Will You Be My Boyfriend Now?

Blurb:

On the first day of being nineteen, Lin Ting fell for someone.

A boy.

His first crush hit him like a whirlwind.

His friends all offered advice.

Friend One: Make the first move. Compliment him, praise him like crazy, and get his ego so pumped that he gets hooked.

Friend Two: Compliment specific details, not something vague. Best to pick something no one else has noticed, so he feels like you're special.

Friend Three: Find something you have in common, so he feels like the two of you really click.

Friend Four: A sense of occasion is important, no matter whether you're a boy or a girl.

Lin Ting scratched his cheek and memorized every bit of advice.

On the thirty-first day after he fell for Shen Zong, he blushed and sent his first text.

[Shen Zong, I really like the shape of your skull. It's so full and beautiful. Mine's pretty round, too.]

Lin Ting received no reply on the first day.

He didn't lose heart. With a proper sense of occasion, he sent a second text.

-

Shen Zong had recently encountered a pervert.

Every night, like clockwork, the guy sent him creepy texts. Shen Zong never replied.

But after the little pervert diligently sent thirty-one messages, Shen Zong couldn't hold back any longer.

[8 p.m., East Gate 2 of Chaoyang Building.]

The news that Shen Zong was being stalked by a pervert was no secret in his dorm. When they heard Shen Zong was going to confront him, everyone rolled up their sleeves to back him up. But then... they saw the neighboring college's aloof campus heartthrob, precious genius, and darling of the entire school arrive alone, carrying a bouquet of roses.

With his face bright red, Lin Ting handed the roses to Shen Zong. "Shen Zong, thank you for meeting me. These flowers are for you. W-would you be my boyfriend?"

Shen Zong: "..."

Everyone: "…"

Shen Zong thought he was dealing with a pervert. He never expected him to be an idiot.

-

Word of Lin Ting's confession to Shen Zong soon spread across all of Yanda.

Over a hundred people earnestly warned Shen Zong not to hurt Lin Ting and to turn him down gently.

Shen Zong started out doing as they said.

Later... later, Shen Zong began teaching Lin Ting, step by step, how to pursue him.

A super-genius, super-low-emotional-intelligence, bookish, straightforward bottom × a top who patiently teaches someone how to pursue him and doesn't know whether to laugh or cry every day
