[Campus] + [Sweet romance] + [Contract dating] + [Secret crush becomes mutual] + [Both fall for each other] + [Top students] + [Campus beauty]
Everyone at A University knew there were two academic stars: Gu Yanchen, the icy department heartthrob from Computer Science, and Su Moyu, the spirited, gifted beauty from Chinese Literature.
They had never had anything to do with each other, until a photo of their accidental “kiss of the century” went viral on the campus forum.
The headline read: #TheIcebergHasMelted,TheCampusPowerCoupleIsOfficial#
To quell the rumors, Gu Yanchen approached Su Moyu and proposed, “Let’s date on a contract for a month. Once the rumors die down, we can part on good terms.”
Su Moyu: “...That’s actually a thing? Fine.”
But can someone explain why, after they started fake dating, this cool, aloof top student began acting more and more like a clingy, needy big dog around her?
He brings her favorite sweet-and-sour pork ribs at the cafeteria, saves her the best seat in the library, waits for her outside the dorm with an umbrella when it rains, and even quietly brings her hot brown sugar and ginger tea when she has cramps...
Only belatedly does Su Moyu catch on: “Gu Yanchen, are you pretending to be obedient to win me over?”
Gu Yanchen’s gaze deepens, the corner of his lips lifting. “Yes. I’ve won you over, so no returns.”
