On the first day of his sophomore year, Lin Yushu finally mustered up the courage to send his crush a file titled Love Letter.docx.
But it was quickly returned with a cold response:
Crush: Formatting error. Rewrite it.
One attempt at taking the initiative was enough to make him an introvert for life. Heartbroken, Lin Yushu went to a bar to drown his sorrows. His friends tried to persuade him to give up while he still could—
Ding!
His phone rang.
Crush: Busy?
Crush: I’ve corrected it for you. Love Letter (1).docx
Lin Yushu: O.O!!!

Although there had been a minor twist, the love letter had finally been successfully delivered. Lin Yushu felt that he and his crush had grown a little closer.
The department organized a weekend camping trip, so he asked his crush whether he would be going.
Crush: Yeah. I heard there’s a meteor shower that night. We can go to the mountaintop and make a wish.
Lin Yushu: Why would we leave the main group? We’ll get scolded.
Crush: …That’s called a date.
Lin Yushu: Oh, oh!
It suddenly started raining during the sports meet, so Lin Yushu brought an umbrella to his crush.
Crush: It’s not raining heavily. Let’s share one.
Lin Yushu: But I have my own umbrella. Why do we need to squeeze together? Won’t it get hot?
Crush: …That’s called building romantic tension.
Lin Yushu: Ohhh!
As autumn turned into winter and the weather grew colder, Lin Yushu treated his crush to milk tea.
Crush: Is your drink good?
Lin Yushu: It’s delicious! Do you want some too? Then why didn’t you order the same thing as me earlier?
Crush: …
This time, without his crush’s guidance, it took Lin Yushu half an hour to finally figure it out.
He hurriedly held his milk tea up to his crush’s mouth and eagerly answered:
“Oh, oh! I know! This is called an indirect kiss!”
But his crush bypassed the milk tea altogether and kissed the corner of Lin Yushu’s lips instead.
“This is called kissing. Have you learned now?”

After receiving hands-on lessons from his crush, the two of them had done everything they were supposed to do—and were even doing some things they weren’t supposed to.
At the final step, Lin Yushu suddenly called for a halt. His face flushed red as he asked:
“Qin Yixi, have I graduated?”
Qin Yixi had barely nodded when Lin Yushu pulled up his trousers, his gaze suddenly resolute.
“Then I’m going to start pursuing you!”
Qin Yixi, sitting at the head of the bed, was left in utter confusion.
“?”
