Confident Men Never Have It Easy

It was nothing unusual. From kindergarten to the present, Lu Zhe had received countless love letters, and girls had pursued him in droves. He’d seen plenty of girls bring him drinks and snacks after games, or arrange to run into him around campus. In short, it wasn’t until graduation day, when Lu Zhe was waiting for Chen Xiaoxiao to confess to him, that he saw her give her one-of-a-kind graduation commemorative pin to someone else and realized something was wrong. Worse still, after going to great lengths to ask her to take a photo with him, Lu Zhe saw the girl give him a polite, confused look. “Which class are you in?” - Xiaoxiao’s latest favorite is a handsome blogger who has an orange cat. He never shows his face, but his figure is so good that his follower count has rocketed upward. Xiaoxiao usually just likes his posts without a word. One day, on a whim, she left a cheeky comment.
