After Meeting My Former Patient on a Blind Date

Bright, carefree sweetheart x gentle, serious, fatherly man

*

Tu Xia met Zhao Yuming through an introduction.

He was a fatherly type: strict and serious in his ways, with a gentle but old-fashioned personality.

On the day of their blind date, Tu Xia deliberately arrived late.

The man sat by the window in a plain black T-shirt. His short hair was neat and sharp, his shoulders broad, and his arms had smooth, defined muscles. He kept his head down, so she couldn't make out his expression.

She'd thought it was their first meeting, but it turned out to be a chance to "settle accounts."

Zhao Yuming: You spent a whole week bringing all the nurses from your department to gawk at me, like I was a monkey in a zoo.

Tu Xia: Can't help it. You're handsome and have a great body.

Zhao Yuming: What am I supposed to say?

Tu Xia: You should be overwhelmed with gratitude and thank me for the compliment.

Zhao Yuming: Thank you. [Kindly smiles]

Tu Xia: You're welcome.

Later, her ex-boyfriend harassed her, and she sprained her wrist during an argument.

Zhao Yuming gave her a serious lesson on personal safety.

Tu Xia was full of resentment. She thought, Has he gotten addicted to being a teacher? Why does he love lecturing people so much?! I'll kick him right in the balls and turn him into a eunuch!

One night, drunk, she pointed at Zhao Yuming and swore at him. "You're no better than anyone else. All you do is lecture me and preach at me."

Zhao Yuming was exceptionally patient. "Mm. I'm no good either."

She pouted, played the victim, and fussed all night.

After that, Zhao Yuming sat on the sofa and thought for a long time. He considered how to settle the matter quickly and directly, and when he finally found the answer, he laughed at himself.

Just as Tu Xia had said, if someone bullies you, hit them back.

So Zhao Yuming set aside his manners and got into his first fight as an adult.

She talks a lot, loves to act cute, and occasionally puts on a cold face, but she's easy to appease. When she bares her claws, she's like a pretty cat.

He doesn't say much and likes watching the pretty cat glare and bare her teeth at him. He's like a big, loyal dog guarding his cat.

No one but Tu Xia knows that Zhao Yuming's spotless white shirt hides a body covered in bite marks and scratches.

The little cat bares her teeth and unsheathes her claws. She bites and scratches him.

She's so adorable.

Both are virgins; happy ending; four-year age gap; complete draft, updated daily.

Actually sweet and naive x aloof, haughty oddball | High school teacher x tech CEO

Marriage before love, bickering like elementary schoolers

*

Chen Muyuan needs a well-behaved, obedient wife who knows how to keep her place.

So he sets his sights on his subordinate's ex-girlfriend.

*

Xu Huiran has followed the rules for 26 years, but on an impulse, she agrees to marry a man she's only met a handful of times.

At the time, Chen Muyuan is a renowned tech CEO, a powerful figure among the children of wealthy families;

while Xu Huiran is just an ordinary small-town woman who has worked hard all her life to barely secure a teaching job in Beicheng.

They agree to a three-year marriage, each getting what they need from it.

Chen Muyuan promises her, "I'll give you everything you want."

*

Every day after the wedding, Xu Huiran does her best to play her part.

She knows full well that she and Chen Muyuan are worlds apart.

Even later, when their relationship has gone beyond that of a contractual couple, Xu Huiran still doesn't dare hope for anything from him.

One day, while Chen Muyuan is asleep, she takes advantage of the alcohol and gives the corner of his lips a kiss.

The kiss is light as a dragonfly's touch, landing briefly before she hurriedly pulls away.

Xu Huiran's cheeks burn. She tells herself she's just had too much to drink and will be fine after sleeping it off.

She closes her eyes and smiles, snuggling into Chen Muyuan's arms.

*

Chen Muyuan is famous in Beicheng for prioritizing his career over women.

It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that, nearing thirty, he is still a virgin.

Over the years, Chen Muyuan has had plenty of women take an interest in him, but none has truly caught his eye.

So when the people around him find out he's now married, they're all astonished.

A friend asks Chen Muyuan what it's like to be married.

He says, "Suddenly, I have something to look forward to in life."
