After Falling in Love with the Puppy Next Door

A sunshine-masking, prickly boy × a warm-hearted big sister who's bossy at home

A story of a kitten and a puppy saving each other.

Shen Zhiyun had spent twenty-six years treading carefully. Her only reckless act was letting herself get drunk on the night she caught her boyfriend cheating, then accidentally getting involved with the boy next door she had taken in for the night.

To keep Jiang Xinglan quiet, she decided to accept this new relationship. But she never imagined that someone as reserved as herself would do everything couples do with Jiang Xinglan within a month, willingly taking charge and turning the tables.

The closer they became, the more Shen Zhiyun felt that Jiang Xinglan had a problem with how he viewed love.

He said he couldn't bear to see her cry, yet loved her tearful eyes. He said he'd charge into battle for her, yet wanted to hide in her room forever like a puppy. He said everyone was equal in a relationship, yet liked pressing close to her neck and softly calling her his master...

“Sometimes I think my world should have room for no one but you. I want you to keep me confined and raise me like a puppy. Only when my heart and eyes are filled with you can I feel safe.”

Before he turned fifteen, Jiang Xinglan was an antisocial, unruly boy. His strange behavior earned him the nickname Mad Dog among his peers. Even when his parents divorced because of him, and thugs cornered him in an alley, beat him up, slandered him, and extorted money from him, he never changed his ways.

Then, one autumn night in high school, he met a woman and, for the first time, sincerely wanted to change for her.

Her name was Shen Zhiyun. She lived in the apartment above his and had a boyfriend she'd been with for a long time.

Out of her sight, Jiang Xinglan went mad with jealousy countless times, but she didn't even know his name.

At last, one day, he got the chance to climb into her bed and see the side of her that no one else knew.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

“When other people call me a dog, I go mad and bite. When Big Sister calls me a dog, I'll love her with all my might.”
