(This is an extremely, extremely, extremely early draft of the blurb. I'll definitely revise it before I start posting!!!)
After three months studying abroad, things were still going terribly from the start. He trusted a shady agency and ended up paying a fortune to share a six-person apartment. Then he trusted a crooked landlord and got cheated out of half his deposit. Even the online friend he'd chatted with for ages suddenly turned out to be a ghostwriter!
After being scammed one too many times, Shi Mu stood at the door of his new place with his suitcase, praying humbly that his new roommate would be neat, so he'd have a chance to become a proper international student (chef).
The very next moment, his neat roommate appeared right in front of him. The kitchen counters were polished to a shine, the living room table had to have a diffuser on it, and the smell of dinner always filled the living room right on time. Apart from that handsome face that looked like it could be trouble, he was practically perfect!
Except...
"Just take him out." The chilling words came through the crack in the door and reached Shi Mu's ears.
Take who out? Could someone explain why his roommate was surrounded by a bunch of local toughs calling him boss?
"What did you hear?" Bai Zhiyu's tone was cold, his expression sinister, as if he were talking to a dead man.
Shi Mu broke into a cold sweat when he was caught eavesdropping, but his gaze fell on the pink apron Bai Zhiyu was wearing...
Being overseas meant he had to make do. To keep his student life from ending halfway through, Shi Mu immediately accepted the fact that his top-ten roommate was a "gang boss."
After living in fear for a long time, he fell into deep thought when he saw a cat that had just been neutered.
Before he could think it through, the "gang boss," still wearing his pink apron, brought four dishes and a soup to the table. Blushing, he carefully confessed to Shi Mu over dinner:
"Shi Mu, I like you. I've liked you for a long time..."
Shi Mu: Your username is exactly the same as that ghostwriter who played with my feelings~
Bai Zhiyu: ...
Shi Mu: But why do you even have a drawing I made when I was a kid?!
Bai Zhiyu: ...You gave it to me (quietly)
A fierce-looking, severely neat-freakish, amazing home cook and scheming domestic sweetheart of a top x an aloof, handsome-guy type who is really a chatterbox in his own head, a kitchen disaster, and mildly socially anxious bottom
Bai Zhiyu x Shi Mu
Two hard-luck international students whose looks and personalities don't match at all, supporting each other as they chase their dreams qwq
*International students, one-on-one, both characters' first times, happy ending
Theme: Stay positive and work hard at life.
