Summary

[Original web title: Veterinarian; the print edition, Biting a Pear, is now available]

[The extremely socially anxious soft bun of a girl Bai Li × the alluring, restrained, and calculating veterinarian Shen An]

[Modern romance + quality fiction + urban + sweet pet + healing + mutual redemption + 1v1 + SC + HE]

Bai Li's ears burned, and her heart was beating restlessly too.

Her palms were sweaty as she whispered into the phone: "...Are you... drunk?"

"Had a little to drink."

Shen An's breath drew closer, coming through the phone as if a warm breath were brushing past Bai Li's ear. Her whole face flushed crimson, and the hand holding the phone trembled.

In her ear, his laughing voice said low, "Not so drunk that I'd mistake the person, though."

Editor's review

Bite the Pear is a contemporary urban romance with a clear premise: the extremely socially anxious Bai Li and the aloof, restrained veterinarian Shen An complete a mutual salvation as they test and draw closer to each other, ultimately reaching a one-on-one happy ending. The book's readability comes mainly from the contrast between the two personalities and the tension of their interactions—Bai Li's timidity and blushing, and Shen An's seemingly restrained but actually proactive scheming, form the main driving force of the sweet romance line. That low-laughing reply over the phone is exactly the kind of ambiguous分寸感 this genre excels at. As a work serialized online and then published in print, it suits readers seeking emotional experience rather than literary depth. There is no need to rush while reading; follow the two as they gradually lower their defenses, and the healing feeling will emerge naturally. It is suitable for reading in one go over a weekend or holiday, and also for changing your mood when tired.

  • Readers who prefer the contrast between a socially anxious heroine and a restrained hero

Not a good fit for

Reading tips

  3. Before reading, familiarize yourself with the character setup to enter Bai Li's perspective more easily.
  4. If emotionally tired, you can read it in sections as light mood-changing reading.
