Help! My Roommate Is My University Professor

[#Sweet romance #Secret crush becomes mutual #Living together #Age gap #Both untouched]

On the day Lin Zhizhi graduated, her landlord stood her up, and she crouched by the roadside, on the verge of tears.

Her crush of four years, the aloof professor Huo Ting, happened to pass by. "I have a spare room at home. Want to stay there?"

Lin Zhizhi's mind went blank with excitement, and she followed him with her luggage.

After they moved in together, Huo Ting laid down the rules:

"I'll make breakfast. Be home by ten. Don't bring anyone of the opposite sex home."

She obediently nodded, but late that night she came across a trending campus post:

"A rational discussion: Is Professor Huo Ting asexual?"

With trembling fingers, she replied under an anonymous account: "His fingers are so pretty... I want to hold his hand."

The next second, her bedroom door swung open.

Huo Ting was holding the pajamas she'd left in the bathroom. His gaze swept over the words on her screen, and his eyes darkened.

"So this is what my student thinks about every day?"

Later, she unexpectedly discovered the secret locked in a drawer in Huo Ting's study:

Every course photo of her from the past four years, notes she'd scribbled, even a screenshot of a news story about him saving someone on her first day of college.

On the back of a photo, in his sharp handwriting, were the words:

"My beloved, like the reeds, will cross the water to come to me."

Late that night, he pressed her against the bookshelves in the study, his breath scorching.

"I've played the gentleman for four years. I've had enough."

"Lin Zhizhi, this time you walked in here yourself."

"Don't even think about running away again."
