The Years We Lived Together

Coming soon: Could You Please Smile at Me?

Blurb:

As the biggest workaholic in the engineering department, Zhou Shanjing often stayed up late tapping away at his keyboard, earning complaints from all his roommates. With no other choice, he moved out of the dorm and rented a place near campus, enjoying a carefree life on his own.

Then one day, his landlady foisted a roommate on him.

The new roommate was picky, kept a regular schedule, and had all sorts of rules: everything had to go back where it belonged, he had to go to bed by eleven, and no more typing away at the keyboard late into the night...

Zhou Shanjing couldn't get along with him. He opposed him openly and behind his back, yet kept giving in and accommodating him.

Then one day, after a fight, his roommate slammed the door and stormed out. Zhou Shanjing threw his beloved keyboard on the floor and dropped to his knees without hesitation.

Coming soon: Could You Please Smile at Me?

Lin Xiao is 186 centimeters tall, ranks first in his grade, and has a handsome face that charms countless upperclassmen and underclassmen. He's a bona fide campus heartthrob. But his cold, distant personality has earned him the title of "the unattainable flower blooming atop an iceberg" at Baima City Experimental High School.

The campus belle has been in love with him for ages. Even though he keeps turning down her confessions, she still believes that one day her sincerity will move even a stone. Unable to take any more of her persistence, Lin Xiao decides to put an end to it and says, "I already like someone."

The campus belle: "I don't believe you. There's no one you like. You're just saying that to make me give up."

"..."

So Lin Xiao blurts out the first name that comes to mind: "Zhou Xiaoling. The person I like is Zhou Xiaoling."

To his surprise, the campus belle says nothing. She just looks at him silently, with a strange expression.

The next day, he notices that it seems like everyone at school is looking at him with the same odd expression.

He has no idea why.

Until one day, a clean-cut, delicate-looking boy who seems very well-behaved comes up to him and says through gritted teeth, "Why do you have to like me?!"

That's when Lin Xiao realizes:

Holy crap, Zhou Xiaoling is a guy!!!

Handsome cool guy x little ray of sunshine
