[Bright and sociable pet weight-loss trainer x outwardly aloof, inwardly socially anxious, love-struck CEO]

One day, on an impulsive whim, Jiang Lu confessed to her former classmate, top student, and good friend He Jinyan. The result was a spectacular failure.

The sweltering summer heat brought a flush to the young girl's cheeks, making her as lively as a fawn in the woods. She stumbled through a love poem. His school uniform sleeves were spotless and neat. After she stopped him, he turned to look at her, his cool expression unmoved.

He seemed as distant as if he were among the clouds.

No wonder he was the most unattainable flower at Number One High. Jiang Lu, a beauty enthusiast, was crushed by reality, then fled in defeat with tears in her eyes.

Years later, Jiang Lu had become a pet weight-loss trainer. She'd long forgotten that awkward episode in her past, and she'd forgotten He Jinyan, too.

That is, until a man walked into a cat cafe in the glow of the setting sun. He was neatly and elegantly dressed, with an exceptional air about him. His face was just as cool as ever, and a casual glance in her direction had a heart-fluttering magic to it.

Their eyes met in midair.

He was holding the leash of a chubby, short-legged corgi. Its round body almost completely hid its four legs, so at first Jiang Lu couldn't tell whether it was standing or lying down.

Then the corgi's owner gave a light cough.

Jiang Lu instantly came to her senses. Her buried memories ambushed her, and when she recognized the man, her expression turned constipated. "Long time... no see, He Jinyan?"

Jiang Lu never would have guessed that He Jinyan was a hardcore animal lover. What's more, he was an innocent, socially anxious man!

The day they made their relationship official, her social media feed exploded. Jiang Lu's friends came to congratulate her, marveling at her skill. Even her fake ex-boyfriend left a comment: 999.

That night, the man who seemed aloof but was actually petty bit her soft cheek and asked in a cool voice, "Who's he?"

Jiang Lu held her face, eyes brimming with tears, speechless.

"Call me husband."

After a long while, he finally let her go with a helpless sigh.

Beneath his dark, tousled hair, the man's ears were burning red.

[When he was young, he once liked a girl, though nobody knew. He wrote about her in his diary and called her Little Deer. Little Deer, He Jinyan's little deer.]
