Why Is He Jealous Again?

[Main story complete] [My next-door novel, Where's My Cat?, is now open for favorites!]

On the day of T University's basketball tournament, Wen Nan promised she would go watch Gu Jue play, but at the last minute she accidentally ended up watching the neighboring department's game instead.

She watched all the way until the neighboring game ended.

Feeling guilty, Wen Nan tried to sneak back. The moment she turned around, she saw a tall, lean young man staring at her, radiating jealousy.

Wen Nan: "No, um, listen, let me explain..."

Gu Jue seemed to have just finished playing. His bangs hung low, damp with sweat. His eyes, usually so fond of smiling at her, suddenly darkened, and there was a trace of irritation in his voice.

Wen Nan was about to apologize when his tall figure leaned over her. His faintly sweet scent drew nearer, and she heard his restrained breathing beside her ear.

The air stilled for a few seconds. Wen Nan's ears burned as she finally heard Gu Jue speak.

His voice was no longer cool and detached as usual. It even held a hint of grievance, like a fire kindling and burning beside Wen Nan's ear.

"Sis, from now on, could you only watch me?"

Jealous puppy-like boy x sweet, cool upperclasswoman

Reading guide:

1. Both leads are each other's first, happy ending, sweet romance.

2. The leads are only a year apart, so it's not much of an older-woman-younger-man romance, but still an older-woman-younger-man romance.

3. Mainly set on a university campus.

4. No need to tell me if you drop the story. No need to tell me.

Please favorite my next novel, Where's My Cat?:

Meng Xingling found a stray cat in her neighborhood and brought it home.

Maybe the cat was used to roaming freely, and since her apartment was on the first floor, it often slipped outside. The strange thing was that it always left at a set time and came back during a set time window.

One day, curious, she followed it and ended up at someone else's door.

When the door opened, the cat rubbed against the person's leg.

"Can I help you?" he asked in a deep, pleasant voice. Only then did Meng Xingling look up and see his face.

Her gaze froze.

He was... way too handsome.

"I'm here to find my cat."

He stood with one hand in his pocket, looking relaxed and carefree. He glanced at the cat and raised an eyebrow, his voice languid.

"I thought this was my cat."

...?

So it was a sly, faithless cat, flirting with everyone.

-

The two of them went on "sharing" the cat. Meng Xingling only knew his name was Cheng Jiyan, and they had no other connection in private.

Then one day, the cat didn't return to her home long after its usual time. In a panic, she ran over and knocked on his door. He opened it, and the cat that wouldn't come home was right behind him.

Cheng Jiyan smiled, his tone casual.

"What can we do? It doesn't want to leave."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and held up his QR code for her, a lazy smile lingering at the corner of his mouth.

"How about we add each other on WeChat? Then we can keep each other updated on where he goes."

-

One day after they got together, they gave the cat a bath. The cat was afraid of water, and Cheng Jiyan had to bring out a cat treat to soothe it. But then he accidentally let something slip.

"That time, I had to use cat treats and canned food to convince it to stay, too."

Meng Xingling: ?!!

So both the cat and he were liars!!
