Sensitive but sunny bottom, a bit of a giver, x tsundere but easily rattled top, with little sense of security [They both have some emotional scars. Their awkwardness early on isn't what they truly feel]
Modern setting / interspersed campus stories / second chance romance
Updates will begin after a delay (a stress-relief story while I'm studying for exams ;-D. If you're interested, feel free to save up chapters before reading. I won't abandon it.)
Because of a change in his job, Zhang Qi packed his things and returned to Jinnan after twelve years away. There, he unexpectedly found a strange phone. He never thought it would still work, since it had been obsolete for who knew how many years.
But strange entries written by someone else appeared in the memo app. The latest one was dated yesterday and read, “I finally saw him again.” Was this a ghost? But it really wasn't an illusion: the entries were actually updating in real time.
Perplexed, he hesitated for a long time before typing three words: Who are you?
The reply came: Who are you?
Bonus scenes:
-1-
At his aunt's blind date gathering, Zhang Qi watched a whole table of tanned, muscular men flexing their abs. He rubbed his forehead, then felt someone's gaze on him. He looked over and saw Wen Yanshan standing in the corner, watching him. His heart tightened. When Wen Yanshan turned and headed out, Zhang Qi hurried after him, only to be pulled by the wrist into an alley. The familiar scent of mint tickled his nose.

“Who's my little puppy?”
“I'm your puppy, baby.”
The bell on his choker gave a little jingle.
“So can I kiss you now?”
