Girl pursues boy | College campus | Older man | Sweet romance
Cold, quiet guy who hates small talk x adorable, chatty girl
Qiao Sui was taking a substitute class for the first time. She'd finally landed a client, and her mind was full of the joy of making money.
She went to class full of enthusiasm, answered attendance for her client, eagerly answered questions to earn participation points, and helped her client make a good impression on the teacher.
Qiao Sui thought that with all her enthusiasm, this client had to be very satisfied. Maybe the good word of mouth would even bring her more clients.
But she didn't expect everyone around her to cover their mouths and laugh.
She didn't understand why, but dutifully answered the teacher's questions.
When she saw the teacher push up his glasses in satisfaction, she felt it had all been worth it.
After getting paid, she thought her first job had ended perfectly.
The next day, a voice call woke her from a lazy morning dream.
"Who is this?"
"Cheng Shiyu."
Qiao Sui vaguely remembered him. He seemed to be her client.
"What's wrong?"
"You really have to ask? Why were you so eager in class? Can't you even do a substitute's job properly?"
"Huh?"
"The teacher thought I was the substitute and kicked me out."

Qiao Sui had never been in love, but when she saw the client who'd earned her her first paycheck, she suddenly felt as if she were drifting into a whirlpool of love.
The man had broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a tall, lean build. He was so handsome he looked like he had stepped out of a comic.
"Hi, senior. I'm..."
The man looked angry. "You're the one who took my class?"
Startled, Qiao Sui took a step back, twisting the hem of her skirt between her fingers.
"Here are your books and workbook. From now on, you'll be Cheng Shiyu in this class."
Qiao Sui took the textbooks, heavy as bricks, and looked at the man, unsure what to say.
"What? Want to take my other classes too?"
Qiao Sui shook her head. "Senior, I actually wanted to ask, do you have a girlfriend?"
Cheng Shiyu: "?"

Later, everyone at school knew Qiao Sui was pursuing Cheng Shiyu.
Everyone bet she wouldn't succeed, convinced she just wasn't his type.
At the graduation ceremony, Cheng Shiyu was surrounded by people wanting photos with him, but he walked straight through the noisy crowd and went to the girl.
In full view of everyone, he placed his graduation cap on her head.
Then he bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Senior, isn't this a little inappropriate?"
"Trying to back out now? Too late."
