Blurb for *After the Campus Heartthrob Finds Out I Work Part-Time at a Maid Cafe*: Lin Xingyou is pretty and cute, but comes from a poor family. Besides going to class, he spends his days looking for odd jobs: substitute teaching, picking up packages, working the register at a convenience store, anything he can find. But the pay is meager, and these scattered little earnings are nowhere near enough to get him out of trouble. In desperation, Lin Xingyou turns his attention to a newly opened maid cafe in the mall, where the hourly wage is astonishingly high. - Gu Yan, the male god of S University's sports department and the campus heartthrob. Tall, long-legged, rich, handsome, and in great shape, he's a national collegiate shooting championship winner: a born star, admired by all. He's just not very pleasant. Cold, aloof, and not one to talk to people. And yet, this very person shows up at the maid cafe. Dressed in a classic black-and-white outfit, Lin Xingyou greets him with a sweet smile and a finger heart. "Welcome, Master! Your personal maid, Xiao You, is at your service~ Today's featured cherry blossom latte is the perfect match for your smile, Master!" Wink~ Freeze. After finishing his welcome routine, Lin Xingyou sees who has walked in and freezes. Gu Yan freezes too. ...So cute. The little maid. - Lin Xingyou hates Gu Yan. When they first started their freshman year, they were roommates for half a semester. Gu Yan mistakenly thought he was gay, and was homophobic and disliked him. Lin Xingyou couldn't stand the guy's arrogant, self-important act, and didn't want to get involved with him, so he moved out of the dorm early. He thought they'd never have to see each other again. But for the next three months, Gu Yan showed up at the cafe every Saturday and Sunday. Lin Xingyou was all smiles on the surface, but in truth, he was incredibly impatient with him Still, that didn't stop Gu Yan from checking in every week. Baby is so cute. That fake enthusiasm is adorable. That cold-faced cuteness is adorable too. Even when he throws things around to hint that Gu Yan should get lost, he's super cute. Gu Yan was completely smitten. Unable to hold back his feelings, he drew a heart in ketchup on a plate while watching Lin Xingyou work. Lin Xingyou walked past. "..." Work was already annoying enough as it was. Theme: Walking hand in hand toward the future.
