She worked hard and earned a place at Huai University, one of the country’s top schools. As soon as the semester began, she heard that Shen Xuyuan, her distant cousin and childhood playmate, was also at Huai University. He was a year ahead of her, and they studied at different campuses. They hadn’t been in touch for over ten years. Yun Xiu agonized over it for ages before finally getting Shen Xuyuan’s WeChat and adding him as a friend. Afraid of bothering him, she thought she’d start by catching up over messages. He never suggested meeting in person. Instead… time and again, he had delivery couriers bring her all sorts of things, from new milk tea flavors and hand cream to a bracelet that wasn’t exactly cheap. Her roommates all teased her, asking what kind of guy her boyfriend was, and refused to believe he was merely a brother related to her by blood. Yan Lan was a campus celebrity at Huai University. In his first year, a close-up candid photo of him went viral across the entire school. There was no mystery why: his deep blue eyes resembled a whirlpool in the depths of the sea, flecked with stars and seemingly able to draw people in. Rumor had it his mother was a beautiful Russian woman. Yet he himself was the very picture of an aloof, unattainable beauty. Not a single girl had managed to get his WeChat in his entire first year. Until one night, when he got drunk and accidentally accepted a friend request. The request came with a note: [Brother, it’s Xiuxiu] A clichéd, boring approach. After sobering up, Yan Lan looked at the chat window, where every message included the word “Brother.” He was about to delete her when he happened to glance at her Moments and saw a photo. In the photo, the girl held a flyer. Her fair, slender fingers were like the finest white jade, their knuckles faintly pink. A cute, pale mole rested in the web between her thumb and forefinger. Nobody knew that Yan Lan was hopelessly obsessed with hands. One glance at the hand in the photo, and he couldn’t look away. At a club dinner, Yun Xiu ran into Shen Xuyuan at an off-campus party. A brief conversation was all it took for her to realize she’d added the wrong person and had spent months calling a stranger “Brother.” Yun Xiu was so mortified she felt like she’d been left out in the blazing sun all day. She quickly transferred him some money and deleted him from her friends list. Not long afterward, Yan Lan cornered Yun Xiu beneath her dorm building. He gently clasped her slender wrist, his thumb brushing unconsciously over her knuckles. Yun Xiu: “Senior Yan, I…” The legendary aloof beauty gazed at her with a hint of warmth in his eyes. His deep blue gaze became a cage meant for her alone. “Why don’t you call me Brother anymore?” Later, Yun Xiu discovered a large number of paintings in the studio at Yan Lan’s off-campus home. Every single one depicted her hands. And later still, there were sketches of more than just her hands, quick, secret drawings of all sorts of moments with her. *Adding him by mistake was a fluke, but when the person is you, it’s a sweet peach oolong tea* [Reader’s Guide] 1.

Please add it to your reading list through the author’s page in the upper right corner~ #After Dumping Her Online Boyfriend, a Senior from the Main Campus Started Haunting Her Like a Ghost# Ji Xingshuang had a slight difficulty socializing with men. At her friend’s urging, she got an online boyfriend during her first year of college. Her online boyfriend was wonderful in every way: clingy, with a lovely voice, handwritten love letters, constant gifts, and even photos showing off his abs… He really helped ease her anxiety about interacting with men. He just kept wanting to meet in person. Ji Xingshuang had never planned to meet him in person. The summer before her second year, when they’d been dating online for almost a year, her boyfriend sent her a message at midnight on her birthday: [Xiaoxing, happy birthday. I’m at the airport in City D] Terrified, Ji Xingshuang broke up with him on the spot and deleted every way of contacting him. At the start of her second year, Ji Xingshuang transferred from City D to the main campus in City A. On the first day of the semester, she met an upperclassman whose voice sounded just like her online boyfriend’s. He was even wearing the bracelet she’d given her boyfriend. Ji Xingshuang: … This is bad. - Everyone around Fan Jing knew he had an online girlfriend he treasured more than anything. For her, he moved off campus just so he could talk her to sleep every night. For her, he knitted scarves and bags by hand. For her, he went to celebrate her birthday even with a fever. … Even after they broke up, Fan Jing still wore the bracelet his online girlfriend had given him. His phone wallpaper was a screenshot of their chat, he kept up his habit of writing in his love diary every day, and he turned down every girl who tried to hit on him. Someone teased him: “Don’t tell me you’re planning to stay faithful to your ex for the rest of your life?” Fan Jing smiled and said nothing. Before long, word that Fan Jing was pursuing a junior spread across the whole school. Someone remarked: “So much for his ex being special.” - At a club gathering, someone looking for trouble deliberately brought up Fan Jing’s ex in front of his current girlfriend. Fan Jing didn’t stop them. His current girlfriend lowered her eyes and sipped her drink, her feelings impossible to read. That night, Fan Jing held Ji Xingshuang tight in his arms and kissed her until she could hardly breathe. “Xiaoxing, everyone knows how much I love you.” [Reader’s Guide] 1.

Not long after, his roommate showed up with the letter and told her, “I’m willing to date you.” Yu Si: …? The upperclassman’s roommate was Ji Qingyuan, an aloof, unattainable beauty from the architecture department. She barely knew him. She had no idea why the letter had ended up in his hands, but she definitely hadn’t written down the recipient’s name. Most likely, it was all a misunderstanding. Yu Si was about to explain when the upperclassman flooded her WeChat with messages [I didn’t think you were a player too, stringing both me and Ji Qingyuan along] [When are you going to dump that boring, icy Ji Qingyuan and get together with me?] [We’re the same kind of person] Yu Si was shocked to see the upperclassman’s true colors. Frowning, she promptly deleted all his contact information. But faced with Ji Qingyuan, who was holding the letter and knew nothing about the mix-up, Yu Si had no idea how to explain. She gritted her teeth and decided to go along with it. After all… even if they started dating, they could always break up. College was a hotbed of hormones, and plenty of people dated just to see how it went. Every day, Yu Si racked her brain trying to figure out how to break up with him without making things awkward. Her roommate offered advice: Use your status as his girlfriend to interfere in his life until he gets sick of you. Someone as cool and aloof as Ji Qingyuan definitely wouldn’t put up with being controlled like that. Yu Si thought it sounded like a great plan. She started flooding him with 99+ messages a day, demanding he come whenever she called, wear her pink bow hair tie, and never talk to any other girls… But as time passed, Ji Qingyuan didn’t get sick of her. If anything, he became even clingier. One night, drunk and swaying, he pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. “Baby, you love me so much.” “I love you too.” Yu Si: ??? #Another Day Without Breaking Up# #We Can’t Break Up, We Really Can’t# #Let’s Get Married Right After Graduation owo!# Yu Si had originally thought Ji Qingyuan was a fish she’d dragged into muddy water.
