#After I Dumped My Online Boyfriend, A Senior From My Main Campus Started Haunting Me Like a Ghost#

Ji Xingshuang has a mild social anxiety around men. At her friends' urging, she started dating someone online during her freshman year.

Her online boyfriend was great in every way: clingy, with a lovely voice, writing her handwritten love letters, always buying her gifts, and even sending her photos of his abs... He helped ease her social anxiety around men a lot.

The only problem was that he was always talking about meeting in person.

Ji Xingshuang had never planned to meet him in person.

The summer before her sophomore year, just shy of their first anniversary, her online boyfriend sent her a message at midnight on her birthday: [Happy birthday, Little Xing. I'm at the airport in D City.]

Ji Xingshuang was so scared that she broke up with him on the spot and deleted all his contact information.

When sophomore year began, Ji Xingshuang transferred from the D City campus to the main campus in A City.

On her first day of classes, she met a senior whose voice was uncannily like her online boyfriend's. He was also wearing the bracelet she'd given her online boyfriend.

Ji Xingshuang: ...

I'm doomed.

Everyone around Fan Jing knew he had an online girlfriend he cherished more than anything.

For her, he moved off campus just so they could call every day and he could soothe her to sleep.

For her, he knitted scarves and bags by hand.

For her, he went to celebrate her birthday even while running 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 the habit of writing in his love diary every day, and he rejected every girl who tried to chat him up.

Someone teased him: Are you planning to stay chaste for your ex for the rest of your life?

Fan Jing only smiled without answering.

Not long afterward, the news that Fan Jing was pursuing a junior spread all over campus.

Someone commented: Guess the ex wasn't all that special after all.

At a club gathering, someone 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 expression unreadable.

That night, Ji Xingshuang was held captive in Fan Jing's arms, kissed until she couldn't breathe.

"Little Xing, everyone knows how much I love you."

[Reader's Guide]

1. The heroine attends a branch campus as a freshman and transfers to the main campus in her sophomore year.

2. The heroine used to be rather introverted, but she'll change a little.

3. It's probably a story about a straightforward girl and a brooding, possessive guy (?)
