Lang Zheng has a nemesis he can't stand. He's brash and flamboyant, while his nemesis is cool and aloof. Their personalities are naturally at odds, and, more importantly, the girl Lang Zheng likes might have a crush on his nemesis.
One day, a System suddenly barges into Lang Zheng's peaceful life, claiming he has to get back together with someone. The other person bound to the mission is his nemesis, Yan Zhi'an.
Lang Zheng: Are you out of your mind? I'm straight! Besides, Yan Zhi'an and I barely know each other. What are we supposed to get back together over?
Lang Zheng refuses.
The System says he'll die if they don't get back together.
Lang Zheng agrees.
From then on, their lives are forcibly bound together.
Yan Zhi'an is cornered by a group of unknown people in a shadowy alley where few people pass by.
System: In a reunion-after-a-breakup novel, when one person is in danger, the other can't hide their instinctive love and rushes to protect them right away!
Lang Zheng, who was just passing by, curses as he's dragged into the fight.
After a chaotic brawl, Lang Zheng briefly gains the upper hand and pulls Yan Zhi'an away. He only lets go of the other's hand once they're safely out of danger.
Yan Zhi'an turns and leaves.
Lang Zheng curses him as an ungrateful jerk. Before long, Yan Zhi'an returns with a bag of first-aid supplies.
Only when a cool hand presses a bandage to his cheek does Lang Zheng belatedly realize he's been hurt.
The spot where Yan Zhi'an's fingertips touch him tingles. Straight guy Lang Zheng finds it a little hard to get used to.
The two end up unexpectedly alone in a room together.
System: Let a passionate, all-consuming night become the turning point that rekindles their love!
The door is locked. They can't get out unless they do it, and there's even a bottle of liquor to get them in the mood.
Lang Zheng: ...
I'd rather die than sleep with a man!
But Yan Zhi'an takes this better than he expected. The lights go out. Yan Zhi'an's breath draws closer and closer, and Lang Zheng hears his cool voice whisper in his ear: "Take. Me. In."
Lang Zheng: If Yan Zhi'an is fine with it, then so am I! It's not like I'm the one losing out.
Their skin presses together, their breaths mingle. In the moonlight spilling through the window, Lang Zheng unexpectedly meets Yan Zhi'an's eyes, clouded with desire.
Then it hits him: Yan Zhi'an didn't drink anything.
Much later, the System determines that Lang Zheng and Yan Zhi'an have successfully gotten back together, then quietly leaves. At last, the two are no longer forced to stay together.
They tacitly disappear from each other's lives, as if the days they spent together were nothing more than a hazy, illusory dream.
Later, at a business banquet, Lang Zheng sees Yan Zhi'an, a wildly successful tech tycoon. The man still looks as cool and arrogant as ever, with his nose in the air.
There's a past between them that neither can quite explain. Yan Zhi'an probably doesn't want to know him either, so Lang Zheng sensibly treats him like a stranger he has just met.
After the banquet ends, Yan Zhi'an, who should have been the last to leave, surrounded by well-wishers, inexplicably stays behind.
Lang Zheng is told to take special care of him. After seeing him all the way home, Lang Zheng is about to open the door and leave when he realizes it's locked. A cool body draws near and winds around him like a snake.
Lang Zheng turns to push him away, but Yan Zhi'an presses close and tilts his head back, his lips brushing Lang Zheng's neck. His voice is suggestive:
"Zhengzheng, I won't give you another chance to leave me..."
Sunshine-bright, carefree, thick-headed straight guy × secretly in love for years, now possessive and obsessive.
Each other's first love. The top was never romantically interested in anyone before and had never truly liked anyone.
A lighthearted story, sweet with a touch of sourness, no angst.
