Summary
The year I was a sophomore, I rented a room off campus.
A man lived next door, glued to his phone every day, on long calls with his girlfriend.
He was clingy and controlling.
I had never seen his face, and I had formed a very low opinion of him.
Until the day his phone died and he knocked on my door.
“May I borrow your phone — I need to check in with my girlfriend,” he asked.
I opened the door.
And standing in the hallway was none other than Chen Yuchuan — the cool, untouchable guy I had secretly loved.
