Hidden Heartbeats [School Life]

Male lead steals her boyfriend x domineering pursuit x chasing his wife

Sunny on the outside, a dark, rabid dog on the inside x a sometimes-depressed but endlessly energetic little fairy

When the new semester began, Ji Ying crammed at the last minute and managed to get into Java Class One, a class full of top students.

She sat in a corner with her roommate and listened as her roommate introduced the class's many geniuses.

Before long, a tall, long-legged man walked in behind their major-course instructor.

Her roommate excitedly lowered her voice. "That's Fang Qihuai, first place on the placement exam. His individual project got a perfect score, too."

Ji Ying knew him. Back in their freshman year, a blurry side-profile photo had earned him the title of the Computer Science Department's campus heartthrob.

His sunny, cheerful personality made him even more popular.

The instructor had everyone give the same old introductions, starting from the front and working their way back.

When it was Ji Ying's turn, she stood up, finished speaking, and sat down. She felt a cold, sinister gaze from the front fixed on her.

But when she looked up, all she saw was Fang Qihuai's handsome profile.

-

She first crossed paths with Fang Qihuai for real when she caught her boyfriend with another woman in his arms at a bar.

Feeling dejected, she walked out of the bar alone.

Fang Qihuai pulled up in front of her on a motorcycle, and, as if in a daze, she accepted the helmet he offered.

After they got together, she found that Fang Qihuai really was just like the rumors said: sunny, gentle, and gentlemanly.

If only she hadn't overheard him talking to the woman her ex-boyfriend had cheated with.

"You two only got together because of me."
