Yu Si sent a love letter to an upperclassman she was flirting with.

Not long afterward, his roommate showed up with the letter and told her, “I’m willing to date you.”

Yu Si: …?

The upperclassman’s roommate was Ji Qingyuan, an aloof campus heartthrob from the architecture department. She barely knew him.

She had no idea why the letter had ended up in his hands, but she definitely hadn’t written down who it was for.

Most likely, this was all one big misunderstanding.

Just as Yu Si was about to explain, her upperclassman bombarded her with WeChat messages:

[I didn’t know you were such a player, trying to hook both me and Ji Qingyuan. I really underestimated you.]

[When are you dumping that boring iceberg Ji Qingyuan and getting together with me?]

[We’re two of a kind.]

Yu Si was surprised to see the upperclassman’s true colors. Frowning, she deleted all his contact information without hesitation.

But faced with Ji Qingyuan, who had no idea what was going on and was holding her love letter, Yu Si didn’t know how to explain. Gritting her teeth, she decided to go along with the misunderstanding and accept their relationship.

After all… even if they were dating, they could always break up.

At a university, the perfect breeding ground for hormones, plenty of people dated just to see how it went.

Every day, Yu Si racked her brains trying to figure out how to break up with him gracefully.

Her roommate had a suggestion: Use your status as his girlfriend to interfere excessively in his life until he gets sick of you. Someone as cool and distant as Ji Qingyuan would never put up with that kind of control.

Yu Si thought it sounded like a great plan. She began bombarding him with 99+ messages every day, making him come whenever she called, wear her pink hair tie with a little bow, and refuse to talk to any other girls…

But gradually, instead of getting sick of her, Ji Qingyuan grew even more attached.

One time, drunk, he pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head.

“Baby, you love me so much.”

“I love you too.”

Yu Si: ???

#Another day without a breakup#

#We just can’t break up, really#

#Let’s get our marriage license as soon as we graduate owo!#

Yu Si had originally thought Ji Qingyuan was a fish she’d dragged into murky waters.

Later, she realized she was the fish in Ji Qingyuan’s pond.

And besides,

the love letter had gone to the right person.

1. A university romance. The flirtatious upperclassman at the start is no good.

2. Each other’s first love. He’s had a secret crush on her for a long time, and the male lead has been plotting this for ages. He talks himself into believing she loves him, while the female lead gradually falls for him. It’s a sweet little romance, just what you’d expect.

3. When the blurb says the love letter went to the right person, it means “the letter was sent to the person it was meant for.”

4. Someone on PO posted a story with the characters’ names changed, copying almost everything else word for word. That author is not my secret identity; I only write on Jinjiang. Righteous readers have already reported it, and the post was taken down, but pirated copies are still online = = Please take a moment to report them if you come across them.

#After dumping her online boyfriend, an upperclassman from her department starts haunting her like a ghost#

Ji Xingshuang had a slight social anxiety around men. At her friends’ urging, she got an online boyfriend during her first year of college.

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

The only problem was, he kept wanting to meet in person.

Ji Xingshuang had never wanted to meet in person.

During the summer before her sophomore year, just shy of their first anniversary, her online boyfriend suddenly messaged her at midnight on her birthday: [Xiao Xing, happy birthday. I’m at the airport in City D.]

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 City D campus to the main campus in City A.

On her first day of classes, she met an upperclassman whose voice sounded just like her online boyfriend’s. He was also wearing the bracelet she had given her online boyfriend.

Ji Xingshuang: …

This is bad.

-

Everyone around Fan Jing knew he had an online girlfriend he treasured above all else.

For her, he moved off campus just so he could stay on the phone and coax her to sleep every night.

For her, he hand-knitted scarves and bags.

For her, he went to celebrate her birthday even with 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 history, he kept up his habit of writing in a relationship journal every day, and he turned down every girl who tried to hit on him.

Someone teased him: “Don’t tell me you’re going to stay faithful to your ex for the rest of your life?”

Fan Jing just smiled without answering.

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

Someone commented: “Guess his ex wasn’t all that special.”

-

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 feelings impossible to read.

That night, Ji Xingshuang was pinned in Fan Jing’s arms, kissed until she could barely breathe.

“Xiao Xing, everyone knows how much I love you.”

● Enjoy this completed sweet romance: "After Adding the Wrong Guy on WeChat"

#I added the wrong guy on WeChat and ended up adding my brother’s roommate!#

Yun Xiu’s parents had both died, and her grandparents raised her until she got into Huai University, a top-ranked school.

Just after the semester began, she heard that her distant cousin Shen Xuyuan, who had been her favorite playmate as a child, was also at Huai University. He was a year ahead of her and studied at a different campus.

They hadn’t been in touch for over a decade. After agonizing over it for a long time, Yun Xiu managed to get Shen Xuyuan’s WeChat and add him as a friend. Not wanting to bother him, she thought they could catch up over chat first.

He never suggested meeting in person.

He did, however, repeatedly have delivery couriers bring her all sorts of things, from new milk tea flavors and hand cream to fairly expensive bracelets.

Her roommates teased her, asking what kind of guy her boyfriend was, and refused to believe he was just a cousin she called her brother.

Yan Lan was a well-known figure at Huai University. During his first year, a close-up candid photo of him quickly made him famous across campus.

There was no mystery why: his deep blue eyes were like a whirlpool at the bottom of the sea, flecked with stars and possessing the power to draw people in. They said his mother was a beautiful Russian woman.

But he himself was a genuine aloof heartthrob. Not one girl had managed to get his WeChat during his entire first year.

Until one night, when he got drunk and accidentally accepted a friend request.

The request was labeled: [Big Brother, it’s Xiuxiu]

A clichéd and boring trick.

After sobering up, Yan Lan looked at the messages in the chat, each one containing the word “Brother.” He was about to delete her when he happened to glance at her Moments and saw a photo.

In it, a girl held a flyer. Her slender, fair fingers were like fine white jade, their knuckles tinged with a faint pink, with a cute little pale mole at the base of her thumb.

Nobody knew that Yan Lan was hopelessly obsessed with hands.

One look at the hand in the photo, and he couldn’t look away.

At a club dinner, Yun Xiu ran into Shen Xuyuan at a house party. After chatting a little, she realized she had added the wrong person and had been calling a stranger “Brother” for months.

Yun Xiu was so embarrassed she felt like she’d spent the whole day baking under the blazing sun. She promptly transferred him some money and deleted him from her friends list.

Not long after, Yan Lan cornered Yun Xiu below her dorm building. He gently clasped her slender wrist, his thumb brushing over her knuckles as if by accident.

Yun Xiu: “Senior Yan, I…”

The legendary aloof heartthrob’s gaze warmed. His deep blue eyes became a cage meant for her alone. “Why did you stop calling me Brother?”

Later, Yun Xiu discovered a number of paintings in the studio at Yan Lan’s off-campus apartment.

Every one of them was of her hands.

After that, she found not only more paintings of her hands, but also all kinds of secret sketches of her.

"Adding the wrong person was a misunderstanding, but when it’s you, it’s a sweet peach oolong"
