In Love with Mr. Oblivious
Haphephobia (haf-uh-FOE-bee-uh) is an intense, overwhelming fear of being touched. Many people don't like being touched by strangers. But haphephobia is significant distress over being touched by anyone, even family or friends. For some people, the fear is specific to touch by people of one gender.
The fear of touch has chased Lan Wangji ever since he was torn away from his mother at the age of four. That was the day his parents separated. That is the last time he saw his mother alive. Now at the age of thirteen, Lan Wangji (one who is aloof to the world) lives in the library of the Lan Mansion. He is extremely well read, agoraphobic and homeschooled. He has a perfect 10 score, a perfectly groomed body, a perfectly organized room. Some would call him OCD. His doctor does. But according to his family's standards OCD is normal. On his doctor's suggestion, his uncle Lan Qiren decided to try exposure therapy to cure both of his phobias and thereby sends him to the Jianshu School of Gifted Children.
Lan Wangji sits at the last bench, eats food at the corner table and only interacts with teachers that too when his name is called. Things change when the most mischievous boy in class is late one day, sits at the last bench crowding Lan Wangji's space, takes his pen, and thanks him by patting his hand. The result- no anxiety attack, no hyperventilation, no fainting, no hives. Lan Wangji is intrigued and therein starts his next obsession- Making Wei Wuxian His.
This is a Prequel to 'Married to My Secret Billionaire Stalker'. If you haven't read the book, you can read this as a starting point. If you have read the book, expect this one to be as much fun if not more. Yes, things are going to get a bit intense because in Wei Wuxian's words Lan Wangji is the most intense person he knows. But then again, it is also going to be fun because it is still them, just much younger and plenty more oblivious.
