An Ordinary Beauty

Xie Yun had been told he was "good-looking" ever since he was a child.

He never thought someone would one day describe him this way: "Xie Yun? He's good-looking, but boring!"

His new online dating partner, whom he'd just met in person, actually said that. When Xie Yun showed interest, the other guy neither accepted nor rejected him, then talked behind his back. Now that was what you called boring!

Xie Yun promptly blocked him to his face, slapping him in the face. The guy got angry with embarrassment and spread that description all over campus, until people from other schools made a special trip to see just how good-looking Xie Yun was.

What a terrible start to his first love!

As if things couldn't get any worse, the very next day, the campus heartthrob, senior Yuan Jing, suddenly confessed to Xie Yun.

Senior Yuan Jing was handsome and academically gifted, with outstanding athletic ability. Teachers and students adored him, and younger boys and girls idolized him... He excelled in every way and drew plenty of attention.

Xie Yun didn't want to attract any more attention, so he rejected him on the spot. Or at least, he tried. It didn't work at all.

Senior Yuan Jing was confident and assertive, talking to him as though they were close. Xie Yun really wasn't good at dealing with that type. And yet he'd liked someone with a similar personality in a game. Turns out he'd been all talk.

Xie Yun worked up the courage to tell Senior Yuan Jing what bothered him. To his surprise, the senior readily changed his ways. He wasn't so bad after all!

As time went by, Xie Yun gradually realized that Senior Yuan Jing not only listened humbly to feedback, but was also methodical. Whenever he helped Xie Yun with school or daily life, he always arranged everything perfectly. And his occasional assertiveness felt more like a gentle insistence.

Xie Yun: I flat-out said I wasn't interested in him. Now what am I supposed to say?

While fretting over it, he found out Senior Yuan Jing's account in the game.

He was thrilled, and even more worried at the same time!

How was he supposed to explain?

The truth was, he'd already started to like Senior Yuan Jing. He'd just mistaken someone else for his online dating partner.

The person he'd once fallen for so passionately turned out to be the one who made him feel safest: Senior Yuan Jing.
