I Fell for My Ex-Boyfriend Online!

In outsiders' eyes, Yu Du comes from a wealthy family, is handsome, and is mild-mannered and modest. He seems to have no flaws. If all went smoothly, after graduating from a prestigious university, he'd follow the path his family had laid out for him: join the company, go on blind dates, and live a stable life. But Yu Du didn't. He has two secrets. First, he likes men. Second, he changed his college application choices for the entrance exam and studied to become a teacher. After graduation, Yu Du packed his bags and went to teach at a top high school in the city. The school has two elite classes. They quietly compete with each other and can't stand one another. Yu Du is given a heavy responsibility: taking charge of one of them. One day, he gets a message from a friend in Beicheng: "Help me slash the price on Pinduoduo..." His competitive spirit roused, Yu Du spends half the night fiddling with the app, only to stare at the remaining 0.01 and fall silent. After hesitating for a moment, he opens his friends list. Having sent a string of "You there?" messages, he finally comes to his senses and decisively uninstalls Pinduoduo. Damn Pinduoduo, ruining my youth! I'm done believing in this. If I fall for it again, I'll be up all night till I die! Just before bed, he unexpectedly gets a message from his long-lost online ex-boyfriend: "Want me to help you slash the price on Pinduoduo?" Yu Du: "." So reasonable and realistic, and still knows him so well. Old flames catch fire again, crackling like dry wood. The two rekindle their romance. Lately, Yu Du has heard plenty of gossip in the staff room. The one who hears the most is Lu Shiyan, the aloof, sharp-tongued homeroom teacher of the class next door. "When Little Lu first joined the school three years ago, the students gave him a hard time, and he got his heart broken in an online relationship. No wonder he's like this now." "He won't even go on the blind dates people set up for him. Maybe he got hurt too badly." "Didn't he say he was going to get revenge?" Huddled in a corner, Yu Du shares every last detail with his online sweetheart. Yu Du: "Good thing we're not like that." Sweetheart: "Mm." Yu Du: "Though his voice sounds a lot like yours." Sweetheart: "Oh." Yu Du: "..." Is he jealous already? So Yu Du adds, "But when I listen carefully, your voice is nicer than his." Sweetheart: You'll find out someday [smile] Yu Du: QAQ My sweetheart seems kind of weird. Lu Shiyan's life lesson: Online dating is risky. Be careful when falling in love. Until one night, when a chat window suddenly pops up from the contact pinned at the top of his list: "You there?" Lu Shiyan falls silent. The coworker beside him leans closer and asks drunkenly, "Huh, why did Yu Du message you too? Didn't he say he barely knew you?" At that, Lu Shiyan pauses. The dark screen reflects his shadowy eyes. After a long moment, he chuckles. "If he says we barely know each other, then I guess we barely know each other." Liar.
