✨Shared-Rental Romance | The Powerful Man’s Careful Plan: Whose Heart Will It Set Racing?✨
Zhao Yingying always thought sharing a rental with her aloof, top-student friend Xue Mingyu was simply a practical way to save money.
She considered herself a good friend and kept her distance,
never realizing he had feelings for someone else. She even became his relationship counselor and third wheel.
Until the truth finally came out.
She asked softly, “When did you start liking me?”
Xue Mingyu lowered his eyes, his voice deep and tender, hiding years of restrained longing.
“That winter afternoon at the library, when I first met you.”
Zhao Yingying froze on the spot.
So all along,
she was not a bystander or a friend,
but the one person he had carefully plotted to ensnare for so long.
From watching other people’s love and heartbreak to finally seeing the truth,
she realized she was the turtle caught in his jar.
Their shared rental, spending every day together,
was her clever way to save money,
but for him, it was a grand pursuit, carefully planned and restrained for years.
