Help! Why Is My Arch-Nemesis Imagining I’m in Love with Him Again?

[Transmigrate into a book + mind-reading + enemies + goofy sweet romance + mutual devotion] Xu Xingmian has transmigrated into a book. He’s become the spoiled young master in a rich-kid school romance who pesters Gu Chenzhou every day and eventually ruins his own life until he’s written out of the story. After learning how it ends, he promptly decides: Cherish life and stay away from the male lead. But on his very first day, he discovers he can hear Gu Chenzhou’s thoughts. Xu Xingmian looks at him for three seconds. Gu Chenzhou, aloof on the outside: [Staring at me for so long? Do you like me?] Xu Xingmian casually hands him a bottle of water. [He’s only giving it to me? He really does like me.] Xu Xingmian can’t take it anymore. “Gu Chenzhou, I really don’t like you.” Gu Chenzhou gives a cool nod. “I know.” But inside, he’s perfectly calm: [He’s in such a hurry to explain. He must be shy.] Xu Xingmian: “…” Dude. How did you even become the top student in the whole school? Later, the whole school thinks Xu Xingmian is pursuing Gu Chenzhou. Xu Xingmian desperately tries to explain, but in Gu Chenzhou’s own imagination, he’s already won Xu Xingmian over, step by step. Then one day, Xu Xingmian suddenly can’t hear his thoughts anymore. He should have been happy, but for the first time, he lies awake all night. That’s when Xu Xingmian realizes: Maybe Gu Chenzhou isn’t the only one who fell first.
