I've Wanted to Flirt with the School Bully for Ages

[Sweet romance + childhood sweethearts + showbiz + mutual devotion + both leads are each other’s first and only love]

[Early on] A cool, taciturn top student × a hot-tempered school bully in public, but a sunny, adorable boy in private

[Later] A career-driven CEO × a cool, aloof singer with a bad-boy charm in public, but a clingy, lovestruck puppy in private

(PS: This is a slow burn, with little intimacy in the first 80,000 words.)

At Shenghua High, Shen Mo, from Class Five, Year Two, is a notorious school bully.

Shen Mo has always done whatever he wants and found fault with everyone, until…

His childhood sweetheart transfers back to school, and the ruthless bully turns into a clingy, manipulative sweetheart.

Shen Mo goes to find Sang Ye and discovers his rival in love is there too.

Shen Mo deliberately trips and falls. “Ye-ye, it hurts.”

His rival: I’m reporting him! Shen Mo just ran into it on purpose!

He goes to a haunted house with his friends.

Shen Mo pretends to be scared. “Ye-ye, I’m afraid of ghosts.”

His buddies: Is this guy nuts?

Years later, someone sees the cool, commanding female CEO hold down the head of a top male singer. The singer expertly wraps an arm around her waist, eyes hazy and voice restrained. “Ye-ye, are you flirting with me again?”

The CEO strokes his neck with her fingers, her red lips brushing his Adam’s apple. Her mesmerizing eyes leave him utterly spellbound.

“I’ve wanted to flirt with you for a long time.”
