The School Hunk Is Reborn to Save Me

Originally titled "Shouting Myself Hoarse Won't Help" Light mystery + mutual pining + doting on each other Two-part intro: Cen Qingmei: There are always vile people plotting to kill me! Shu Yang: Your armed bodyguard has arrived. Lighthearted version: After Cen Qingmei was injured and forbidden from having late-night snacks and unhealthy food, he went from a chubby kid to a handsome young man. Full of confidence, he was ready to compete for the title of school heartthrob, but who should show up but transfer student Shu Yang? Shu Yang looked awful because of his allergies, was aloof, and didn't get along with his classmates. Yet he rescued Cen Qingmei several times, and classmate Cen's sense of responsibility went through the roof. He took the unimpressive-looking Shu Yang under his wing. Who knew Shu Yang was only allergic to seafood? Once the pimples on his face cleared up, he was so handsome he could shatter glasses with a prescription of a thousand diopters. Add his aloof persona and his reputation as an academic genius, and he easily stole Cen Qingmei's crown as school heartthrob. Cen Qingmei was so unwilling to accept it. Where had the Shu Yang who used to be so hideously ugly, inspire pity and sympathy, and obey him so well gone? Serious version: Shu Yang has been reborn countless times, returning to the past again and again, all because he wants to protect the boy named Cen Qingmei. He changes countless details, hoping to overturn the ending that always stays the same. Before the N+1st college entrance exam: Cen Qingmei: No matter whose kept man you become in the future, don't forget you're my proper deskmate. Shu Yang: I want to be your proper man. If you insist I be your secret lover... that works too. (Cen Qingmei, in tears: If you became my secret lover, grass would be growing on my grave by now.) Shu Yang: There are some people you can never be friends with. Cen Qingmei: If you think I'm too talkative and annoying, just say so. Shu Yang: I've watched you ten thousand times, and I still want to possess you. Cen Qingmei: If you fall for an extrovert, you have to love their exuberance and chatter. If you fall for an introvert, you have to accept their silence and few words. If you fall for a rational person, you have to accept how they weigh the costs and benefits. Shu Yang: But some flaws may be more than you can tolerate or accept. Cen Qingmei: Like what? Shu Yang: Like being controlling. Cen Qingmei: There's someone who tries so hard to keep everything about me in the safest, gentlest, and most comfortable state. He makes all my wishes come true and watches my every joy and sorrow with such care, wanting me to live this life without a worry. In his mind, that's being controlling. But to me, it isn't. Shu Yang: Then what is it? Cen Qingmei: He tries to hide his feelings for me, and I find myself yearning for him. What do you think that is? Theme: Trust and understanding can reverse a predetermined ending
