Gentle, beautiful, and cute × Sincere, reserved, and secretly flirtatious

Slow-burn TV host × Brooding law firm partner

Fu Mingyue never expected to run into Qin Shu, her high school class monitor, years after graduation, let alone become his roommate.

In her memory, the boy had been quiet and distant, wearing an unremarkable pair of black-framed glasses and sitting behind her. He was like a dark plant, something to be admired from afar.

He was nothing like the intensely charismatic man in front of her, with a tattoo sleeve.

Late on her first night after moving in, she tiptoed into the bathroom with a change of clothes, only to run into Qin Shu, bare-chested.

Mesmerized by the man's beautiful body, Fu Mingyue's ears turned red. Her flustered gaze landed on the conspicuous full moon tattoo on his upper arm.

To ease the awkwardness, she pointed at the tattoo and sincerely complimented him. "It's beautiful."

The man, still damp from the shower, gazed at her with deep, dark eyes. "It really is beautiful."

Qin Shu's gaze left Fu Mingyue momentarily dazed.

She couldn't help remembering their senior year of high school. After a perforated eardrum damaged her hearing, she was walking home alone when a boy in black-framed glasses grabbed her wrist.

The boy's intent, deep-set eyes looked exactly like his do now.

As she came back to herself, Qin Shu suddenly leaned closer. His hot, suggestive breath brushed her ear.

"The lace is beautiful."

Fu Mingyue didn't understand at first. Following the man's gaze, she saw one corner of the underwear in her arms sticking out.

She looked up in disbelief and caught the amusement in Qin Shu's eyes.

After all these years, how had their class monitor's character gotten so bad? He was even flirting with his friend's girlfriend!

Our reunion was never a coincidence.

●Reader Advisory

1. SC, HE. The male lead is a hot nerd, pure in body and mind, and surprisingly good at being romantic. He got the tattoo sleeve for the female lead.

2. The female lead liked the second male lead earlier in the story. If that bothers you, please stay away. The leads' relationship follows proper conduct, and they only get together after the breakup.
