I Fell for You Before I Knew It

On the school playground, a group of students in uniforms gathers to gossip. [Did the principal stuff a new student into Class Nine?] [Apparently it's a guy.] Everyone shares what they've heard. [I heard his grades are terrible, and he always argues with the teachers.] [I heard he's really handsome!] [I heard his family is rich!] [I heard... he's dating the Class Nine monitor?] The air suddenly goes still. A row of heads turns in unison, and after a long moment, someone asks, "Isn't the Class Nine monitor a boy?" "Yeah, he's a boy." "..." On Zhao Yizhou's first day, Qin Jiahe knew he was trouble. This guy didn't care about the teachers, his classmates, or even his grades. And yet, for some reason, his favorite hobby was teasing Qin Jiahe. During the last study period on Friday, someone slowly wakes from a nap and pokes the person beside him. "Monitor, I'm hungry." Qin Jiahe: "Shut up and go back to sleep!" The guy's eyes curve into a smile, his voice lazy. "I can shut up, but you have to kiss me first." VIP announcement: This novel will become a paid novel on December 16. Three chapters will be released that day. The next novel I'll be starting is The Right Way to Grow a Wife. If you're interested, feel free to add it to your collection from my author page. The people of Plant Star are naturally all born male, and women are extremely rare. So the government establishes marriage and childbirth agencies, where adults can collect seeds and take them home to plant. Plant a little seed in spring, and by autumn, you'll have a wife. Xiao Miao is an ordinary citizen of Plant Star. He works hard and lives responsibly, all so he can bring home a beautiful wife. But this year, the seed supply is too small, and Xiao Miao only gets one tiny foxtail grass seed. Foxtail grass it is, then. Xiao Miao doesn't mind at all. Xiao Miao takes his wife-to-be home and plants her. He waters her three times a day, makes sure she gets plenty of sun and fertilizer, and even reads her bedtime stories at night to build their bond. A few months later, Xiao Miao moves the enormous foxtail grass from its small pot into a flower bed in the yard. He gazes up at the foxtail grass, which is taller than he is, and asks in confusion, "Why can foxtail grass grow so tall...?" Top: "Shut up! I'm no foxtail grass!!!"
