The innocent youths in the squad often marveled at their tiny doctor, “In the future, whenever we are looking for a partner, we need to find someone like Ying Huan – obedient, well-behaved, and extremely good at coaxing and humoring people……”
Only Xu Jing Yu – the only person who continuously teased Ying Huan until Ying Huan bordered on retaliation – knew, that Ying Huan was a true blue enchantress.
After successfully defending his championship title, Xu Jing Yu was asked during the post-match interview, “Based on my sources, I understand that, as preparation for every single match which you participate in, you maintain an extremely strict and disciplined regime, and do not indulge in any vices or distracting activities which may cause you to suffer even the slightest drop or decrease in your mental or physical state for a month prior to the match – is this true?”
With his face peppered with various bruises, and with droplets of blood flowing from the cuts on his brows and the corner of his lips, Xu Jing Yu smiled as he looked at the camera, “It’s true.”
At that time, Ying Huan was standing on the fringes of the crowd surrounding Xu Jing Yu, with an indifferent and cool expression etched on her face.
Ying Huan’s friends who were present at the match were filled with curiosity, and edged over to Ying Huan, “Is that really true? King Jing, the man who is overflowing with charisma and hormones – can he truly control himself (and his urges) and remain disciplined for one entire month?”
Ying Huan fell silent.
Ying Huan’s friends interpreted her silence as an admission of King Jing‘s disciplined nature, and sighed in pity, “Ah, what a waste – although you managed to land yourself an extremely handsome boyfriend, you’re only able to look at him without being able to eat him.”
Ying Huan: “……”
No, no – she wasn’t making any tacit admission of any sort, she was merely caught up in thinking, how many times he broke his “vows” that night?

It's been a while since I read Interminable Affection 戒不掉的喜欢 by 陌言川 Mo Yan Chuan, so my memory might be slightly hazy, but I do recall this novel being fairly sweet with little to no angst. This novel details the relatively wholesome romance between our diabetically sweet, polite, good-hearted Ying Huan, the "intern doctor" of the boxing club, and the slightly aggressive, manly, and confident Xu Jing Yu, the champion of the boxing club - and surprisingly, despite Ying Huan's soft nature, and Xu Jing Yu's harder, more steely nature, the romance is (thankfully) equal and both are truly respectful and understanding of each other's wishes and goals - for instance, despite facing pressure from Xu Jing Yu's mum, Ying Huan remains staunchly confident in Xu Jing Yu's decision regarding his own career path, and does not, in any way, try to dissuade him from undertaking such a physically taxing and injurious career path. On a side note, it is also great to read about a man who excels in his field, who is truly a shining star, and yet, at the same time, is able to maintain a good, level head on his shoulders without being overly cocky, or rude, or "cold" to every single person other than the female lead (as male leads are prone to do in fluffy romance novels).
All in all, an extremely easy read, with great characterization - although admittedly, it is nothing to shout home about (and will not be winning great literature prizes), it still serves as a lovely, wonderful read for lazy afternoons when one is looking for that dose of sweet, healthy relationships.
