Nothing But Joy

With you, from the first flutter of my heart to our golden years.

In the first impressions of Lu Yining's roommates,

Xiang Weichu was a handsome, plump guy who weighed nearly two hundred pounds.

But when Lu Yining first saw Xiang Weichu,

all she noticed were his clear, dark eyes.

One look, and her heart blossomed.

At the mixer,

her roommate asked, “Yining, do you like the hottest guy here?”

Lu Yining blushed, her heart racing. “Yes.”

Then everyone watched as she walked past a handsome guy with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and shyly went to stand beside Xiang Weichu.

Everyone: ???

What's wrong with her eyes?!

Later, every girl in Dorm 1515 came to admire Lu Yining's taste.

Xiang Weichu is a refined, courteous man who never puts on airs.

Keeping a low profile is his motto.

But a man with a girlfriend has no business keeping a low profile!

A fat guy?

He was just having fun being fat. He'd been handsome since childhood.

An architecture student who's nothing special?

People who saw his casual sketches called him amazing. He's a top student!

So what if he's talented? He's still poor, right?

Poor? He's from an architecture family, and a fortune from his grandfather is waiting for him to inherit!

[Bonus Scene]

Lu Yining was the first to take a step in their relationship,

but Xiang Weichu was the first to confess.

After he confessed-

Lu Yining: “Can we keep our relationship secret? I can't give you a title just yet...”

Xiang Weichu: “...”

In the eyes of everyone at No. 1 High School, Gu Yuan, the city's top student in the high school entrance exam, and his deskmate Chi Yu were far too close. It was only a matter of time before they became a couple.

Chi Yu's friends also said that all they needed was to break through the last barrier between them.

But after the college entrance exams, Gu Yuan cut off all contact with Chi Yu.

They meet again nine years later, when Gu Yuan has become Chi Yu's boss.

At their first encounter, Chi Yu greets Gu Yuan, but he asks her who she is.

Just as Chi Yu decides he no longer remembers her,

they meet again, and Gu Yuan greets her first: “Chi Yu, long time no see!”

Chi Yu: “...” Pretending not to recognize him.

Gu Yuan: “It's me, Gu Yuan.”

Chi Yu keeps pretending. “Oh, it's you. I really didn't recognize you.”

Gu Yuan's mother tells him to go on a blind date. Gu Yuan says, “My wife has to have the surname Chi, the Chi in famous throughout the world.”

His mother is delighted. “What a coincidence, the girl has that surname.”

When they meet, Chi Yu is dumbfounded. “I didn't know it was you.”

Gu Yuan smiles at her. “I knew it was you.”

Not long after, Gu Yuan pulls Chi Yu into his arms and kisses her.

When he confesses, his voice catches slightly. “Chi Yu, I still like you.”
