This story: Straightforward, lovestruck boy and cool, perceptive, confident older woman

Blurb:

The first time Jiang Yi met Lin Ge was at a medical checkup center he'd turned upside down.

He hid behind Jiang Yi, gripping her slender shoulders, and asked in a feeble voice, "Miss Doctor, you don't give shots here, do you?"

The boy had clear, handsome features and bright eyes.

Until he noticed the tooth-extraction forceps in Jiang Yi's hand.

Then he ran out like he'd lost his soul.

From that day on, Lin Ge suddenly barged into Jiang Yi's life.

The boy's love came as a surprise, and burned fiercely.

After she turned him down, he even hid outside the hospital and cried like a little puppy.

Later, Lin Ge suddenly disappeared.

But every morning when Jiang Yi woke up, her phone still showed a missed call that had rung for two seconds, and a different kind of breakfast was always left outside her office.

Until one day, Jiang Yi, softhearted, forced herself to get up early.

In a hallway filled with morning sunlight, she saw Lin Ge take a lunchbox out of his backpack and carefully set it on the floor.

Then he gazed at a photo of her at work and pouted as he pleaded,

"Why don't you just like me a little?"

-

Everyone says Jiang Yi is cold and antisocial.

She thinks they're right.

So at first, she couldn't understand why she liked Lin Ge.

He talks too much, splitting one sentence into five messages.

And he keeps secretly bringing food to her office.

But the day Jiang Yi completely broke with her family,

Lin Ge was the only one who found her in the middle of the night.

"He was like a beam of light shining toward me," Jiang Yi said.

"Pretty corny, right?"

"But he really is the light."

Bonus-scene blurb:

When they officially got together, Lin Ge had just started his first year of college, while Jiang Yi was busy with her studies every day.

With one busy and one free, Lin Ge couldn't help missing her, even though Jiang Yi had expressly forbidden him from contacting her during the day.

One day, Lin Ge saw a joke online and sent it to Jiang Yi because he thought it was funny.

Why aren't you replying to my messages?

1. You're pretending you didn't see them.

2. You really don't want to reply.

3. I have no manners.

He assumed she wouldn't check her phone, but to his surprise, she replied right away.

[333 I have no manners]

That evening, after finally getting the chance to hold her, Lin Ge cornered Jiang Yi in a small grove on campus. He nuzzled her with his canine teeth and pleaded, "Little Jiang, you have no manners because you haven't kissed me today, right?"

Tips:

* The story was conceived in 2018.

* The little joke in the blurb comes from the internet.

* Older woman-younger man romance, both are each other's first, four-year age gap. The hero isn't childish and has a brain.

* Life is full of disappointments. The bravest thing is to get through them and start a new life, so neither side is deliberately put through angst.

* They focus on their studies during the years when they shouldn't be dating.

Blurb:

On the afternoon the new term's exam results were announced, Jiang Nan was kept after school by her math teacher because she was so weak in the subject.

As she left, she ran into Cong Ye, the new transfer student, at the end of the hallway.

He stood with his back to Jiang Nan, bathed in the setting sun, his voice calm and clear.

Jiang Nan thought she'd stumbled into a confession, so she stepped closer out of curiosity,

but the next moment she heard Cong Ye say her name.

"Cong Ye, you're wrong again. We talked about this during practice yesterday. Don't call her Jiang Jiang. Call her Jiang Nan."

The voice was full of complaint and reproach.

At the time, Cong Ye was bright, proper, and full of youthful energy. His move from science to the humanities had also caused quite a stir at school.

He rarely spoke, but the pink envelopes in his desk drawer kept piling up.

They had no connection, so Jiang Nan naturally assumed she'd been doing math for so long that she was hallucinating.

But the next morning, during early study period, Cong Ye suddenly came to her with his near-perfect math test paper.

From that day on, their classmates began to notice something strange about the two top students.

For example, Cong Ye's math papers sat on Jiang Nan's desk, while Jiang Nan's politics notes were tucked into Cong Ye's desk.

And another person appeared in Jiang Nan's line of sight:

Explaining problems, fetching water, taking out the trash.

He did it all with ease.
