The Background Extra at an Elite Academy Was Reborn and Became Everyone's Favorite

[Updated daily, at no set time. Sometimes there will be extra updates.] (Inline comments are now open~) Qi Yuan was a poor but top-performing student at Vilica Noble Academy. He stuck to his principles: don't get involved, don't meddle. After witnessing plenty of dramatic scenes, he became even more convinced he was right. For four years, he was careful and cautious. He didn't finally relax until graduation day. But not long after, while Qi Yuan was at home preparing for job interviews, his younger sister sent him out to buy groceries. A speeding sports car hit him and sent him flying ten meters. Unwilling to die just like that, Qi Yuan used his last breath to memorize the identity of the person who had run him over, then cursed eighteen generations of their ancestors before closing his eyes. Qi Yuan never imagined he would open his eyes again. Looking at his reflection in the glass, he fell into deep thought. He had returned to his first day of school. He thought he was dreaming, but the pain when he pinched himself felt real enough. In the end, he accepted his fate, grabbed the secondhand suitcase he'd found, and headed to the dormitory. That night, however, Qi Yuan had a strange dream. In the dream, he was holding a bottle of water and sitting on a bench beside a flower bed. Qi Yuan was completely bewildered, and thought he had transmigrated again. He was about to leave when a burning-hot hand grabbed his wrist as soon as he stood up. Frowning, he tried to pull away, but the other person held on tightly. Qi Yuan was about to demand to know what they wanted, but before he could get a word out, they cut him off. "I'm sorry, baby. I'm late. Don't be mad." It wasn't just the words that left him speechless. It was the other person's face, too. If he remembered correctly, this was one of the academy's most notorious rich kids, wasn't he? "You Qinghe?" Qi Yuan asked with a puzzled frown. "Baby, it's me." His eyes were red, and wispy strands of hair fell over his prominent brow ridge. His bright, puppy-dog eyes looked pitiful, too. Qi Yuan had always thought of him as an arrogant, unruly person. But now... well... Qi Yuan figured he must be crazy to dream of You Qinghe calling him baby. Besides, he was straight. He pressed his lips together and struggled again. Once he managed to break free, he didn't notice the hurt look on the other person's face. Then, without saying a word, he turned and ran. Why wouldn't he run? What else was he supposed to do, stand there awkwardly staring at the guy? But no matter how far he ran, the same scene always repeated. He would get up from the bench, have his wrist grabbed, and be called baby. After going through the same loop more than ten times, Qi Yuan was completely numb. With no other choice, he used his pitifully basic acting skills to soothe him. "Mm, I'm not mad." But to his surprise, the next moment, the other person held his face and kissed him. Qi Yuan: "…" Aaaaaah! I'm going crazy! I'm tainted! I'm tainted! He felt like he was about to fall apart, and wanted nothing more than to kill the other person. Before he could punch him, the dream began to fade. When Qi Yuan woke up, it was already light outside. Lying in bed, Qi Yuan was utterly devastated and at a complete loss. He could only blame the bizarre dream on side effects of being reborn. He thought he wouldn't have that kind of dream again after experiencing it once. But when night fell and he went to sleep again, he recognized the familiar dreamscape, and felt as if he had died all over again. After that, Qi Yuan often had strange dreams. The person in his dreams changed. There wasn't just one, but all of them claimed to be his boyfriend. As his dreams grew increasingly absurd, Qi Yuan spent every day drowning in embarrassment, unaware that the academy's rich kids were secretly searching for someone as the days passed. He also had no idea that someone observant had already noticed him and was trying every means to get close. [Reading Guide] [1. The writing is amateurish.] [2. The plot develops slowly. There are actually plenty of plot points that haven't been written yet, so it's not a plot hole.] [3. In the dreams, he may be involved with several people at once, but not in real life.] [4. This is a no-brainer harem novel. Don't overanalyze it, just enjoy the ride.] Theme: Follow your heart. You might find something different.
