaking chatterbox reached a whole new level on the night their college entrance exams ended.

She stared at the dozen or so sixty-second voice messages from Ji Xiu on her phone, feeling a headache coming on.

Curious despite herself, she tapped the speech-to-text button, but before even one voice message had finished transcribing, another message popped up:

[I'm downstairs at your place]

She went downstairs as he'd asked, and sure enough, there was the chatterbox himself.

But the boy stood there without saying a word, unusually quiet.

Even the summer breeze seemed to slow down as it swept past his reddening ears. She watched him ruefully scratch his head, then rub his nose.

At last, Shen Yuqiao heard him say the briefest sentence of the night:

"...I like you."

-

I'm not bragging, but even after they got together, Shen Yuqiao still found Ji Xiu a little annoying sometimes.

Especially when her classmates' extreme academic competition left her so stressed that she broke down emotionally.

She thought of her roommate's boyfriend, who sent an endless supply of cheesy pickup lines all day, then thought of her own boyfriend, who couldn't say anything sweet and whose most frequent show of concern was always, "Drink more hot water."

Shen Yuqiao cried even harder.

"Don't cry."

A familiar figure suddenly appeared before her.

Before she could react, Ji Xiu pulled her into a tight embrace. "Keep crying and I'll have to bully you."

"?"

Something was off about him.

Shen Yuqiao sniffed in surprise, and the familiar cartoon theme song had already started playing in her head:

Happy puppy evolves into... bewitching wolf dog!

#Help, my happy puppy suddenly evolved on his own. What do I do?#

Theme: Love others and love yourself.
