Love Your World

The empty apartment across the hall has finally been sold.

On moving day, more than a dozen people show up, calling someone "Boss" over and over.

The shouting makes Wen Yi, across the hall, tremble as she messages her gaming buddy.

[What do I do? I think the guy across from me is some kind of gang boss.]

[There's a whole crowd of underlings at his place! They all call him Boss!]

[You know I live alone, right? Am I going to be unsafe from now on?]

Her buddy waits until the whole crowd across the hall has dispersed before replying.

[People at my workplace call me Boss too. Maybe they're just teasing him.]

A few days later, they meet in the elevator, and Wen Yi takes back everything she said.

[Listen, you're not going to believe this. My neighbor is insanely handsome!]

[Even if he's a big shot, I'm not scared of him! Now I'm scared of myself!]

[I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself.]

Her buddy replies at once.

[Beauty is making you lose your mind!]

Later, after sharing all her secret-crush feelings with her buddy, Wen Yi

witnesses her ridiculously handsome neighbor bringing home different young men.

Her heart drops to the floor with a thud.

[I think I've just been dumped.]

[Why do all handsome men like guys?]

[Does being good-looking give you the right to keep trading in your partners?!]

[Scumbag!]

So when Wen Yi runs into him by the stairwell, she can no longer bring herself to smile.

Jiang Ci Quan looks down at the familiar profile picture eagerly joining in the discussion in the residents' group chat,

then switches back to the chat window and looks at the account that was just cursing someone out with righteous indignation.

That's right.

So... the scumbag was him all along?!

Male lead: owner of an esports club. Female lead: socially anxious freelancer.

A sweet story with a secret identity!

Pre-publication: Dawn's First Clear Skies

The first time Lin Moqiu sees Gao Xing, she notices his amorous eyes. They say he looks at dogs like he's in love, and he's clearly trouble.

The first time Gao Xing hears about Lin Moqiu, he learns she has a childhood friend. But who believes in that "just a friend" stuff?

They both see right through each other and sneer.

Later, in the back row of a dim movie theater, Lin Moqiu turns off her phone and is about to turn around when someone grabs her wrist.

"Lin Moqiu, if you go see him today, we're over."

She looks down at him. His amorous eyes are unusually sharp.

His grip tightens, pulling her closer again.

"Gao Xing, are you ever going to quit?"

"No," he says through gritted teeth. "Listen up. I will never be anyone's backup!"

"..."

After that, they go their separate ways for five years.

When they meet again, the voice of the designated driver on the phone is clear and familiar. A figure approaches, and Lin Moqiu looks up.

"Did you request a ride, ma'am?" The amorous eyes from her memory lower slightly, their expression hard to make out. "Customer?"

"...No."

Some breakups are destined to be messy, just as some reunions arrive without warning.
