Dear Conch Boy

Blurb: [Straightforward, secretly sulky younger wolf-dog type x career-minded, flirtatious older sister]

This is a romantic adventure involving a conch girl. After falling for a tour guide who never stays in one place, he can only follow her from place to place. He even has to act like a scheming green tea, play the victim, and get jealous like crazy as he drives away the people coveting her. Every morning, he wakes up to a version of the Asura battlefield conjured in his imagination.

Ever since Luo Congshan realized that Chi Moxuan liked her, she had watched him perform with leisurely amusement every time. She knew that the best hunters often appear as prey, and she had fished the conch boy into a pout.

They say that if you hold a conch to your ear, you can hear the faint sound of waves.

Get close to a conch person, and you can hear the waves crashing in their heart

Some people may seem like outgoing younger brothers, but who knows how much thought they put into getting close to you.

Take Chi Moxuan, for example. Unfortunately, he was so good at keeping up appearances that even when Luo Congshan got close to him, she barely noticed his feelings.

That is, until the mighty waves came crashing in and the conch boys began vying for her, sounding the charge.

Luo Congshan became a tour guide as soon as she graduated.

To save up for a trip abroad with her grandmother, she took tour groups for an entire month without a break. She not only broke the travel agency's all-time record for leading tours, but also succeeded in landing herself in the hospital.

"Luo Congshan, is this how you take care of yourself?"

Chi Moxuan rushed to the hospital and glared at Luo Congshan as she lay there with an IV drip, furious.

Luo Congshan smiled sheepishly. "I thought I could hold out. It's fine, I'll be okay after a little rest. I can still lead tours."

"You must be trying to get yourself killed. Tours, tours, tours. Is there anything else in your head?" Chi Moxuan grew even angrier.

"There's you! Xiao Xuan, my darling Xuan-Xuan, I'm really fine. Don't be mad!" Luo Congshan rarely resorted to acting cute.

Chi Moxuan's expression softened, but he still kept a stern face. "Sweet talk won't work. You need to rest for at least half a month, or I'll go on the tours with you and take care of you."

Luo Congshan said guiltily, "Don't you have a mock trial to attend? And I already promised the tour coordinator..."

"I handed it over to the vice president. What's the tour coordinator's number?" Chi Moxuan snatched her phone and found the number. "Is it this one?"

Looking at Chi Moxuan's dark expression, Luo Congshan could only nod.

A younger man who won't call you Sis has a wild streak.

Chi Moxuan got jealous out of nowhere again, looking wounded as he demanded, "Luo Congshan, who do you like, me or my brother?"

Tired of being asked, Luo Congshan simply kissed him.

Chi Moxuan secretly rejoiced, but after savoring the kiss, he asked plaintively, "What about Lu Jinyan? You even took wedding photos with him!"

Aaaah... This infuriating man...

Luo Congshan shot him a sidelong glance. "Fine, fine, I'll go take wedding photos with you right now! Happy?"

Only then was Chi Moxuan satisfied. He cuddled up to her and acted cute.
