She's So Dumb, It's Getting to Me

[The neighboring novel, Eye-Catching, is now underway!]

[Next up: The One Next Door Is Mine! Blurb below. Please add it to your reading list~]

Story blurb:

* Cool, reserved, secretly flirtatious guy × girl with a wonderfully strange way of thinking

* Scheming and gloomy × silly little drama queen

* Mostly set at school; an extremely goofy comedy

*1 In the office, Su Chunchun spends half an hour chewing on her pen over three physics competition papers, but can't write a single word.

She glances at the handsome top student's face and gets an idea. She passes him a note, opening with the familiar online greeting: "You there?"

Ji Nian looks up and gives her a casual once-over. "Are you blind?"

Stumped for a moment, she shamelessly writes, "Want me to check your paper for you?"

When the note is passed back, the girl's handwriting, as if chewed up by a dog, catches his eye. The corner of his mouth lifts slightly, and he casually scribbles two perfunctory characters: "Not here."

Lagging internet.

A boy with a 2G connection who has a crush on someone doesn't deserve love.

*2 Later, Su Chunchun realizes she has fallen for Ji Nian and starts pursuing him.

One day, in an empty classroom, Ji Nian corners her in a cramped space.

His tall, lean frame looms over her. A careless smile plays on his sharply defined face, and he drawls in an ambiguous tone, "I hear you're pursuing me?"

She freezes, her expression plainly flustered.

The answer is obvious.

Ji Nian gives a relaxed little smile, bends down to match her height, and suddenly moves close.

Just as their lips are about to meet, he whispers in her ear, "I reject you."

Watching her go from blushing to dejected, he deliberately lowers his voice, coaxing her: "I'll give you one more chance. Pursue me again."

Her long lashes flutter as she awkwardly avoids his gaze and stammers, "Isn't... one chance a little too few?"

A girl with an unconventional imagination.

A shameless girl who pursues him openly, only just learning how precious love is.

Blurb:

[1]

Cai Wan's greatest hobby is admiring handsome men. If a guy matches her tastes, she never hesitates to compliment him.

But when she realizes she has fallen for the face-card genius living next door, she finally sees that everything has changed.

She can't get a confession out, keeps blushing, and even saying "You're so handsome" has become difficult.

So she comes up with a plan.

After downing five glasses of alcohol, she bangs hard on the door across the hall. "Hey, neighbor, I really do think you're pretty handsome!"

Before the man can speak, she cuts him off again.

Like a deflated balloon, Cai Wan says, "But the guys on the eighth and sixteenth floors above us are pretty handsome too, and so is the guy my parents set me up with. Who do you think I should choose?"

"..."

Later, Cai Wan realizes she probably can't win Xu Baicheng over. Like a coward, she quietly starts backing out, planning to end this one-sided crush.

Until one day, someone corners her in the hallway and suddenly confesses to her.

When she turns around, Xu Baicheng is leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed. He crooks a finger at her. "Hey, neighbor. Come here."

Cai Wan freezes, unable to take another step.

The man slips a hand into his pocket and walks toward her, smiling gently and seductively. "Come closer and take another look, "

"At who you should choose."

After the two get together, Xu Baicheng never shows any displeasure or concern about Cai Wan being obsessed with dating simulation games.

But one day, while browsing a certain question-and-answer site, she suddenly spots an anonymous answer.

Question: What is it like when your girlfriend loves playing dating games?

Xu Baicheng: "Thanks for the invite. It's not bad at all. I've basically got a whole harem, myself included. But at night, "

"She can only pick my card."
