Heng Yi bet someone that he would find himself a relationship within a month.
To make it happen, he set his sights on the handsome, gentle campus heartthrob:
Buying him breakfast, giving him presents, asking him out.
A week later, he confessed, full of anticipation.
Then the other boy turned him down, looking hesitant.
His reason was:
"I'm sorry. I really like you, but it seems like you don't like me. I can't say yes."
Heng Yi: "?"
No problem. The heartthrob must just have too many principles. He'd try someone else.
Heng Yi's second target was the school bully, rumored to have plenty of romantic experience.
This time, Heng Yi decided to change his strategy.
He bashfully confessed to the 190-centimeter-tall bully, who had a buzz cut and an impatient look on his face, as if he might stub out the cigarette in his hand on Heng Yi at any moment.
Smack.
The cigarette fell from the bully's hand.
Once again, Heng Yi saw the same hesitation he'd seen on the heartthrob's face.
"I can't give you a future right now. Say yes to me when I can."
Heng Yi: "?" Who asked you to give me a future! I want to date now!
Heng Yi's third target was the aloof, arrogant top student.
This time, Heng Yi thought it over for a long while and decided to take things step by step.
He walked up to the top student's desk with a practice test in hand.
The top student didn't even look up. "I'm busy."
Heng Yi opened his mouth to say something.
The top student glanced at him. "Get the highest grade in the year, and I'll say yes."
Heng Yi: "..."
Is this even fair?
After being turned down three times in a row, Heng Yi was utterly discouraged.
Just as he was about to lose the bet, his deskmate, who usually acted as if nothing concerned him, suddenly stopped him after school.
"They all turned you down. Can you confess to me now?"
-
Chi Gui had been in love with Heng Yi for a long time.
To that end, he'd set things up so Heng Yi would take the bet.
Everything went exactly as he'd imagined. Chi Gui watched with satisfaction as Heng Yi carefully prepared gifts and flowers, waiting for him to come and confess.
But...
He watched Heng Yi walk over to the heartthrob and was dumbfounded.
Thankfully, the heartthrob didn't accept.
...It was fine. Heng Yi must just have wanted to challenge himself!
Chi Gui continued to secretly watch Heng Yi, waiting for him to confess.
The second time... it was the school bully.
The third time... the top student.
Chi Gui finally couldn't take it any longer. He decided to make the first move.
