Blurb:
At Qing University, the architecture department has two star students, one man and one woman. Their design styles are completely different. They seem perfectly harmonious on the surface, but in private they refuse to yield to each other. Neither wants to come off second best.
A rumor that the two once shared a dorm room is still circulating on the forums.
Gossiping Netizen A: Is Qing University really that wild?! Men and women sharing a dorm?! Not getting in really was a loss.
Gossiping Netizen B: Let me debunk that. The housing staff made a mistake. They stayed there for one night, then got moved apart the next day. But they really are living together now.
Gossiping Netizen C: Damn, this news is even more explosive! I always thought they were just fake classmates!
Zhu Wuyu, who came across the post, remained expressionless: Don't drag me into this. The only problem was that the rental agent was awful.

Everyone says people who know each other too well shouldn't date. In their first year of high school, Zhu Wuyu put that to the test and got together with Xie Feichi.
At the time, they were in a long-distance relationship, hundreds of kilometers apart by car. Even when they tried to meet, their plans often fell through for one reason or another.
After breaking up, they decided never to have anything to do with each other again. But by some terrible coincidence, they ended up at the same university, in the same major, in the same class, and even... in the same dorm.
Zhu Wuyu opened the door and let out an astonished gasp, his eyes immediately dropping to look below Xie Feichi's waist. "You went to Thailand over summer break just for this?"
"I went to put a curse on you." Xie Feichi sat with his legs crossed, playing a game. His voice was clear and cool, and he didn't even spare Zhu Wuyu a glance. "Be careful when you go out from now on."
"..."
What's it like to keep running into your ex after a breakup?
Zhu Wuyu figured it was probably what you got for being star-crossed.
