Stop Chasing Me, Li Xingxing! you're my destiny

Li Xingxing *Age: 19 | Year 1 University Student *A bubbly, cute, and overly dramatic romantic. *Head over heels for Zhou Yiran since day one. *Keeps trying ridiculous ways to win him over (poems, fake fainting). *known around campus as “the love-struck bunny.”

Zhou Yiran *Age: 19 | Year 1 University Student *Cold, quiet, gets straight A’s. *Completely fed up with Li Xingxing’s antics. *Secretly finds him kind of cute… maybe… occasionally. *always wearing earbuds, pretending not to hear Xingxing confess for the 143rd time.

..... Let's begin .......

The university campus buzzed with energy, freshmen scurrying around with their maps upside down, upperclassmen yelling.

Join our club or regret it forever!

And the cafeteria already running out of bubble tea. But amidst the chaos stood Li Xingxing, eyes sparkling like a cheesy K-drama lead.

Li Xingxing

*Clutched his admission form tightly and whispered to himself* This is the start of my romantic college life... I can feel it! Today, I’ll meet the man of my dreams! I won't let my boring life ruin my university life!!!

And then it happened.

A gentle breeze passed, cherry blossoms fell out of nowhere (despite it being autumn), and he appeared — tall, clean-cut black hair, sharp jawline, books tucked under one arm like a walking academic god.

Zhou Yiran... join our club!!!!!*called him from afar*

The name echoed in Xingxing’s ears like music. He stared. Gawked. Froze.

Time slowed down. Background faded. Angels might’ve been singing. Or maybe that was someone’s ringtone. Didn’t matter.

Li Xingxing

*Grabbed his chest dramatically* That’s him. That’s my future husband.

A student passing by paused.

passerby

You mean Zhou Yiran? The ice block from Class 1?

Li Xingxing

*looks at that passerby* yea any problem?!

passerby

He completed his high-school here itself, at which he rejected seven girls in one year, do you think you will have a choice????

Li Xingxing

*clenched his fists* Eight will be my lucky number.

.....

Five minutes later… Zhou Yiran was sitting under a tree, reading quietly, earbuds in, entirely unaware of the oncoming storm.

Li Xingxing

Excuse me! *bounced over, eyes sparkling*

Zhou Yiran

*didn't look up*

Li Xingxing

Hi! I’m Li Xingxing, new to the literature department! Also— *inhaled deeply* —I love you at first sight.

Zhou Yiran

*slowly looked up, pulling out one earbud* …What?

Li Xingxing

I said I love you.

A long pause. Wind rustled the leaves. Somewhere in the distance, a bird choked.

Zhou Yiran

*Blinked once* Seek help *said plainly, and put his earbud back in*

Li Xingxing

*Gasped* He’s shy!

Zhou Yiran

*Stood up and walked away.*

Li Xingxing

*Followed three steps behind, like an excited puppy* Don’t worry, I’m persistent!

Zhou Yiran

*Walked faster*

Li Xingxing

*Chased after him* Let’s go on a date! I know a place with great peach pudding—

Zhou Yiran

No!

Li Xingxing

what about a study date?

Zhou Yiran

No!

Li Xingxing

A marriage meeting? I’ll bring tea—

Zhou Yiran

I will file a restraining order.

Li Xingxing

*Grinned* He definitely likes me.

Zhou Yiran

*Stopped walking, turned to look him dead in the eye* I don't like you!

Li Xingxing

*Dramatically clutched his heart* He said ‘you’! That’s progress!

Zhou Yiran

*Stared for a long second, whispered something that sounded like* what kind of species are you *and walked faster than ever*

...

That night, Xingxing wrote in his notebook titled
