Tsundere, cold-faced, says the opposite of what he means gong × lively, cheerful little sunshine shou
Handsome gong, cute shou
Jiang Luo has never met anyone harder to read than his new deskmate.
His face is always cold, and he never spares anyone with his words. If he weren't so handsome, his enemies would be lined up for miles.
But somehow, this guy knows everything about him: that he likes apricot-flavored milk, that he likes plush toys, and that whenever he says, "I'm fine," the other guy will silently stand by his side and choose him without hesitation.
After being steeped in the romantic novels his classmates love for so long, Jiang Luo grows more and more convinced that his aloof deskmate has a crush on him.
He waits patiently for a few weeks, but Jiang Li makes no move at all.
Enough is enough. One day after school, he corners him in the dorm room:
"Do you have a crush on me? Just say it. I might consider it."
Jiang Li looks down at him for a few seconds. "You're imagining things." Then he walks around him and leaves.
"You... Keep denying it, then!"
"We're done! We're done! We're done!"
Jiang Li stops, turns around, pins him to the bed, and buries his face in Jiang Luo's neck with a laugh.
"...I can't deny it."
"Idiot."
Jiang Li thinks he must be going crazy.
He crawled out of an endless hell, and now his greatest pleasure every day is watching his seventeen-year-old self lose his temper. Watching him argue with his roommates, watching the class beauty chase him around the classroom, watching his eyes light up like bulbs when he eats strawberry cake.
Each time he watches, his heart softens a little more.
He starts secretly being good to him. He slips him milk, keeps people away from him, and pushes him to go running. One day, the little sunshine corners him in the dorm and asks if he has a crush on him.
He goes quiet for two seconds, then replies, "You're imagining things."
He hears an indignant "We're done!" behind him. How can someone be so cute while threatening to cut ties?
He turns around, pins Jiang Luo beneath him, and buries his face deep in the crook of his neck.
"It's not a crush. I'm in love with you."
Until one night that should never have happened, when a remnant instance drags everyone into the darkness.
Jiang Luo stands at the front of the group. His palms are sweating with fear, but he still puts himself between his friends and danger, one by one. When Jiang Li arrives, this is what he sees: his seventeen-year-old self, who has yet to experience any cruelty, already doing what he once did.
He sighs and raises a hand.
He draws a weapon from thin air, a weapon that should not exist in this world, and holds a blue-glowing talisman between his fingers.
"I command you..."
The moment his spirit words leave his lips, the entire instance falls silent.
"Disperse!"
"Jiang Luo, even if you don't take a single step..."
"I'll still take that hundred-and-first step for you, without hesitation."
