[Two male leads + sweet campus romance + scheming top student × passionate cutie + mutual pining + no angst, all sweetness]
Lu Xingyuan pursued Shen Zhiheng for three whole years.
From the moment he bumped into Shen Zhiheng’s arms during freshman orientation, he was completely smitten. He brought him breakfast for three years and lent him his notes for three years. His confessions were interrupted eight times, but each setback only made him more determined to melt that iceberg.
No one knew that Shen Zhiheng, the aloof, abstinent computer science genius who kept everyone at arm’s length, was secretly a scheming, haughty little brat.
He accepted Lu Xingyuan’s breakfasts, secretly kept the little portraits Lu Xingyuan drew of him, and quietly stepped in whenever someone gave him a hard time, all while stubbornly pretending not to care.
Then Lu Xingyuan’s childhood friend suddenly arrived at A University to teach, and Lu Xingyuan stopped orbiting around him.
Shen Zhiheng was consumed by jealousy. He ditched his aloof persona, secretly engineered chance encounters, and competed with Lu Xingyuan’s childhood friend behind the scenes. Even his roommates were stunned. “Shen, aren’t you tired of pretending?”
On the autumn outing, Shen Zhiheng watched Lu Xingyuan leaning close to his childhood friend as they chatted and laughed. Unable to take it any longer, he dragged Lu Xingyuan into the woods, his voice hoarse and forceful. “Lu Xingyuan, I’ve liked you for three years! Are you blind?”
Lu Xingyuan was dumbfounded, tears instantly spilling from his eyes. “W-what did you say? I’ve been pursuing you for three years!”

No angst, no heartbreak, just sweetness from beginning to end. Their feelings are mutual without any contrived drama, their families are supportive, and their friends are great wingmen. Staying up late to read this one is worth it! ❤️
I really hope that Lin Quan will take the lead. It's so cute to have a good relationship with Zhu Ma. Can Lin Quan be the male lead? 😂
