Lin Zhixu and Zhou Yanbai are childhood friends who live across the hall from each other.
In everyone’s eyes, they’re a match made in heaven: equally outstanding grades, equally striking looks, and futures that their teachers have high hopes for.
Only Lin Zhixu knows that she’s desperate to get into a university far from home just to get away from the guy she’s known since childhood.
The reason is simple: whenever Zhou Yanbai is around, her admirers automatically disappear.
As fate would have it, the day the college entrance exam results come out, Zhou Yanbai’s admission letter turns out to be for the same university as hers. “What a coincidence. We’re classmates again.”
Lin Zhixu: ...
Zhou Yanbai thinks his feelings for Lin Zhixu are nothing more than ordinary neighborly affection.
Until they meet again on campus. When he sees her smiling brightly at another guy, the milk tea in that guy’s hand suddenly becomes an eyesore.
That night, Zhou Yanbai corners Lin Zhixu outside her dorm, his voice edged with danger. “Didn’t you say you only act cute with me?”
Lin Zhixu blinks. “Since when did you care about that?”
Zhou Yanbai falls silent for two seconds. “...Since I noticed you’d stopped acting cute with me.”
The male lead fell for the female lead in high school and secretly loved her.
