Campus Heartthrob? I've Got Him in the Bag

Yu Bai was the undisputed heartthrob of the second-year liberal arts class at H City's No. 3 High School. He was handsome, popular, and well-liked.

But few people knew just how completely devoted he was.

A year ago, he caught a glimpse of his crush at a basketball game, and the guy quietly took root in his heart.

His crush was great at basketball, handsome, had a lovely singing voice, and was a good person, too.

Yu Bai fell hard and vowed to win him over.

Step One: Add him as a friend and chat often.

A cartoon avatar and cat stickers made his crush mistake him for a girl and almost avoid him.

Step Two: Learn basketball and find a shared interest.

A basketball to the head, a botched layup that knocked his crush over, and Yu Bai ended up as the assistant to the basketball team's manager.

Step Three: Invite him out for a meal during the break and open up to each other.

Yu Bai dressed up carefully but forgot to check the forecast. He got soaked and was lucky his crush took him in.

Step Four...

Step Five...

His plans kept going wrong, and he kept embarrassing himself in front of his crush.

Dejected, Yu Bai could only cry out to the heavens. But after laughing at his latest blunder, his crush pulled him into his arms.

"You idiot. I guess you can say you managed to win me over."

After suffering unfair treatment, Jiang Xingyue transferred to No. 3 High School, hoping to avoid all the romantic drama.

He never expected that among all the peach blossoms, a little green bamboo shoot would appear, waving at him nonstop.

Watching Yu Bai try harder only to have more bad luck, Jiang Xingyue couldn't help laughing. A mischievous impulse took hold: he wanted to tease Yu Bai until his face turned red.

But the more he teased him, the faster Jiang Xingyue's own heart began to race, and the way he looked at Yu Bai grew increasingly strange.

What could he do? He had no choice but to accept his fate.

--I am the fish in your river, the cypress on your mountain, destined to be captured by you.

--And you are the star I keep in my heart. I will hold you close forever.

1. I'll try to update daily, but the time will vary.

2. It's been years since the author left high school, so this is all from memory. Feel free to point out any errors, and I'll fix them when I can!

3. The author doesn't play basketball and is looking everything up as they write. Please point out any errors.

4. Feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions. I'll take them seriously!

I thought it over and decided to clarify: They're each other's first love, and there is no turning-straight-guy-gay plotline. There will occasionally be scenes from the seme's point of view.

Theme: Where there's a will, there's a way. Be brave and pursue love.
