Aloof on the Outside

1

Xia Yu, the most popular boy in school, was also the handsome and aloof art club president. 

Universally recognized as good-looking, also recognized as cool, low-key, and difficult to get close to.

Zhou Ding: Hah, pretentious.

He had long since decided that Xia Yu was unlikable. As a man, the guy had awfully thin arms and legs, especially those hands, which were even more delicate than a woman’s. He was simply a white-faced pretty boy capable of doing nothing but holding a paintbrush.

Zhou Ding firmly believed that there would never be any crossroads between them.

Until one day, the pretty boy rested a hand on his shoulder and asked with a grin, “Want to date?”

Zhou Ding: “…Sure.”

It was graduation season again, and a senior finally gathered the courage to confess to Xia Yu.

Holding her love letter, she entered the empty changing room, only to unexpectedly see the president of the basketball club, Zhou Ding, standing before the lockers, angrily rummaging through clothes.

“Who are you looking for?” He turned his head, glaring at her with a displeased expression.

“X-Xia Yu.”

“Not here.”

The senior left as if fleeing.

The moment the door closed, a pair of slender arms reached out from the locker, wrapping around Zhou Ding’s shoulders.

“Don’t be mad; continue kissing me.”

The voice was husky, with a teasing hint in the upturned corners of his eyes.

It was none other than Xia Yu, the “not here” individual Zhou Ding had just referred to.
