Huo Huizhou's family was fairly well-off. He had always been the kind of kid other parents held up as an example: tall and strong, well-read and courteous, always showing people his best side. The most outrageous thing he had ever done was probably falling for another boy, Wen Yuan.
On the night before the college entrance exam, he turned his bittersweet teenage feelings into a line and gave it to Wen Yuan.
The postcard read: The blue gum tree has met the cuckoo.
From then on, though the road stretched far and the mountains stood high, Huo Huizhou never heard from Wen Yuan again.
University life began, and everything went on as usual until their sophomore year, when someone suddenly transferred into Huo Huizhou's dorm. That person turned out to be Wen Yuan!
They attended the same university, yet had never once crossed paths!
Later on
Wen Yuan liked spending time in the library, so Huo Huizhou followed him.
Wen Yuan liked joining clubs, so Huo Huizhou followed him.
Wen Yuan liked taking part-time jobs, so Huo Huizhou watched over him.
Then one day, when Wen Yuan was drunk, he said to Huo Huizhou, "I won the university president's special scholarship. There's only one recipient per department."
Huo Huizhou sincerely replied, "You're amazing."
"I'm studying computer science, and I won first place nationally in a competition. I'll definitely find a good job after graduation."
"Mm, you can do it."
Wen Yuan: "I like you. Will you be with me?"
Huo Huizhou: "?!"

It's great, but the ending is a bit sloppy.
