After My Archenemy Took Me In

[Switch]

Lin Zechuan treasured his second chance at life, so he fought with everything he had to stay alive. Then he went to military academy and met Wen Ji.

He wanted to be friends with Wen Ji.

An inexplicable feeling welled up inside him, making him unable to stop wanting to get closer to Wen Ji. But when he saw Wen Ji's gentle yet distant double standards, Lin Zechuan couldn't help smiling.

Do you really hate me? You weren't like this when we first met, were you?

Lin Zechuan thought.

Wen Ji finally met the person he had been longing for.

He was good, kind, and resilient. Though he was far from home and had endured countless hardships, he had never lost his purity of heart.

But I'm not the same, Wen Ji thought.

I'm a coward. I'm a hypocrite. I'm not what I seem. I've done a lot of terrible things, so don't come near me.

But as Wen Ji watched Lin Zechuan walking toward him, he suddenly realized he'd made the wrong choice...

Wen Ji was in the command department at the Federal Military Academy; Lin Zechuan was in its infantry department.

One was an Alpha heir, expected by his family to succeed them and admired by everyone.

The other was a Beta commoner with no parents and no notable background.

They seemed to come from two entirely different worlds, but their excellence led them to become comrades in the same legion after graduating from military academy.

Remembering how they had clashed and sparked against each other at school, their close friends worried about what the future held for them. They feared one of them might try to settle a score on the battlefield and end up sacrificing himself... or taking the other down with him.

Hearing their friends' sincere concern, both men were baffled.

Wen Ji sipped his tea elegantly. "I would never throw away my future for that thoughtless fool."

Lin Zechuan coolly sheathed his blade. "For that two-faced clown? I'm not stupid."

Their friends: Yikes. (Sucking in a breath.) Then what about the way you beat... Haha, I didn't say anything!

Their inner thoughts: If we didn't have past experience to go on, those words might actually be believable. (Looks away.)

Things took a strange turn. Lin Zechuan and Wen Ji became more and more hostile toward each other, yet on the battlefield they seemed like kindred spirits, perfectly in sync.

In the end, their friends stared woodenly at the pair, now hailed as the "Twin Stars," and wondered what to make of it all.

So, were they still supposed to break up their fights?

Before they could figure out the answer, the rising Twin Stars of the Federation suddenly fell in a border battle, lost among the sea of stars...

At the same time, in a forgotten outcast district, deep inside a mountain of garbage, a beggar saw a young man who might or might not be alive. After a long hesitation, the beggar resolutely reached out...

A little scene:

Wen Ji propped his chin on his hand and smiled gently at Lin Zechuan.

"Actually, I've known you for a long time."

Lin Zechuan didn't answer. He narrowed his eyes and admired Wen Ji's scholarly yet wicked look in his silver-rimmed glasses.

He silently approved of his own taste in glasses, then replied,

"Have you?"

"Then let me tell you a secret, too."

A faint confidence showed between Lin Zechuan's brows.

"I know you far better than you imagine."

"We each traveled thousands of miles to meet, though neither of us had arranged it."

* ABO, with some original settings.

* An illogical, indulgence-driven amateur story, orz.

Here's my next book, planned to start in March next year, ovo.

This Special Consultant Is a Little Crazy

[Federal Second Legion's Chief Commander Felix

X

Ji Suizhi, Captain of the First Enforcement Team at the Bureau for Handling Paranormal Incidents]

Felix died.

But he was reborn.

He was reborn in a place that left him utterly dumbfounded.

Worse still, Felix couldn't accept that he had become not only undocumented, but also illiterate!

At the academy, he had ranked near the top in courses such as interstellar navigation and battlefield command. During an interstellar joint exercise, he had earned the call sign "Blade of the Galaxy." His combat style was strange and unpredictable, and he had won multiple battles against superior numbers, becoming the tenth person to earn the title "Nebula Rose"...

Felix: So what's the point of being reborn?

Felix had intended to send himself neatly back to meet the Grim Reaper, but then he felt the precious weapon that had come with him: !!!

Well, maybe staying alive wasn't out of the question.

Having made up his mind, Felix decided to start from scratch and live a good life. Then he began absorbing knowledge about this world.

Felix: ...Maybe he should just die after all.

What's an Alpha? What's an Omega?

What are glands? What do you mean, a cycle???

Oh, my God!

In a daze, Felix wandered to a riverbank and looked at his handsome face. "Old friend, I think this river can take me back. What do you think?"

So lost in his soliloquy, Felix didn't notice the figure slowly approaching from the side.

Everything spun around. Click. Felix stared at the handcuffs on his wrists, deep in thought.

Putting that aside, Felix looked at the tall man who had cuffed him, eyes narrowing. For the sake of that face, he could go a little easy when he beat him up later.

If he's an Alpha, he should be pretty tough, right?

In the end, Felix finally realized something extremely important.

He couldn't understand the language spoken here!

Ji Suizhi thought he must have lost his mind.

He'd brought a walking headache home.

The headache wasn't picky about food or where he stayed, though, and was easy enough to keep.

Ji Suizhi had planned to ignore the roommate he'd brought home himself, right up until the nth time he had to clean up after the trouble this headache caused.

Ji Suizhi: ...

But when he saw the headache's haughty expression, Ji Suizhi thought there must be something wrong with him.

Otherwise, why was his heart beating so fast?

Ji Suizhi: ...No, that's not it.

He must be angry!

...Right?

"We're in different times and spaces, yet the shadows behind us remain entwined."
