Mingzhu

[Both are each other's first and only, sweet, devoted to each other, parallel worlds]

When people get embarrassed around Lu Xingzhi, he thinks they're provoking him, so he turns around and provokes them right back.

To everyone else, Lu Xingzhi is a refined, polite, handsome high school boy who keeps his distance.

To Ye Luming, Lu Xingzhi is a fool: a teary-eyed, helpless little bookworm.

The real Lu Xingzhi is world-weary, wicked, and twisted, with a dark and warped heart.

I want to see you listening intently while I explain a problem, looking all cool and obedient. It makes me want to tease you so badly.

I want to see you ask me for help when you can't solve a problem, all awkward and adorable. I want to pat your head, then explain it again.

I want to see how smug you look once you understand. I want to kiss you and tell you how clever you are, Lulu.

But when I see you talking to other people all the time, I want to tie you up.

When I see you smile at someone else, I want to... make you realize you're wrong and promise not to do it again.

In the next world, please love me a little more, too.
