The Handsome Guy Next Door (Free)

Qiu Yu likes Lin Youbo.

She and Lin Youbo grew up together. Or rather, Lin Youbo, who was three years older, raised her.

They lived across the street from each other, and their mothers were friends, so they had known each other since childhood and were very close. When she was little and her parents were busy, Lin Youbo would often lure her over to his house for dinner. Although they were in different grades, Lin Youbo always waited for her after class so they could walk home together.

When her shoes wore out, Lin Youbo took her to buy new ones.

Lin Youbo made sure she did her homework.

He even ran to the school shop to buy her sanitary pads the first time she got her period.

But every bit of it seemed perfectly natural because she always called him "big brother," until she was in her second year of high school and Lin Youbo had started college.

Lin Youbo went to college in another province, far from home, so he could only come back during holidays.

Each time she called him for help when she felt helpless, each time she looked forward to his coming home, she suddenly realized that her feelings had changed without her noticing. From then on, Qiu Yu stopped calling him big brother.

But right before the college entrance exams, she called Lin Youbo and, as if trying to cover something up, used that title again. "Big brother, can I come see you?"

Lin Youbo: "Sure. I'll be waiting for you at Shengda."

One day, a photo of Lin Youbo feeding someone was posted on a forum, setting off a huge discussion. Everyone exclaimed that the campus heartthrob actually had a girlfriend!

Qiu Yu looked at herself in the photo and sighed. "Students these days are so hard to deal with. It's just feeding someone."

"It's just feeding someone"? Is she an idiot or what...
