He Acts Sweet Just for Me

[College Campus, Interspersed with High School Memories] Also known as: My Online Dating Partner Is the Gloomy Guy I Used to Have a Crush On

An internet veteran, slightly socially anxious heroine x a rotting-on-the-inside but highly skilled-at-pretending gloomy male lead

Jiang Zao has had an online boyfriend for a year. They met through a game years ago, and have played every game together since, naturally becoming a couple in-game.

Her online boyfriend is witty and funny, always knows how to keep a conversation going, and is very considerate. They've never met or heard each other's voices, but the scenery photos he sends have revealed his pale, long fingers with prominent knuckles.

Jiang Zao is a homebody with social anxiety. Her relationships have never lasted more than three months, but she's been with her online boyfriend for a whole year. She can tell he's exactly her type, and has started planning to meet him.

But before she can put those plans into action, Jiang Yue discovers that her online boyfriend has another game account. No, in fact, he deliberately let her find it.

An account both familiar and strange.

The more she thinks about it, the more something feels off. She hurriedly logs into the account she used in high school and finds him among hundreds of people on her list:

Su Yu.

A gloomy guy who had a crush on her in high school.

A gloomy guy who followed her around in high school.

A gloomy guy who had been lurking by her side for years.

Jiang Zao's world comes crashing down.

The male lead's version:

Su Yu has someone he really likes. He's liked her since elementary school. He was so happy to be in the same class as Jiang Zao again in middle school. He was so happy to walk to and from school with her every day. He was so happy that he was Jiang Zao's only friend.

But why did Jiang Zao suddenly stop talking to him? Why did she start avoiding him?

In high school, he kept an eye on everything Jiang Zao did, listening as her anonymous online friend while she shared her high school stories and worries with him. In college, he listened as Jiang Zao told him about her relationships.

Dutifully, every step of the way.

He's honored to become Jiang Zao's third boyfriend. He'll work hard to play the type she likes.

Jiang Zao wants to meet him, but before they meet, he needs to let her know who he is.

Lu Qichuan gets the fright of his life when a snake shows up at the high-speed rail station. The snake's owner has the nerve to demand that he pay its medical bills. It's only twenty yuan, so he can't be bothered to argue and pays up.

Later, Bai Li becomes his classmate and says, "Your forehead looks dark. Want me to help you out? It's cheap, and we're classmates: just 500 yuan!"

Lu Qichuan scoffs. Does he look like an easy mark?

Later, even paying her 500 yuan can't solve the problem.
