I Hear We're a Perfect Match

Lu Lusheng has no connection to Zhou Zhiqiao, the handsome professor at the college next door. But because they're both so popular, netizens start shipping them from afar.

Lu Lusheng: Get lost. I don't like old men.

Until one day, Lu Lusheng meets Zhou Zhiqiao in person.

He's being surrounded and attacked by a group of people. With a murderous look on his face, Lu Lusheng is about to finish them off in one strike.

Zhou Zhiqiao walks over with an air of refinement. The man in gold-rimmed glasses is elegant and cool.

"Is it really appropriate for so many people to pick on a kid?"

Afterward, Zhou Zhiqiao crouches down and offers Lu Lusheng a handkerchief.

"It's getting dark, kid. You should head home."

Kid? No one's called him that in years.

Lu Lusheng grips the handkerchief, licks the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiles without a word.

Twenty-eight-year-old Zhou Zhiqiao has been too busy with work to date and is still single. Recently, he's met a guy online. They haven't met in person yet, but they get along really well.

The guy is obedient, sweet, and easy to like.

There's just one problem: he's way too obsessed with shipping couples.

And the couple he ships is Zhou Zhiqiao and Lu Lusheng.

Every so often, the guy sends him a picture edited by netizens of Zhou Zhiqiao and Lu Lusheng together.

The guy: "Everyone says they're perfect for each other. What do you think?"

Zhou Zhiqiao: "I don't think so."

The guy doesn't talk to him for three days.

Zhou Zhiqiao: ...

Zhou Zhiqiao decides some things need to be explained in person.

Everyone feels sorry that Lu Lusheng and Zhou Zhiqiao never cross paths, never knowing that where no one can see, Zhou Zhiqiao's usually cool gaze darkens and his voice turns husky. "Lying again? How should I punish you?"

Lu Lusheng: "I didn't..."

Zhou Zhiqiao: "And swearing, too. Double punishment."

The wild, cocky Lu Lusheng's ears turn scarlet. "...Fine, do whatever you want."

The title may change later, or it may become a different story. Everything will be decided when I start writing. For now, please add it to your list!

The inspiration came to me a few years ago, and I wrote this blurb in July 2021.

Theme: Believe in love. It will come.
