Glass Butterfly

Shen Yu'an is an ophthalmologist at Chongjing First People's Hospital. He is exceptionally handsome and skilled, the youngest associate chief physician, yet cool and aloof, devoted to his work, and every bit the unattainable flower on a high peak.

Everyone privately wondered what kind of person could pluck that flower from its lofty perch.

Then one day, someone saw Shen Yu'an, who never drank coffee, repeatedly visiting a cafe and waiting outside until nightfall.

“Do you have time to talk to me now?”

The young woman swung the keys in her hand. “No.”

“Does Mianmian miss me?”
