[Seven-Year Age Gap + Teacher-Student Role Reversal + Two-Faced Heroine + Passionate Soccer + Sweet Daily Life]
While renting a place for his grad school entrance exam prep, Shen Yan opened the door and froze.
A woman in athletic shorts sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, eating cherries. Was that his high school English teacher, Chen Nuo?
Back then, she was the aloof "evil blunt-banged teacher" who stood high above him at the lectern. Now she was making him call her "Sis Nuo." In private, she wore camisoles, cosplayed, and was an eccentric anime-obsessed homebody.
Even more absurdly, this 28-year-old "older woman" asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend and ruin her blind date. But they were caught red-handed in a stall at an anime convention and forced to admit in front of everyone that they were in a "teacher-student relationship."
Chen Nuo had no idea that the "problem student" who'd scored 90 in English had become a 183-centimeter-tall captain of his university soccer team, with a great singing voice and clearly defined abs, and that the way he looked at her was becoming more and more suspicious.
"Sis Nuo, I'm counting on you to help me with English for my grad school entrance exam."
"Xiao Yan, come with me to a blind date on Saturday and pretend to be my boyfriend."
At the singing competition, he sang "Equal Relationship" to her.
After scoring a last-minute goal, he ran to the stands, picked her up, and spun her around.
In the bathroom, she was so startled that she threw herself into his arms. At the anime convention, she fell asleep leaning against his shoulder...
As the boundaries between teacher and student gradually crumble in their everyday life as roommates...
"Ms. Chen, I'm not asking you this as your student."
"Then what are you asking me as?"
"As a man who's pursuing you."

My roommate is my high school English teacher from back then, which is honestly a bit scary 😂 But the premise is alright. The teacher, who seems fierce on stage, is actually afraid of the dark and bugs, and loves showing off his oden (Japanese hot pot). The banter and teasing between him and Shen Yan is quite entertaining. The romance isn't artificially sweet; the ambiguity and tension feel natural, it's a slice-of-life story, not bad at all [currently in progress].
The plot flows naturally: the teacher, seven years her senior, is secretly a homebody, and the male lead goes from being her student to actively pursuing her. Their everyday interactions, where their on-screen romance turns real, are both hilarious and heartwarming. There's no forced sweetness, just everyday moments of playing soccer, singing, and playfully bickering. It's so addictive, and finishing it leaves you feeling great.
It's great! I'm keeping up with the progress!
It's a pretty good subject matter, and the writing is also quite good.
I'll tell you in the most straightforward, direct, and frank way that this book is fantastic! 🥰
It's not bad, keep it up!
The plot is captivating, and the characters are vividly portrayed!
