Three Minutes to Ten

[Sweet campus romance + secret crush + rekindled love] A sweet story with just a little angst

Cool, aloof campus beauty × rebellious, handsome campus heartthrob

Three minutes to ten, and my love for you has no end in sight.

The new neighbor next door is Jiang Yuxi, the school's new campus heartthrob.

The first time Chen Chiyu's parents were called to school was because of Jiang Yuxi.

“Is dating me really that embarrassing, Chen Chiyu?”

“Mm... yeah, it's embarrassing...”

After that day, the two never spoke again.

The day before Jiang Yuxi moved away, Chen Chiyu knocked on the door next door.

“Which school did you put down as your first choice?”

“Nanen University. What about you?”

After a long silence, Chen Chiyu said, “Eton University.”

“Didn't we agree on this? Why did you change your choice? Chen Chiyu, can't you take pity on me? I'd even be happy just to be your backup.”

Years later, they meet again by chance and end up living together, with three rules to follow.

Chen Chiyu: “One more thing: in shared spaces, no... being improperly dressed... or wearing anything too revealing...”

Jiang Yuxi: “Sure. Wouldn't want someone losing their reason to desire because they can't stop coveting my body.”

After all their interactions, Chen Chiyu finally gathers the courage to speak, his voice trembling at the end. “You... when you said before that you were after me... I want to tell you now... I really am... after you...”

“So you're trying to win me over?”

Jiang Yuxi's lips curl into a smile, his tone languid. “If you want to pursue me, you'd better hurry. I'm pretty hard to get.”
