Love Me Right

Blurb: A girl transfers to Huaqing High School. She's beautiful, clever, disciplined, and so outstanding that no one can match her top marks in every subject. But only Lu Tiao knows how heartless she is. Her beautiful eyes are distant and indifferent to everyone, and though her lips are lovely, she's never once smiled with joy. Even knowing she's an iceberg, Lu Tiao still falls helplessly in love with Ran Ning. She boldly throws herself at her, openly says she likes her, and pursues her without reservation. Even after being rejected, she refuses to give up. "My feelings for you are my business. They have nothing to do with you." She sneaks glances at Ran Ning reading during morning study, secretly breathes in the scent of her hair stirred by the breeze, secretly touches the fingers hanging at her side, secretly picks up the hair clip she throws away… Every little thing about Ran Ning lands right on her thundering heart. Lu Tiao longs for Ran Ning to look at her, even just once. At last, Ran Ning looks her way. They secretly date behind everyone's backs, holding hands, embracing, kissing, doing everything lovers do when they're in the throes of love. Ran Ning plants a seed of love in Lu Tiao's heart, and Lu Tiao waters it with her passion. She sinks into Ran Ning's affection, deeper and deeper. But all their beautiful dreams of the future come to an abrupt end after the college entrance exams. Ran Ning doesn't want her anymore. Ran Ning says there's no place for her in her future. Nine years later, they reunite at Huaqing Hospital. The professor who has the power to decide whether Ran Ning can stay at the hospital is none other than Lu Tiao's mother. Wearing her flight uniform smartly, Lu Tiao stands beside her mother. She casually glances over at Ran Ning's face, her gaze cold and distant, without lingering for even a moment. She deserves to hate me, Ran Ning thinks. The seed she planted in Lu Tiao's heart has borne fruit, and now she's tasting it herself-- A bitter fruit. But behind the scenes, on every day off after their reunion, Lu Tiao waits outside the hospital where Ran Ning works, watching her leave, watching her go upstairs, watching the lights come on, then watching them go dark. Like a madwoman, she repeats the same ritual over and over. Those who never forget will eventually hear an answer. Ran Ning: "I understand all there is to know about love, so will you be with me forever?" You shouldn't meet someone too extraordinary when you're young. Ran Ning is the most precious thing in Lu Tiao's heart. If she can love her, she's willing to risk her life. A principled, upright female rescue pilot x a cool on the outside, warm-hearted and clear-eyed doctor Secondary couple: considerate psychologist Shang Nan x a nurse who loves boldly and hates boldly, Bai Li Reader's guide: 1. This is a second-chance romance that begins after the reunion. The high school years appear in flashbacks, and both female leads are adults during high school. 2. The professional knowledge about both female leads' jobs comes from online searches. Please don't scrutinize it too closely. 3. This is primarily a romance. All plot points are there to support the relationship. The secondary couple are not both virgins. If that bothers you, don't read. 4. Neither lead is a hopeless romantic. They're both capable and strong-willed. 5. The characters aren't based on real people. They're all original, so please don't read them as real people. I will delete aggressive comments from people with a zero subscription rate. You didn't pay, and I have the right to delete them. Fair is fair. Most importantly: women can be anything. There are plenty of female pilots in real life, and they're all excellent. Men aren't the only ones who can do it. If you insist on imagining the characters as another gender, please drop the story. Theme: "Girls, don't be afraid of what society thinks."
