He Must Have A Crush On Me!
Zui Xiao Fu Sheng
Everyone knew that Su Huai, the top student in Heng High School's senior year, was the school bully Lu Yubei's devoted follower. The two had known each other for three years, and for three years, Su Huai had taken care of Lu Yubei meticulously. They were desk mates in class and roommates outside of it. Su Huai was always at Lu Yubei's beck and call, handled all his homework, and even if Lu Yubei fell sick, Su Huai would rush back from competitions miles away to cook and deliver medicine. As a self-proclaimed steel-straight straight guy, Lu Yubei pondered: He must have a crush on me! =v= His rowdy friends and even the entire Heng High School fandom cheered: He absolutely has a crush on you! So, when would he confess? Lu Yubei waited and waited, rehearsing rejection speeches in his mind over and over. Just as he began to think that, well, Su Huai liked him so pitifully that maybe he could reluctantly accept his confession... Su Huai ran away. Clutching a college acceptance letter that should have placed him in the same city as Su Huai, Lu Yubei stood in their agreed-upon grove, drenched in rain all night. The next day, burning with a 39-degree fever, he repeatedly dialed a number that had long since become invalid. Furious, he raged: Didn't he say he had a crush on me? Where is he now??? * Due to his family's sudden bankruptcy from failed investments, Su Huai had to transfer back to X City to continue high school. Relying on his stellar grades, he wondered if he could apply for a full tuition waiver. Right after passing the entrance exam but before he could even ask, he unexpectedly received sponsorship from a mysterious billionaire. The billionaire was generous, offering 500,000 upfront plus a smartphone with a pre-installed SIM card. There was only one condition: During high school, Su Huai was to keep an eye on the billionaire's rebellious, arrogant, and stubbornly unambitious son. Of course, it’d be even better if he could also take care of his daily needs, tutor him, and drag him into a top-tier university. Bonus pay upon completion. On his first day of school, Su Huai glanced at Lu Yubei's strikingly bold white hair as he slept beside him, then checked his bank notification showing a string of digits deposited instantly. Smiling, he slipped his phone back into his desk: Earning money isn’t shameful. So, when high school ended smoothly and he took his final payment to study overseas, he never expected that the once-proud white-haired boy, who seemed like he’d never bow to anyone, would wait crying for him in the rain all night. Ten years later, they reunited. The rebellious teen had transformed into the stern, cold-hearted "Young Master Lu," while the former academic ace had become the radiant leader of a rising unicorn industry. Dressed sharply in a suit, Lu Yubei glared at the drunken man slumped on the couch, sneering, "Years apart, and you don’t look much better than when you were with me." The man lifted his head, his strikingly handsome face even more breathtaking than before. After a silent pause, he murmured softly, "...Who are you?" Lu Yubei (shocked, heartbroken, barely holding back tears): …Huh? What’s happening? Didn’t he have a crush… at least at some point???
