Caught by My Aloof Roommate After Ghosting My Online Lover

Wuluo is a poor little cat spirit who starts an online romance.

His online sweetheart is a real soft touch, showering him with gifts after just a few days of chatting.

After being spoiled all summer, the skinny little cat spirit turns into a chubby ball.

His only problem is that his sweetheart is so clingy and eager to meet him in person.

Wuluo looks around his home.

A little stone cave just big enough for one cat, and tiny dried fish that are bite-sized once they've dried.

There's no room, and he can't afford to feed anyone else.

When Wuluo learns his sweetheart is a freshman at A University, he decides to surprise him. He asks a bird friend to deliver a letter, arranging a romantic in-person meeting.

A few days later, the bird returns in a sorry state, chirping indignantly.

"You awful cat! You tricked me! That was a human. He nearly fainted when he saw a bird!"

It turns out Wuluo's online sweetheart isn't a dog spirit.

The ears and tail he'd imagined were just part of the guy's cosplay!

And the guy is terrified of spirits.

Wuluo is heartbroken. He breaks up, blocks him, and deletes him, all in one go.

Human, the cat's gone. Don't miss him.

On the eve of the new semester, Chu Fengnian gets dumped out of nowhere. He's down for a long time and has no interest in socializing with his roommates.

Fortunately, his roommate is warm and outgoing, and reaches out first. They gradually become good friends.

Still, Chu Fengnian keeps feeling that his roommate seems familiar somehow.

This isn't some case of projecting his ex onto someone else.

Chu Fengnian scolds himself and makes a conscious effort to keep his distance from his roommate.

His roommate doesn't notice a thing. Meanwhile, one friend after another joins their circle.

Just when Chu Fengnian thinks their relationship will go no further, he stumbles upon a secret.

He peers down through the gap in the tightly drawn bed curtain.

His roommate rushes into the dorm and locks the door, face flushed and forehead drenched in sweat, then slides down to sit on the floor.

With his ears pricked and tail drooping, he shakily pulls out his phone and sends someone a message.

Chu Fengnian has seen the ID and profile picture before.

It's his runaway boyfriend.
