Down-to-earth title: "I Accidentally Kissed My Cold-Faced Neighbor and Now He Won't Leave Me Alone" 😋

Spirited, mischievous girl × arrogant, sharp-tongued man|A chaste, fiery man who says one thing and does another, then gets face-slapped and falls hard|The aloof beauty comes down from her pedestal

After quitting her job, Ren Jinyou was finally enjoying a long-awaited vacation. She never expected that the fish she’d just bought at the market would be stolen by the neighbor on the other side of the wall. But when she went over to confront him, she discovered the thief wasn’t the aloof, cold-faced man who always acted so superior. It was his... cat.

Even more unexpectedly, the post where she casually complained about it went viral. A brand even approached her about an ad deal. Was this bizarrely timed second spring in her career for real? She’d planned to keep her distance from the sharp-tongued screenwriter, but she changed her mind. Viral post, here I come!

Si Xu has none of the admirable qualities people associate with goodness or humility. He has a strong need for order and hates interacting with people, so naturally he and Ren Jinyou can't stand each other.

He seems to indulge Ren Jinyou in everything, but he's only trying to keep her placated so she won't damage his reputation. As for preparing her three meals a day, that's just because he's afraid she'll spit in his food. Si Xu is certain everything is under his control, until a drunk Ren Jinyou accidentally kisses him...

A germaphobe like him swore he'd never touch another person's saliva. Ren Jinyou has sullied the chastity of his lips. Furious and mortified, Si Xu decides to get back at her.

How?

Kiss her back.

After becoming absorbed in their intimacy again and again, Ren Jinyou realizes something is wrong and decides to make her getaway. But Si Xu, who had so emphatically insisted he would never sleep with anyone, clings to her instead.

Si Xu, who has guarded his chastity for over twenty years, closes his eyes in anguished resignation. "If you really want to, then go ahead and defile me."

0. Writing is hard work. Readers who pirate the story, please don't comment, or the subscription rate will be visible.

1. The main characters are delightfully unhinged. Readers who enjoy nitpicking the heroine are not welcome. (I was being paranoid! There hasn't been a single one ☺️ Everyone's been lovely and funny. Please enjoy the chapter comments. Note from 2026.8.23.)

2. The male lead is tsundere and sharp-tongued. He'll soon go from giving her the cold shoulder to acting like a dog, then to being all over her.

3. The characters are not based on real people. Do not mention or compare them to any real-life people in the comments. Do not mention other authors' works or characters here, and do not mention my works or characters in other authors' comment sections.

Inspired in October 2022, drafted in July 2024. There are lots of screenshots.

(The odd-looking commas in the main text are caused by Jinjiang's anti-piracy feature, not typos by the author.)

Theme: A story that takes place during this vacation.
