One-sided male crush / neighbors / size difference
Lively and a little slow on the uptake x reserved, jealous sweetheart (a mother-hen)
Fresh out of college, Zhu An rents a run-down old apartment.
But she's convinced the place is astrologically incompatible with her.
The night she moves in, the water pipe bursts without warning, drenching her from head to toe.
Like a drowned rat, she has no choice but to crouch outside her neighbor's door and use her phone flashlight to dig half of a “plumbing repairs” flyer out from under a whole stack of advertisements.
At that moment, Zhu An is so moved she almost bursts into tears. This is her salvation.
But the next second, the door opens from the inside.
A broad, solid chest muscles straight into her line of sight, completely covering the half-flyer.
Dazed, Zhu An looks up and meets a familiar face.
It's Lin Yunian, her senior from college, the campus heartthrob rumored to have launched a thriving business after graduation.
In her wildest dreams, she never expected to be separated from this legendary guy by only one wall.
Even more unexpected, her senior neighbor doesn't mind her barging in and even fixes the water pipe for her.
The next day after moving in, she locks her keys inside her apartment, and her phone runs out of battery at exactly the wrong time.
Zhu An stares at the locksmith flyer by the door in despair, planning to borrow a power bank and call the “salvation” number she couldn't use yesterday.
Then the elevator doors open. Her senior neighbor steps out and once again pulls her out of a desperate situation.
Salvation, salvation!
Zhu An finally understands: a neighbor is more reliable than a flyer. He's her salvation.
But she soon uncovers a shocking secret. Her senior neighbor's business failed, and now he's even poorer than she is.
She understands how important a man's pride is. She is determined to protect her senior's dignity.
To repay her handsome, kindhearted senior, who has become her new crush,
Zhu An, whose bank balance has only four digits, generously decides to treat him to food every day and help him make a comeback!
But the more she treats him, the more strangely her crush looks at her.
Wait, does he think she's... he thinks she's pursuing him?!
No, Senior! Heaven knows I really just think you're poor!
*
Lin Yunian has had a crush on someone for seven whole years.
All his previous attempts to get the other person's attention sank without a trace.
This time, he follows his friend's advice and decides to try a different approach.
Seduction.
He still fails, and the other person even mistakes him for a pauper.
Looking at Zhu An, so full of concern for him,
Lin Yunian's gaze turns dark.
Being a pauper is fine, too.
