At the start of his first year of college, Shao Yunfan is assigned to share a dorm room with Shi Lu, the handsome new campus heartthrob. Tall, sunny, cheerful, and sporting abs, Shi Lu is irresistible to men and women alike.
Shao Yunfan has also been unable to forget him for six years, but it's not because he's been nursing a crush. Shi Lu borrowed money and never paid him back.
When they were kids, Shi Lu borrowed a week's worth of his pocket money, then went abroad without a word and vanished without a trace.
"What a coincidence! We're roommates."
Shi Lu remembers him, but not the money he owes. Shao Yunfan is so furious his face and neck turn red, and he quietly reminds him, "Ten yuan. Ten yuan."
Shi Lu is utterly bewildered. What?
As soon as they add each other on WeChat, dozens of missed calls from six years ago pop up.
Shi Lu looks at the missed calls and the messages asking frantically where he'd gone, then at Shao Yunfan's flushed face, and finally understands.
...He likes me!
Shi Lu tries to explain to Shao Yunfan that he's straight, but every time Shao Yunfan gets out of the shower and wanders around in front of him with his bare legs on display, Shi Lu forgets everything and gives him whatever he wants.
By the end of the semester, Shao Yunfan has finally started to see Shi Lu differently, and even has a little crush on him.
At a birthday party, drunk, Shao Yunfan accidentally lets the truth slip. "With all the interest compounding on what you owe me, I'd suggest paying your debt in kind... hic!"
With a soft, warm body in his arms, Shao Yunfan can't help blushing and feeling his heart race. "What debt?"
Shao Yunfan complains pitifully, "The ten yuan you borrowed from me in middle school! You said you'd pay me back the next day, but you left me hungry for a whole week. Boohoo..."
Shi Lu looks at the complete record of Shao Yunfan's debt-collection messages on his phone and feels like a heartbroken puppy.
The next day, sober and mortified, Shao Yunfan doesn't know how to face him and tries to run away. Shi Lu grabs him and plants a kiss on his lips.
"Weren't you the one who said I should pay my debt in kind? I never said I wouldn't. Why are you running?"
