[Campus Romance + Dual Male Leads + Rivals-to-Lovers + Mutual Secret Crush + Intense Romantic Tension]
As one of the nation’s top universities, Lan University broadcast its opening ceremony live.
Jiang Yu, the freshman representative, stepped onto the stage in a neatly fastened tie to deliver his speech.
The young man stood tall and straight. His white dress shirt fit him perfectly, his features were strikingly refined, and with a casual, effortless adjustment of the microphone, he immediately drew excited screams from the girls below the stage.
Sitting in the audience, Shi Jing let out a cold scoff.
After the opening ceremony ended, Shi Jing, carrying his little turtle, landed an interview opportunity thanks to the stunning looks he had been born with.
The reporter asked, “What do you think of the freshman representative?”
“Nothing special,” Shi Jing replied.
The reporter quickly followed up, “You and the freshman representative are from the same city, and you were also the second-ranked science student. You must know Jiang Yu quite well, right?”
“That’s right. For example, Jiang Yu only managed to take first place because he got lucky.”
The reporter changed the subject.
“Is this turtle your beloved pet?”
“Yes.”
“Does it have a name?”
“It does.”
Shi Jing looked directly into the camera and smiled.
“His name is Jiang Yu.”

The legend of Shi Jing and Jiang Yu’s bad relationship followed them all the way from high school to university.
Rumor had it that they had competed fiercely for the top rank in their grade during high school and had even liked the same girl.
University forums were always full of random shipping discussions. Thanks to their inexplicable chemistry and that damned sense of fate that kept bringing them together, Shi Jing and Jiang Yu steadily claimed the number-one spot on the campus CP rankings.
Shi Jing had never taken the forum gossip seriously.
How could Jiang Yu possibly like him?
The only way that would happen was if the Earth exploded.
Much later, on an ordinary day, Jiang Yu suddenly lowered his guard and said:
“Shi Jing, stop looking back.”
“Come love me instead.”
—
This heartbeat-inducing love was like a tsunami—
like mountains collapsing and the earth splitting apart,
like the sun and moon losing their light.
With just one fleeting glance from him,
all things came back to life.
