To make his start at university easier, Lin Zhiyu befriended a sophomore senior online. Following the senior’s advice and much careful thought, he decided to ditch dorm life and rent an apartment off-campus.
His roommate turned out to be a moody, intimidating hunk with a face that looked like the whole world owed him eight million dollars. Lin Zhiyu had never seen him give anyone a kind look. After a few days, all Lin Zhiyu could remember about him was his cold, piercing aura.
One day, Lin Zhiyu mentioned the roommate to his online senior. Senior: Do you hate him? Lin Zhiyu: Not really! Senior: You hate him. Lin Zhiyu: …I don’t. Senior: Mm, I know you like him. …
As the semester went on:
-
The senior helped him with his math homework.
-
The senior sent him a birthday gift.
-
The senior recommended all the best, affordable places to eat.
Eventually, Lin Zhiyu suggested meeting in person. Senior: I’m ugly. Lin Zhiyu: It’s okay, I’m not into looks. Senior: You won’t like me. Lin Zhiyu: I will. Let’s meet up. Senior: No. “…”
Later, Lin Zhiyu accidentally wandered into his roommate’s room. The walls were densely covered with photos of him and snippets of his personal information. Lin Zhiyu pointed at a note: “You got this part wrong. I don’t like girls.” While Lin Rangchuan stood there dazed, Lin Zhiyu cupped his face and said, “You’re not ugly at all.”
Note: Lin Rangchuan acts cold and heartless in front of his “wife” (Lin Zhiyu). But behind his back, he obsesses over his photos every single day. #Crush-to-Lovers #MutualPining
