Because Xie Yao creates online content, she chooses to rent off campus for university. A crooked agent tricks her into renting a subdivided room.
One day, she accidentally hears her neighbor's... ragged breathing.
So startled that her face stays red all night, she cannot sleep.
The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, she knocks on his door, hoping to tactfully ask him to take it easy.
But the man who opens the door is strikingly handsome, cool and aloof, not at all like someone with an insatiable appetite. He asks her, expressionless, what she wants.
She can't help finding him tempting.

Every night, Xie Yao can hear Yan Yixun breathing heavily. The man seems to prefer the early hours of the morning, probably because of work stress. Sometimes it goes on nonstop until one or two.
After listening with a flushed face for half a month, she thinks, Help, I really want to get a taste of him.
But the man is so aloof that whenever they meet, he only gives her a faint nod.
While running her account, Xie Yao starts diligently pursuing him and, on a private account, sheepishly records her progress.
[Help, I'm so worried. My crush is like this every day. Is he going to have problems? What if I finally win him over and he can't perform? I'll have to nourish him back to health!]
[Oh no, I tried to sound him out today, and my crush's face went green. There was no sound last night, either!]
[Boohoo, he's ignoring me now www]
Later, people online uncover the private account.

Yan Yixun has no interest in love by nature. Under stress from work, his body still needs release, so he takes care of it himself. He hates his urges.
Then one day, the neighbor across the hall knocks on his door. Blushing, she keeps bringing him all sorts of homemade snacks. Some are good, but some are just... bizarre.
His colleagues ask if he has a girlfriend. Yan Yixun frowns.
"Didn't you ask me a while ago how to put something tactfully? You even asked a gynecologist how to treat menstrual cramps, and there's more..."
His expression darkens. He really has no idea that he's been running errands for his neighbor all this time.
Meanwhile, Xie Yao is miserable.
She has been chasing her crush for so long, and she still hasn't gotten to eat him up.
In a fit of anger, she starts breathing heavily herself that night.
Bonus Scene:
One day, Xie Yao is chatting with her high school best friend.
"I mean, you're just too lazy to cook snake."
Yan Yixun's mouth twitches. "Cook. Snake. To eat?"
He looks down at the dessert she has just placed in his palm.
That really is bizarre.
