Winter Solstice

[A College Student from the Mountains Meets a Top-Tier Succubus the Moment He Gets to the City]

Xu Dong had finally made it out of the remote mountains and gotten into Shengze University, the school of his dreams. He thought his future would be just like everyone else's: a respectable job, a wife and children, and a life spent following the well-worn path society had laid out for him.

But then he fell in love with his upperclassman.

It was all Wen Yanzhou's fault for being so good at seducing people.

His father had told him that if he got together with someone, he had to take responsibility for them for the rest of his life.

But later, Wen Yanzhou left him without a word.

And so the warm, enthusiastic golden retriever turned into a cold-faced Doberman years later. The one thing that never changed was that he was still Wen Yanzhou's dog.

At last, Xu Dong spotted someone, and his eyes lit up. He hurried over, excited, and asked earnestly, "I, I'm a new student at Shengze University. I've gotten lost. Could I trouble you to give me a ride?"

He even took his admission letter out of his bag to show the person in the car, afraid they wouldn't believe him.

"You're going to Shengze University!" The young man brushed his short hair back, revealing bright, deep-set eyes. "Me too. I'm two years ahead of you. You can call me senior."

"That's great! Are you heading back to campus, Senior? Could you take me with you?"

"Why are you out here?"

"I walked here from the train station."

"The train station?!" The young man gave an incredulous laugh. "You walked here from the train station? Judging by the distance, that's seven kilometers on foot! Why didn't you take a taxi?"

Xu Dong awkwardly clutched the hem of his shirt. "Well, the driver wanted to charge me eighty... It was too expensive, and there were no buses, so I had to walk."

"Eighty for thirteen kilometers? That really is a rip-off." The young man's arm rested on the car window. "But it's three in the morning. You can't get into campus now anyway. They have a curfew."

"If there's a curfew, Senior, why are you out here?"

"Because I don't live on campus." He pointed to a building barely visible in the mountain's shadow. "See? That's my villa."

Xu Dong panicked. He really didn't want to stay out here alone any longer. After thinking it over, he blushed and carefully asked, "C-could I stay at your place for one night, Senior?"

The young man rested his chin on his hand and looked at him, smiling. "You're so quick to invite yourself home with someone. Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"
