I Mistook My Blind Date, and the Scheming Professor Took Me Home

[Both leads are each other's first and only + sweet romance + healing + age gap]

[The sharp-tongued, soft-hearted little hedgehog Xu Chun Vs. Professor Gu, the ideal man who says one thing but does another]

A fortune-teller warned Xu Chun to be especially careful when she turned twenty. Xu Chun was easygoing and had long since forgotten the warning, only vaguely remembering that the fortune-teller had said she would have a run of bad luck that year, then meet a benefactor...

Sure enough, as soon as she turned twenty, one disaster after another struck. Xu Chun waited and waited, only for things to get even worse...

First, she mistook someone else for her blind date and drenched him with a glass of water.

Then she overslept, got caught skipping class, and lost all thirty points of her participation grade.

Then she crashed her shared bicycle into a car. Looking at the scraped paint and her own swollen foot, Xu Chun threw her head back and sighed. When would this wretched bad luck finally end?

But gradually, she realized someone else was just as unlucky as she was.

The person who got splashed, caught skipping class, and falsely accused of causing an accident was the same guy...

All right, Xu Chun thought she had figured out the secret of the universe. Maybe she'd have better luck if she stayed away from that equally unlucky man?

One day, the unlucky man cornered her against a wall. His warm breath brushed her ear, and when she turned away, he held her chin and made her face him again. In a low voice, he asked, word by word, “Avoiding me?”

Xu Chun's heart pounded. Her eyes darted away, and her legs went weak. What was happening to her?

She couldn't help sighing. Help! She couldn't shake this bad luck!
