After Signing a Dating Agreement with the Campus Heartthrob

At seventeen, Sang Yu received a diagnosis of terminal cancer. In the final days of his life, he realized he had never even held a girl's hand. It felt like a shame to have never been in love. Even a fake relationship would do. So Sang Yu decided to find someone to play at being young lovers with, and set his sights on Xie Mujiang, the cold and aloof top student and school heartthrob. #IfWe'reDoingThis,Let'sGoBig# They're both straight, so there's no chance they'll catch real feelings. Perfect plan. √ * One morning, Xie Mujiang stood by the wall, writing down the names of students who had climbed over it and arrived late. He looked up to see the school's notorious bully sitting on top of the wall, a Band-Aid on his face, his brows full of swagger and a lazy, carefree smile on his lips. "Hey, wanna date?" Xie Mujiang wrote his name with a cold expression. "You're late." Before he could finish writing, a rose fell into his arms. Sang Yu: "Shh, it's a bribe." * After they "got together," Sang Yu wrote up a list of relationship rules. 1. Three-month term. 2. Do what couples do, like saying good morning and good night, going to school together, and dating. But Sang Yu gradually realized Xie Mujiang was going way beyond the rules. Why were they holding hands, hugging, and even sharing a bed?! * After learning that his cancer diagnosis was a mistake, Sang Yu was so flustered his scalp tingled. He held his phone, unsure how to tell Xie Mujiang. Xie Mujiang sent him three glossy brochures for upscale cemeteries and asked, "Which one do you want?" Sang Yu: "..." Can't I have none of them?
