My Crush Is a Senior

Bubbly, outgoing, scatterbrained sweetheart × sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, cool-faced top student

Happy ending. A sweet, zany campus romance~

The summer before her first year of graduate school, Gu Zhao’s chosen advisor paired her with Shao Yi, a doctoral student in the same academic lineage, to mentor her. The huge list of literary works and research papers her advisor sent over left Gu Zhao in a wonderful state of mind.

Every day, the only thing Gu Zhao looked forward to was chatting with and asking questions of her cool, adorably clueless senior, Shao Yi.

On the first day of school, Gu Zhao attended a meeting with her research group. She arrived early to claim a seat in the back, already looking forward to finally meeting her beloved senior face-to-face.

But the first person to catch her eye as she entered wasn’t her senior. It was her crush. At twenty-three, after a lifetime of being single, Gu Zhao felt her heart skip a beat for the first time.

The cool guy in the front row was so ridiculously handsome that Gu Zhao couldn’t take her eyes off him. She even forgot all about her beloved senior and found herself drifting over to sneak into the seat behind him.

Gu Zhao: Senior, senior, are you here yet? There’s a handsome guy in our literature department! (*^ω^*)

Gu Zhao: Sneaky photo of the handsome guy’s profile and the back of his head.jpg

Gu Zhao: Senior, do you know this handsome guy?

Gu Zhao: I think I’ve found my crush (*/ω\*)

Gu Zhao: A crush is a crush. Even the back of his head is so perfectly shaped!

Gu Zhao was so excited that she was grinning like an idiot as she shared the “good news” with her senior. Then she suddenly heard a phone vibrating repeatedly on the desk in front of her.

Gu Zhao looked up without thinking. The perfect back of his head suddenly turned into an even more mouthwatering handsome face.

As they stared at each other in silence, Gu Zhao hadn’t even had time to stop smiling when she heard the handsome guy ask in a teasing voice, “Junior, do you like... the back of my head?”

A stubborn female host who pretends to be in love × a reserved male singer who says one thing but means another

Shen Xingzhi, a top-tier star, shot to fame overnight. He’s been popular for ten years without a single scandal, and is cool, aloof, and unbothered. On top of that, he’s handsome and talented.

Ren Limeng, an obscure host on the agricultural channel, worked hard to snag a spot on a top-rated variety show that combined travel and competition, hoping to transform her career. On the first day of filming, she ran into Shen Xingzhi, the unattainable idol she’d been in love with for years.

At the filming site, Shen Xingzhi walked past Ren Limeng and sat down without a word, as aloof as he’d been in college. Back then, she’d been full of enthusiasm, joining clubs to pursue him, studying hard to become a host, and trying every possible way to get close. All she got in return was a polite nod from his impassive face.

Even after their whirlwind marriage and divorce, all Ren Limeng could do was gaze at Shen Xingzhi’s sharply defined, indifferent profile. His cool elegance made her heart flutter, but it also chilled her enough to finally see things clearly.

Now strangers despite their past, Ren Limeng put all her energy into transforming her career as a host. But one man refused to let the past go. During team selection, Shen Xingzhi singled out Ren Limeng, who had been destined to be no more than a background figure, right in front of a star-studded crowd. Then he shamelessly pursued her and tried to make them a couple on the show, taking things further at every turn.

“Limeng, why not make our pretend romance real?”

In a dark alley late at night, Shen Xingzhi seized Ren Limeng, leaving her nowhere to retreat. He gently yet firmly lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his burning, deep-set gaze. His possessive stare had lost all its former elegance and coolness.

“Shen Xingzhi, you’re crossing the line.”

Ren Limeng gave him a faintly amused look. She was only playing along for the cameras. She wouldn’t let herself make the same mistake again by indulging his games with her feelings.

But after she warned him not to cross the line, things only got stranger.

At a noisy dinner table, Shen Xingzhi lifted his eyes slightly. “I’m pursuing her.” Through the crowd, he stared straight at Ren Limeng, his cool features touched by a bewitching smile, gentle yet dangerous.

When he returned to Ren Limeng’s alma mater, Shen Xingzhi lowered his head obediently. “Teacher, Limeng is so cruel to me.” His plaintive complaint carried the weight of years of suppressed love.

Under the dim moonlight, Shen Xingzhi’s low voice brimmed with scorching allure. “I only want you.” His dark eyes were deep as an abyss. He leaned in and kissed her with an irresistible force, wanting to consume every last breath Ren Limeng had.

In front of the cameras and behind the scenes, Ren Limeng did her best to ignore Shen Xingzhi’s hungry gaze. Smiling brightly, she said with calm resolve, “I belong to myself alone.”

“Then... I belong to you.”

His hoarse voice was vulnerable and seductive. As their breaths intertwined again and again, all that remained was irresistible confusion and reckless, all-consuming surrender.

Ren Limeng: from hopeless romantic to career woman.

Shen Xingzhi: from career man to hopeless romantic.
