Sorry, There Was a Mix-Up

He Youyang is 29, unmarried, single, and not exactly young anymore. She has money, free time, and good looks, but still can't escape her family's relentless matchmaking pressure.

To placate her elders, she hurriedly rented a college student online to pretend to be her boyfriend and come home with her for the New Year.

She never expected him to be tall, long-legged, and handsome, with an elegant, otherworldly air untouched by worldly concerns. His scholarly aura made her feel like a vulgar nouveau riche with her sports car. No wonder he was a graduate student at a prestigious university.

That thousand yuan was money very well spent, more than worth the price. The only issue was how slowly he was dawdling by the campus gate. Their agreed time had already passed by five minutes, and he was still strolling along.

Honestly! Impatient He Youyang immediately marched over in her high heels, grabbed him, and pulled him straight into her red Porsche under the astonished eyes of students and faculty.

“Sorry, miss...”

“Come on, we're running late. Get in and we can talk.”

She closed the car door, floored the accelerator, and sped off...

Her “boyfriend” was excellent, and her parents and elders were indeed pleased with him. He Youyang affectionately took his hand as they left the restaurant. Just as she was about to pay him the rest, she saw several unread messages on her phone from an hour ago.

[College Student: Big Sis, Big Sis, where are you? Sorry, my advisor pulled me aside to help with something just before I left.]

[College Student: Big Sis, are you still there? I can't see you.]

He Youyang: ...

Wait, then who was she holding hands with right now?!

Yan Sheng entered the country's top university at 16, returned from studying overseas at 28, and became the youngest professor at a top university. He majored in mathematics and minored in philosophy, a true genius.

His only sore point was his youthful face. His own students kept mistaking him for a classmate, giving Professor Yan plenty of headaches throughout his teaching career.

Like right now. A girl who was far too familiar grabbed his hand and pulled him into her car before he could refuse, then somehow took him to meet her family.

Only afterward did she finally realize something was wrong and say, mortified:

“Oh, sorry. I got the wrong person.”

Watching her bright, playful, embarrassed face, Yan Sheng's ears quietly turned red. For the first time in his life, he lied. “Mm. Maybe you didn't get the wrong person.”
