Lin Wei always thought that he and Xiao Zhixia had a simple relationship based on money.
He was the "companion" in the phrase "a companion who studies alongside the young master."
If it weren't for the cash he happened to need,
he'd never waste his time hanging around with this rich young master who spoke with a thick Beijing accent.
He'd never have ended up living with him as his study companion, spending every day begging the young master to study just a little longer.
He thought that was all there was to it.
Until one day, he saw a post in an overseas students' secondhand group:
"For sale: secondhand study companion. Hardworking and durable, top grades, a little arrogant, but a great cook. Need to get rid of him ASAP. Slightly negotiable."
Lin Wei stared at the screen, hands trembling with rage, all his cool, aloof pride in tatters.
Secondhand? Need to get rid of him ASAP? And the price is negotiable? And what the hell does durable mean?
Furious, he made a throwaway account, planning to lure out the unscrupulous "boss" and expose him.
But instead of catching a fish, he got hooked himself.
- - When Lin Wei woke up in Xiao Zhixia's bed, wrapped in a blanket and staring at the ceiling,
his mind was filled with despair, and he had only one thought:
...Can I get extra pay?
Xiao Zhixia's gaze was still clear, but he wore a roguish smile as he leaned closer and asked softly, "Still going to insult me, hmm?"

★ Overseas student fiction, one-on-one, happy ending, angsty romance. Couldn't find a story with the internet memes I wanted, so I'm writing it myself.
Theme: People really should study hard.
