[Youthful Campus Romance + Childhood Sweethearts + Both Exposed + Turning the Tables + Sweet Romance, No Angst]
Lin You stumbles upon a secret.
Her neighbor, Lu Chenyuan, is that perfect, aloof, and chaste older brother who seems to have stepped out of a painting. But he’s secretly been studying hypnotism.
Watching Lu Chenyuan hold a pocket watch and coax her in his deep voice, he says:
“Lin You, the person you like most right now is Lu Chenyuan.”
Lin You nods sweetly.
“Mhm, I like you best, big brother.”
When no one is around, he blushes and asks for kisses while she’s “hypnotized.” In public, he’s even more than happy to use his sly, tea-like act to fend off all her admirers.
With the pretense of being under his control, Lin You orders the untouchable heartthrob to queue up for milk tea and carry her backpack, turning the tables on him completely.
Until one day, Lin You logs into a game, ready to dominate the battlefield with her main account, the “Number One Jungler on the National Server.”
But she discovers that the pure-hearted college guy who clings to her in-game every day, calling her “Jungle Queen, carry me!” and “Babe, come cuddle!” has the exact same IP address and gameplay habits as Lu Chenyuan!
Even worse, Lu Chenyuan accidentally drops and breaks his hypnotic pocket watch.
Watching the “teasing older brother” panic and try to hypnotize her again, his eyes red with desperation, Lin You grabs his tie, pins him against the wall, and grins like a sly little fox.
“Big brother, the hypnosis has worn off.”
As Lu Chenyuan freezes in shock, she leans close to his ear, her breath soft and sweet.
“But when are you going to call me ‘Babe’ again, like you did in the game?”
