Wolf-and-Rabbit Romance / Size Difference
A refined scoundrel who is good at pretending to be a big bad wolf x a pretty, timid girl who goes weak in the knees for sickly-sweet men
In the height of summer, with her mother abroad for surgery, Qin Zhiyu temporarily moved in with one of her father's friends. There, she met his son, Lu Jinzhao.
He was handsome, with red lips and pearly white teeth, and a hint of roguish charm. He was the kind of guy who looked difficult to handle, but whom girls especially wanted to handle.
He was in the same year as Qin Zhiyu, and the famous president of the school's basketball club.
On her seventh night staying there, just as Qin Zhiyu was getting ready for bed, someone suddenly tapped three times on her door. Half of Lu Jinzhao's face appeared through the crack. "Can you do me a favor?"
Qin Zhiyu would always remember the innocent, guileless smile that appeared in the corner of his eyes when she nodded. But she never expected that this neighbor, with whom she exchanged no more than five words a week, would ask her to pretend to be his girlfriend.
Qin Zhiyu even bought a notebook to keep a "romance observation journal."
"188 centimeters, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and six-pack abs. A man like that, if he were all sick and needy..."
"His fingers are so long and slender, and his nails are pink..."
"I wonder what he'd look like with a lace blindfold over his eyes..."
"When he pushes up his glasses, his ring finger curls slightly. I want to bite it..."
Until, on one page, her handwriting suddenly grew frantic:
"Is he crazy? I just asked when we were breaking up, and he said he was going to lock me up!"
"So what if I said his buddy was handsome? What gives him the right to bite me!"
"Break up. We have to break up!"
"But when is he going to break up with me?"
"Will he break up with me if I like someone else?"
"Would he break up with me sooner if I liked his best friend?"
After reading through the journal, which was a full handspan thick, Lu Jinzhao's peach-blossom eyes, their outer corners slightly upturned, darkened.
She wants to break up?
Not in this lifetime!
When no breakup came, Qin Zhiyu decided to bring it up herself.
But when he answered the phone, she heard him say:
"Baby, didn't you say last time that you liked me with my eyes covered?"
"Be a good girl and come downstairs."
