Jump Up and Kiss You

A sweet university campus romance: 6’3″ silent and stoic volleyball player x 5’1″ feisty and adorable little spitfire

Zheng Xiyu stood 6’3″ tall and had earned her spot at the nation’s top university on a sports scholarship. She dominated courts across every campus, effortlessly outshining a slew of college heartthrobs.

At the school mixer, she found herself surrounded by admirers who plied her with drinks and started teasing her. “Ever been in love? How tall’s your partner? Any regular guy would have to think twice before confessing to someone like you, right?”

Zheng Xiyu wanted nothing to do with it, but amid the growing chorus of jeers, a tiny firecracker jumped forward, shouting with all her might: “Who the hell hasn’t dated these days? Anyone too chicken to confess is just a coward! Hey, Zheng Xiyu! I’ve been chasing you forever—give me an answer tonight. Say yes to me; your girlfriend’s only 5’1″!”

Silence fell over the crowd. Zheng Xiyu gazed at the pretty girl, her cheeks warming. After a moment, she said, “Who are you?”

Campus beauty Tang Tianman was the stuff of legends at N University. Baby-faced with a killer figure. From an ultra-wealthy family. Hot-tempered enough to scrap with anyone. And gay as they come.

She’d struck out chasing a tall klutz from the Sports Institute.

She had chased her for years.

And the girl didn’t even know her name.

Tang Tianman didn’t give a damn about any of those stories—except the last one.

So she’d bounce around badgering Zheng Xiyu day in and day out: “Do you know my name yet today? How about tomorrow? The day after?”

Until the day Zheng Xiyu scooped her up onto the desk and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Call me your girlfriend.”
