Pei Qinghuai had a terrifying dream.
He dreamed he fell for a boy, got jealous over him with the school bully, and spent two years in high school as a devoted second male lead.
When the boy was almost hit by a ball, Pei Qinghuai rushed to shield him first, earning himself a concussion and a month in the hospital.
When a teacher misunderstood the boy, Pei Qinghuai hurried to plead his case, only to be publicly criticized and insulted by the teacher.
In the end, the boy still rejected him before the college entrance exams and got together with the school bully who had always picked on him. Pei Qinghuai was heartbroken, did terribly on the exams, and fell to over nine hundredth place in his grade.
Their school had just over nine hundred students. Pei Qinghuai had never ranked anywhere but first in his grade. He woke up drenched in sweat. "..."
The good news was that their school was the best in the city and had no such thing as a school bully.
Even better, the boy in his dream had the surname Yan and was exceptionally handsome. According to Pei Qinghuai's inquiries, no one like that went to their school.
Pei Qinghuai lay back down, relieved. So it had just been a nightmare.
But the next day at school, he heard that a school bully from a neighboring school had transferred in.
Pei Qinghuai: "??"
For several days, Pei Qinghuai worried and fretted. When he couldn't find any boy surnamed Yan, he finally relaxed a little. It was all just a coincidence!
When he got home, his mother brought out a thin, shabby-looking boy and said he would be staying with them for a while.
Pei Qinghuai knew his mother was kind by nature and understood. Calmly, he held out his hand. "Hi, I'm Pei Qinghuai."
The boy wiped the dirt off his hand on his clothes, then carefully took Pei Qinghuai's hand. "Hi, I'm Yan Jing."
"Yan?!"
The top student Pei had never been this flustered in his life.
He had guarded against the school, but never expected the fire to start at home!
Yan Jing watched the fair, luminous beauty's expression suddenly change, and thought he had done something wrong.
Maybe his hand was too dirty, or he smelled bad enough to offend him. Yan Jing immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Though the other boy was nearly ten centimeters taller than him, Pei Qinghuai saw Yan Jing in ragged clothes, his eyes cautious, like a stray dog with nowhere to go, afraid of making him angry.
Pei Qinghuai's heart softened.
He could just keep his distance. Yan Jing's destined partner had already arrived at school. All Pei Qinghuai had to do was avoid becoming that devoted but useless second male lead.
In the first week after deciding to stay away from the boys' romance, Yan Jing cooked for Pei Qinghuai.
Pei Qinghuai: "?" The Last Supper?
In his dream, Yan Jing was a menace in the kitchen, a top-tier one. His first meal, zucchini stewed with eggplant, sent the school bully straight to the emergency room.
Pei Qinghuai firmly refused, but Yan Jing looked at him pitifully. "I spent all afternoon learning. Just try a bite." As he spoke, he opened the lunchbox: chicken legs, steak, and dry-pot shrimp.
Pei Qinghuai: ...
This was really hard to refuse.
The school bully walked by. "That smells so good. What are you eating? Let me try some."
Pei Qinghuai stopped his chopsticks, hesitating.
The next second, Yan Jing turned around and glared at the school bully. "Get lost."
Pei Qinghuai rubbed his eyes. He thought he'd just seen a stray dog bare its teeth over its food.
But the next moment, Yan Jing turned back to him with a docile smile. "Go on, eat. It's only for you."
In the second week after deciding to stay away from the boys' romance, the school bully came to ask Pei Qinghuai for help with a problem.
Pei Qinghuai: "Aren't you supposed to ask Yan Jing today?"
And then gaze into each other's eyes at the library, fall for each other, and hold hands shyly.
School bully: ?
The last-place student asking the second-to-last-place student? What are you planning to learn, how to roll dice in the exam room? :)
The night before the college entrance exams, Pei Qinghuai was held in Yan Jing's arms as Yan Jing nuzzled his neck affectionately.
Yan Jing sniffed and kissed the cool, aloof beauty, so happy he nearly fainted. "I'll definitely get into a university in the capital and come find you."
Faced once again with a ridiculous reality that was the polar opposite of his dream, Pei Qinghuai remained calm. He had been admitted through the recommendation program.
A one-on-one romance between an independent, strong, beautiful bottom and his besotted top.
Once this insecure stray dog finds his owner, his true nature comes out. The husband he fell for at first sight... His beautiful husband, who acts tough but is softhearted...
Note: The school bully is an ultra-high-pressure photovoltaic light bulb.
