My Online Love Became My Deskmate

Coming soon: Keeping a College Boy After Getting Rich

The year Lu Jing graduated from junior high, he had nothing to do at home.

He saw people on his social media adding online dating partners and sharing their daily lives. Tempted, he added someone nearby. Their profile picture was a kitten, so he figured they had to be a sweet and gentle girl.

For a month, he went out of his way to flatter them, doing everything he could to win their favor. At last, he won his "goddess's" heart, and they arranged to meet in person a few days later.

Lu Jing carefully got himself ready and went to meet them with a bouquet of roses. But why was there a man waiting when they met? He assumed the guy was waiting for someone else, until the man walked over and said he was Lu Jing's boyfriend.

Lu Jing's whole world fell apart. He quickly made an excuse to go home, then broke up by claiming that a fortune-teller had said their birth charts were incompatible. After that, he swore off romance. The next year, he even got into the advanced class.

But could someone tell him why the teacher had assigned his former online dating partner to be his deskmate?

Lu Jing tried to run, but there was nowhere to go. First, his "boyfriend" status was used to threaten him; then the teacher made sure he got all the study help he needed. He could only watch as his deskmate gradually became part of every corner of his life, and he couldn't push him away.

Years later, one day...

Lu Jing: I seem to remember getting into the advanced class back then.

Ren Qiu patted his head. "Yes, you did great."

Lu Jing: Why does it feel like a matchmaking class?

Ren Qiu: You could think of it that way.

P.S. They'll take their studies seriously while they're in school.

1. Both leads are each other's first and only, definitely!

2. I'm a new writer with poor writing skills, but I'll keep learning and improving.
