[Mental Breakdown Fiction] [Urban] [Angsty-Sweet, Male Lead Pursues His Ex]

Super-Fighting-Boss Babe & Tsundere, Scheming Ex-Husband

Four years after they broke up, Cheng Jiaran suddenly received a spam text.

"The new bed is pretty soft."

The sender was her ex-husband, whom she hadn't contacted since they split up.

? What was wrong with this guy?

Cheng Jiaran didn't take it seriously. Half-mocking, half-helpful, she warned him:

"Hey, ex-hubby, you sent that spam text to the wrong person."

-

But the next day, another spam text arrived right on schedule.

"Can't sleep. I miss you."

Cheng Jiaran replied, "Get lost."

On the third day, another text came at the same time as before.

"You there? Want to see mine?"

Cheng Jiaran told him, "Go die somewhere far away."

Then came the fourth day, the fifth...

Cheng Jiaran couldn't take it anymore. Before blocking his number, she decided to call him back and give him a piece of her mind. But as soon as the call connected, he hung up, then blocked her.

Furious, Cheng Jiaran dug his dormant WeChat account out of her blacklist and sent him a voice message, cursing him out: "Zhou Jinyue, what the hell is wrong with you?!"

Just as she was about to block him again, her phone buzzed.

A voice message came from him.

In a cool, indifferent voice, the man imitated a puppy: "Woof."

-

Back in college, Zhou Jinyue had never imagined that he and Cheng Jiaran would break up.

So when she suddenly called it quits, the proud young man froze. A split second before his eyes reddened, he turned away and laughed carelessly. "Fine, let's break up."

"I don't care."

No one noticed the sob caught in the young man's voice.

That breakup ended badly. They both swore never to speak to each other again, and that whoever gave in first was a dog. From then on, they had nothing to do with each other.

Four years later, on an ordinary night, Cheng Jiaran suddenly dragged him out of her blacklist and inexplicably sent him a string of voice messages.

Zhou Jinyue was stunned for a moment.

He didn't even have time to listen. He hurriedly pressed the voice-message button and, with trembling hands, sent one back.

"Woof."

He was willing to be a puppy, the very puppy Cheng Jiaran had loved most.

Reading guide:

1. The spam texts were not sent by the male lead in the usual sense, but they are connected to him. No one else is involved! (Spoilers, explained later.)

2. One-on-one romance, both leads sexually inexperienced, happy ending. Sweet and funny with a touch of angst.

3. Reconciliation after a breakup. The male lead starts pursuing his ex from the beginning.

4. Mainly set in the city, with occasional flashbacks to their college romance, though they'll probably just be brief scenes.

You Sheng suffers from insomnia and can only fall asleep with medication.

One day, she stumbled across a sleep-aid video.

The screen showed only a man's hands, with their distinct knuckles. His fingers moved close to the microphone as he used common objects like a goose-feather brush, an ear spoon, a cotton swab, and a straw to create incredible sounds. His occasional soft whispers made the whole thing light and soothing.

You Sheng had her first good night's sleep in years.

After that, she listened to the man's sleep-aid videos every night to fall asleep.

She learned that it was called ASMR.

She became hooked on ASMR and fell even more in love with the man's sleep streams. You Sheng became this new creator's first devoted fan.

Every day after work, she went home and begged for updates.

"Teacher, I want to hear the ear spoon scraping the mic."

"Hehe, I want to hear blowing sounds and ear touching, babe."

Then the man suddenly stopped updating.

-

Without the sleep aid, You Sheng's insomnia got bad again, and every day at work she was full of resentment.

When her boss reprimanded her for being late, she wanted to kill, kill, kill!

When her boss criticized her proposal for being trash, she wanted to kill, kill, kill!

When her boss wanted to take her on a business trip, she was ready to spin around 360 degrees and kill, kill, kill!

Under the combined pressure of insomnia and work, You Sheng decided to quit.

She shoved open the office door. "Director Lu, I want to resign..."

Inside the office,

a man in a suit sat in silence, one hand holding a fluffy pink ball, the other gripping an ivory-colored goose-feather brush. With his lips lightly touching the microphone, he skillfully recorded the sleep-aid video he planned to upload that night.

The computer screen was on his account page.

"Lnn Lulls You to Sleep"

At the same time, You Sheng's phone chimed with a notification.

"Your favorite creator is online~"

-

Lu Tingnan was meticulous at work and never smiled. To his subordinates, he was a demon boss.

He worked diligently by day, then took off his mask at night to make sleep-aid videos.

He never showed his face or spoke much, and his platform had pitifully few followers, just 34, all of them inactive accounts.

One day, he suddenly gained a high-quality, real-life fan. After watching every one of his sleep-aid videos, she began asking for updates.

Lu Tingnan cherished her.

He granted every request his little fan made.

Until the night they went on a business trip, when his little assistant was fast asleep in her hotel bed, her phone still glowing beside her pillow.

His sleep-aid video was playing on repeat.

The young woman murmured in her sleep, "I wish you could lull me to sleep forever."
