A Star Fell into His Arms

It wasn't until Mu Xingyao enrolled at Lan University that she learned her childhood friend, Jiang Yue, was famous there while pursuing his master's degree. He was known for his exceptional talent, elegant bearing, and using his good looks to get away with anything.

At a public lecture, a classmate who knew Mu Xingyao noticed her staring at Jiang Yue and kindly warned her, "Every year, a department beauty or campus beauty tries to pursue him, and they all get rejected. If you like him, you'd better brace yourself for rejection."

Mu Xingyao came back to herself. "I don't like that sort of guy."

When they were little, Mu Xingyao was always following Jiang Yue around, calling him "Big Brother" this and "Big Brother" that. Their elders even joked about arranging a childhood betrothal for them.

Mu Xingyao never took the joke seriously. She thought Jiang Yue hadn't either.

Until one day, a friend introduced her to a guy.

His name was Song Xiao. He was sunny and outgoing, with a rebellious, roguish air, passionate and dazzling.

The first time Mu Xingyao met him, he made her laugh until she was beaming.

Some time later, Song Xiao confessed his feelings to her.

That night in Jiang Yue's apartment, Mu Xingyao curled up on the sofa, chatting with Song Xiao over a voice call.

When it ended, she turned around and found Jiang Yue watching her with a dark expression. "Are you two together?"

"No." Mu Xingyao didn't have a strong desire to date yet, but Song Xiao was so enthusiastic and proactive. "I'm thinking about whether I should give it a try with him."

Jiang Yue said nothing and turned to go into the bedroom.

Mu Xingyao thought he seemed upset, but didn't dwell on it. She stretched and went to sleep in the next room.

The air conditioner in her dorm was broken, so she'd been staying at Jiang Yue's apartment lately.

At daybreak, Mu Xingyao opened her eyes and was horrified to find herself lying in Jiang Yue's bed!

In Mu Xingyao's memory, this wasn't the first time it had happened.

Thinking she'd sleepwalked again, she was about to sneak away when the man beside her suddenly opened his eyes. He stretched out a long arm and forcefully pulled her back.

Jiang Yue's phone rang on the bedside table.

It was Song Xiao.

Song Xiao had made plans to go out with Mu Xingyao that day, but she hadn't been answering her phone. Worried something had happened, he called Jiang Yue to ask, "Senior Jiang, is Xingyao with you?"

On the disheveled bed, Mu Xingyao's lips were swollen from kissing.

At the sound of Song Xiao's voice, she came to her senses. Her damp lashes trembled as she glared at Jiang Yue, who had suddenly gone crazy.

Jiang Yue's gaze was dark, his voice low and hoarse with a trace of obsessive fury.

"He's only been pursuing you for a few days, and you're already thinking about giving it a try with him?"

"Your brother treats you so well. Why not give your brother a try?"

He glanced down at the phone still on the call, bent over, and bit her earlobe. "Tell him whose bed you're lying in right now."

[Bonus Scene]

Mu Xingyao always thought she had a sleepwalking problem, and that when she sleepwalked, she did nothing but climb into Jiang Yue's bed.

Whenever she and Jiang Yue lived under the same roof, she'd wake up in his bed the next morning.

It was a long time before she found out Jiang Yue carried her there in the middle of the night. :):):)

Older man, childhood sweethearts, mildly coercive

The hero has been plotting this for a long time

Both are each other's first love and only love
