Uh-Oh, I'm Growing a Brain

[Cute, mischievous bottom x scheming, sharp-tongued top] Lu Zhou is known as the "tutor killer." Not a single tutor has lasted more than a month with him. His method is simple: he launches a [relentless] courtship campaign against every tutor he gets, until they all run away. He's on a nine-win streak so far. The record speaks for itself. The tenth is a college student named Xie Shiyu. His name sounds so refined that he seems easy to handle. Lu Zhou tries the same old trick and sends him a heartfelt love letter. Usually, the story would end there, but, against all expectations... Xie Shiyu doesn't even raise an eyebrow. He readily agrees: "Okay. I'm your boyfriend from now on." Lu Zhou: "???" I just don't want to study. I don't want to get a boyfriend, aaah! Lu Zhou: "What is wrong with you?" Xie Shiyu: "Are you going to study?" Lu Zhou: "No!" Xie Shiyu: "How about this: I'll kiss you every time you get a question wrong." Lu Zhou: "No freaking way!" Xie Shiyu chuckles and pins him behind the door, blowing a breath beside his ear. "Didn't you know I'm gay?" "???" To avoid getting *ed, Lu Zhou is forced to start studying. He holds a textbook in one hand and a test-prep guide in the other, with a classical Chinese text analysis book on his lap. He recites chemistry formulas while thinking: I hate him so much!!!!! - Lu Zhou has been at the bottom of his class since childhood, and people are always calling him stupid. Under Xie Shiyu's tireless guidance, the good news is that Lu Zhou finally grows a brain. Xie Shiyu: "You finally got 550 points, enough to embarrass yourself. We can 'break up' now, boyfriend." Lu Zhou: "No. I'll never break up with you." Xie Shiyu: "?" Have you turned gay too? The bad news is that what grew was a lovesick brain. Important notes: 1. They are not teacher and student. The top is a college student, not a teacher. 2. This is not serious tutoring. 3. The bottom only pretends to confess to his previous tutors to drive them away. 2025.8.18 Theme: Studying hard is the right path in life.
