Chapter 1: Prologue

Prologue

"Are you free tonight? Dr. Meng, accompany me for dinner, and then..."

"No. Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Are you free tonight? Dr. Meng, let's have a meal together. How about it?"

"I have a surgery tonight. Look at me, where would I find the time?"

"You definitely have time tonight. I've already asked the director; you have neither surgery nor are you on duty. Let's have a meal together, shall we?"

Meng Su lifted his head, leaned back against his chair, and looked at the bright face standing at the door. A forced smile played on the corners of his mouth, and a dull ache throbbed in his heart.

"Luo Li, I... I can't."

"Hey, how can a man easily say he can't? Let's do this: seven o'clock tonight, Wangyue Tower. Don't be late."

Meng Su watched her graceful figure skipping away, and his heart began to bleed.

Meng Su belonged to the elite among losers—short, ugly, and broke. Through four years of university and two years of graduate school,

he had tried countless ways to start a romance, but whether it was a senior or a junior, the moment they saw his 1.7-meter height, they basically turned around and left.

The era Meng Su lived in was a highly developed future civilization; the average height for girls was 1.75 meters, and boys were basically all over 1.8 meters.

Meng Su was only 1.7 meters. Being 1.7 meters was one thing, but he was also thin, without two taels of meat on his entire body. For many years, Meng Su had been nearly desperate for love, and now, Meng Su's spring had arrived.

Since entering this hospital, Meng Su had been extremely low-key, speaking no more than ten sentences a day, working diligently, and attending to every matter, big or small, himself.

Meng Su's low profile was just to avoid having any interaction with others as much as possible.

But it was precisely this somber demeanor that attracted the attention of this Luo Li. Luo Li was a surgical intern,

currently Meng Su's assistant, and was completely infatuated with Meng Su's unfathomable nature.

Luo Li was sharp-tongued and bold. She dared to love and hate. Since she liked him, she launched a fierce pursuit.

In a private room on the top floor of Wangyue Tower, Luo Li hadn't even finished one glass of red wine, while Meng Su had already wiped out half the dishes on the table.

Luo Li set down her glass and looked in surprise at Meng Li, who was burying his head in eating: "Dr. Meng, how long has it been since you've eaten? Can't you

lift your head and look at me? Am I ugly? Are you afraid I'll scare you?"

Meng Su didn't even lift his head, downing the wine in his glass in one gulp. Then he poured himself another, and then, like a cow drinking, he tilted his head back and poured it in. Then he continued to pour. Then he downed it. A bottle of wine was finished very quickly.

Meng Su turned his head, picked up another bottle from under the table, opened it with a 'pop', and continued to down it.

Luo Li pressed down on the hand Meng Su was using to lift the glass: "Dr. Meng, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself drunk to fulfill me?"

Having drunk a bottle of wine, Meng Su seemed to have gained a bit of courage. He looked at Luo Li softly and sadly and said: "Dr. Luo, let me tell you a secret: I really can't."

Luo Li: "Pfft, even if you don't like me, don't use that excuse. You, a dignified neurosurgeon, can't? Who would believe that?"

Meng Su stood up from the dining chair, walked over to Luo Li, and signaled for her to stand up.

Luo Li stood up, looking completely bewildered.

Meng Su, his face slightly flushed, pulled Luo Li into his arms.

Although Luo Li was sharp-tongued, she was also a bit shy, and her face instantly flushed red.

Luo Li heard Meng Su's soft words in her ear: "If you don't believe me, you can try."

Luo Li's sharp-tongued nature kicked in, and she reached out to touch him quickly.

Luo Li was stunned.

Meng Su let go of Luo Li, walked slowly to his seat, packed his things, and prepared to leave.

Luo Li stood frozen, shocked, sympathetic, and incredulous.

"How did it happen? Born that way? An accident?"

Meng Su gave a bitter smile: "Would you believe me if I said I castrated myself?"

Luo Li: "Of course I don't believe it."

Meng Su revealed a reminiscent expression: "That was the summer a year ago..."

Meng Su stopped speaking and looked at Luo Li.

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly, why are you keeping me in suspense?"

"I had a dream, and when I woke up, I became like this." ===== CHAPTER 2 =====

"I had a dream, and after waking up, I became like this."
