[I'll be starting this story next. If you're interested, you can add it to your favorites!]
Popular idol Lin Yichen announced at the peak of his career that he was taking a break from the entertainment industry to return to school. The moment he dragged his suitcase through the dormitory door, a beautiful young man suddenly threw himself into his arms.
The young man buried his face in Lin Yichen's chest and sobbed so hard he could barely breathe, asking why he'd only just come back and whether he'd forgotten about him.
Lin Yichen was flustered and at a loss, even wondering if he had amnesia.
Otherwise, how could he not remember ever knowing the person in his arms, let alone... having a relationship with him???
But after the person in his arms finished crying, he patted himself off and walked away. When they met again, he acted as if Lin Yichen were a stranger.
Lin Yichen: ?
Only later did Lin Yichen learn that this dramatic roommate was a popular online fiction writer. Sometimes he got too immersed in his roles, and to experience the characters' emotions, he would do... strange things.
When the male and female leads in his novel reunited after breaking up, the heroine clung to the amnesiac hero and poured out her grievances. So Ji Mo clung to Lin Yichen, bawling and asking if he didn't love him anymore.
He even watched Lin Yichen's reaction as he cried, and if it wasn't right, he'd immediately complain and demand a redo.
When the leads in the novel got back together, Ji Mo brought Lin Yichen breakfast every day, did his class sign-in, waited for him after class, and gently fussed over him from morning to night, taking care of his every need.
For a while, everyone in the university district thought they'd discovered the retired top-tier star's romance. After it was exposed and trended online, Ji Mo was very unhappy. He pointed out that the original profession of his tool character was too conspicuous and didn't fit the male lead's character enough.
And then the leads got married...
On a dark and windy night, Ji Mo climbed into Lin Yichen's bed.
Lin Yichen finally couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed him by the wrist and pinned the little rascal against the railing, his handsome face flushed.
"Are you seriously trying to seduce me on purpose?"
"Huh?" Ji Mo stared blankly. "I'm just acting out the plot."
Watching his roommate's expression shift unpredictably, Ji Mo began cautiously testing the waters.
"If you don't like it, maybe I should go ask..." The readers what they thought?
Before the young writer could finish, Lin Yichen, furious, pushed him down and bit him.
"I will not allow it!"
Ji Mo obediently opened his mouth to play along, but was a little baffled inside. Was Mr. Lin really this strict with himself?!
After one night, Ji Mo was so exhausted he couldn't even move his fingers. He lay in bed, wishing he could sleep until the end of time.
Lin Yichen woke him with a humble look. "I don't think I did a good job in that scene just now. Come on, let's do it again."
Ji Mo: ???
Later, their everyday life as roommates:
Lin Yichen: Here he goes again! Throwing himself into my arms and whining every day, and he says he doesn't like me?!
Ji Mo: I've got a new idea. I need to find my dear roommate and have him experience it firsthand so I can see his reaction and write what happens next!
The students and faculty around the university district: We're used to it by now. It's just the everyday public displays of affection between the campus heartthrob and his childhood sweetheart / tragic lovers / reunited exes / enemies in love / heirs to wealthy families / time-transmigrating yandere / obsessive / unhinged / *** / idealized first love / substitute little wife!
