I Wasn't Looking for Love

My next novel is Who Takes Whom for a Substitute?

Blurb:

Zhao Jinqiao was eighteen and had never dated anyone. One day, her roommate dragged her to the art studio to sneak a peek at an upperclassman.

She wasn't interested in the guy her roommate liked, but the moment she saw He Qingyuan, she was stunned by his beauty.

They got caught spying, and her roommate pushed her forward to take the blame. "There's someone here she likes!"

The guy seemed to suddenly understand, then looked inside. "He Qingyuan, come out! There's a girl who says she likes you!"

Zhao Jinqiao protested, "That's not me! I don't! Don't make things up!"

But it was too late. He was already standing right in front of her.

It was Zhao Jinqiao's first crush, and her world fell apart. Her thoughts turned impure, and she fled in a panic.

That night, Zhao Jinqiao dreamed about He Qingyuan...

He Qingyuan was a famous figure at A University, a talented oil painter, exceptionally handsome and aloof, with a crowd of girls trailing after him.

But rumor had it that this oil painting prodigy was famously hard to win over. From freshman to sophomore year, he'd had countless admirers, who'd tried every trick in the book on him, but he remained unmoved.

Zhao Jinqiao fell for He Qingyuan and cautiously tested the waters before confessing.

"He Qingyuan... would you be willing to date me?"

"I would."
