After I Dumped My Devoted Boyfriend

Height difference * sexual tension * getting back together after a breakup “The transfer quarterback is the ex-boyfriend I treated badly and then dumped.” My next novel, set at an American college: Infatuation (the male lead steals someone’s girlfriend) - During winter break of her freshman year, Yu Leyi, a student at CSD, didn’t go back to China. Instead, she flew out to watch a highly anticipated college football championship game. While she was at it, she broke up with her long-distance boyfriend. When sophomore year began, Yu Leyi went to a football game on campus for the first time, hoping to join the CSD Falcons’ creative team. By sheer luck, she caught the debut of Morris Gavin, the team’s new transfer quarterback. All summer, Yu Leyi had been reading up on the CSD Falcons’ players, but she’d never heard a thing about this new quarterback transferring to CSD. Still, there was one consolation: this was the college sports star who had led his team to victory in that championship game earlier in the year, making him the talk of the town. His information and news were all over the internet, and she happened to know him well, too. Because this man was none other than the ex-boyfriend she’d dumped six months ago. On the field, the man strolled toward the rest area on long legs, calm and unhurried. As cheers erupted all around, he took off his helmet, revealing a ruggedly handsome face. Watching him from the stands, Yu Leyi thought, So cold. Just like the day they broke up. She’d prepared herself for everything: his heartbroken pleas, a bitter argument. After all, he’d liked her so, so much. But he hadn’t begged her to stay or picked a fight. He’d calmly said, “Okay.” As a college star quarterback at the height of his fame, Morris had no need to beg his ex-girlfriend to stay. After all, his 192-centimeter height and sexy, muscular athlete’s build had already won him the title of female fans’ favorite player in a fun poll. All he had to do was lower his head and coax her as a friend, chase away the other men around her as a player, and keep showing up in front of her until she had eyes for no one but him. She was crazy about his body, wasn’t she? After they got back together, news of their relationship broke, and people started comparing Yu Leyi to Morris’s former “mystery girlfriend.” Back at PSJ, Morris had gone to great lengths to protect his ex, never letting her appear in public. But now, he didn’t care how many people knew about his current girlfriend. During the on-field interview after that week’s game, the man at the center of it all set the record straight in front of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium and countless viewers watching the livestream: “From the very beginning until now, I’ve only ever had one girlfriend. Her.” Yu Leyi: Sorry, I’m also the ex-girlfriend who dumped him before. #TheJealousKingIsHere #SomeoneTalksToughButIsEvenTougher #ThePerfectBoyfriendChecklist: BigChest + HopelessRomantic (✓✓✓) - Weibo/RedNote: LitchiJamz - Reading notes: 1. Both leads have only ever been with each other. 2. Set at an American college, with an international student and a quarterback. Both leads are adults.
