Younger man | Reunion after a long separation | He's been in love with her for years
Xu Yisui returned to China to pursue her doctorate and ended up at the same university as her brother, who was four years younger. There was also Lin Yufei, her brother's friend and roommate, who had been his close friend since high school.
At first, Xu Yisui thought: Sure, one more little brother.
Then one day, after fleeing the scene of a confession, Xu Yisui was cornered in a dim private room. The usually calm and self-possessed man was reeking of alcohol.
Her vision blocked, all she could feel was her erratic heartbeat and his warm breath by her ear.
Lin Yufei asked, "Can I only be your little brother?"

Lin Yufei single-handedly raised the computer science department's average looks. In his first year, he received countless confessions and replied to just as many with, "Sorry."
According to rumors, Lin Yufei had a first love he'd liked since high school, but not even his closest friend had ever met her. Everyone thought it was just an excuse he used to reject people because he was too proud and picky.
Xu Shiyue thought so too, until one time he came home and saw his older sister kissing Lin Yufei in his arms.
Xu Shiyue: ?
Bonus scene:
Xu Shiyue stood in the living room with his arms crossed, giving Lin Yufei a scrutinizing look. "Didn't you have a first love you've liked for ages?"
Lin Feichi gave him a strange look.
"It's Xu Yisui? Wait." Xu Shiyue belatedly realized the truth and began to fall apart. "When did you two get together? Before she went abroad? In high school???"
Lin Yufei couldn't bear to answer. "As your friend, I'm telling you: don't ask."
Xu Shiyue: You son of a bitch!!!
P.S.:
1. Older woman-younger man romance, four-year age gap.
