My Roommate: She's Actually My Homeroom Teacher

At sixteen, Xiao Jintian was so gifted that he skipped grades and made it to university early. But the new campus was a thousand miles from home, making the commute a huge inconvenience. Short on money, he gave up on renting a place alone. After a long search, he finally found an affordable room in a shared apartment and happily packed up and moved in. He assumed his roommate would be a boy his age, and was ready to split the rent and look out for each other.

Then he opened the door and ran into Xia Miqi, who was busy unpacking. Xiao Jin froze on the spot: the person who was going to share his apartment was his homeroom teacher.

Xia Miqi was just as surprised to discover that the roommate she'd found was the youngest student in her class. Teacher and student, man and woman, found themselves sharing a home without warning. At school, she was a strict and responsible homeroom teacher who kept an eye on Xiao Jin's grades and conduct. Back at their rented apartment, with her teacherly role set aside, they became roommates sharing a kitchen and living room.

Awkwardness became the daily refrain. They had to carefully maintain the boundaries between teacher and student, while the everyday hassles of living together inevitably brought them into conflict. Their once-simple teacher-student relationship quietly began to change because of this unexpected living arrangement. The sides of each other they never showed in class slowly emerged as they spent day after day together.
