My Archrival Fell from the Sky, and He's Secretly in Love with Me

Lu Yu is known throughout No. 3 High as both a bottom-of-the-class student and the school heartthrob. Thanks to his down-to-earth personality, he's been everyone's darling for two years straight.

One day, a cool, aloof guy shows up at home. His biological parents warmly introduce him: "This is your older brother. From now on, we're family."

A few days later, his new brother, Zhou Huanyu, transfers to his school as a stunningly handsome top student. Cold, arrogant, and distant, he steals Lu Yu's school-heartthrob title on his very first day.

A question mark slowly appears over Lu Yu's head: A mortal enemy dropped out of nowhere?

-

Lu Yu is the only one who considers Zhou Huanyu his mortal enemy. They run into each other constantly, and Lu Yu is fed up with him.

So he starts confiding in the real gaming pro and older brother he met online two years ago. What began as asking for game tips soon turns into them talking about everything.

Lu Yu vents about his troubles and lets off steam.

Lu Yu: I don't give a damn about grades. What pisses me off is how he acts like he's all that!

The other guy always replies quickly: Mm, I know.

Their everyday conversations can be pretty incoherent, but Lu Yu, a straightforward, blunt guy, doesn't find anything strange about it. After hearing a few of his friend's incisive comments, he even decides to stop treating Zhou Huanyu like such a hostile enemy.

And somehow, life starts getting lucky.

The night before, he casually mentioned how good the steamed buns on South Street were. The next day, steaming-hot buns are sitting on his desk.

During PE, two bottles of water appear on his seat, both at just the right temperature.

Even a rip in his school uniform gets mended as good as new.

The list goes on.

Lu Yu thinks Lady Luck has taken a shine to him.

Until he notices that the school forum, which he hasn't checked in eight hundred years, now has ship posts about him and Zhou Huanyu. More than one, too?

And the gaming pro he admires online is actually Zhou Huanyu, the silent, aloof, distant guy!

Lu Yu: ?
