My Archrival Clings to Me Every Day

[Rong Yu’s perspective] Rong Yu accidentally found a cute little tentacle monster. The little tentacle was soft, sweet, and clingy, and Rong Yu was utterly enchanted. Every day, all he wanted was to pet his adorable little thing bald. There was just one problem: this cutie was the spiritual avatar of his sworn enemy, Ji Li. To get his hands on Ji Li’s tentacles, Rong Yu did everything Ji Li told him to. If Ji Li pointed east, he wouldn’t go west; if Ji Li wanted the stars, he wouldn’t offer the moon. At last, he succeeded in... getting caught by Ji Li. [Ji Li’s perspective] The tsundere Ji Li could come up with a hundred examples proving Rong Yu had a crush on him. Rong Yu had confessed to him in public, sneaked glances at him in class, flirted with him in the arena, and even stolen his spiritual avatar to keep as a pet. Considering the earnest, if awkward, way Rong Yu had been acting, Ji Li had finally deigned to accept his confession. He’d even planned how many people to invite to the wedding, which planet to visit after they got married, and how many kisses and cuddles they should have every day. Then came a bolt from the blue. Rong Yu was the biggest scumbag of all. He didn’t like Ji Li at all; he only wanted his tentacles. Even the kisses and cuddles he’d been hoping for went to the soft, adorable tentacles instead. The aloof, refined young master let Rong Yu touch his tentacles and take advantage of him, but got nothing in return. He even had to watch Rong Yu shamelessly flirt right in front of him. At last, he was driven into becoming a fierce, prickly, possessive top. Rong Yu: “Can I touch your tentacles?” Ji Li: “Sure. Give me a kiss first.” [Bonus scene] One day, Ji Li asked Rong Yu what he wanted. Rong Yu: “Tentacles! Tentacles! Lots and lots of cute tentacles!” Ji Li turned away, his ears red. “You’re too greedy.” Years into their marriage... Rong Yu: “Don’t stop me. I’m going home to assassinate myself.” [A tsundere top’s evolution from passive to proactive, then from proactive to wildly hands-on.] [Aloof, possessive, jealous tsundere top (Ji Li) x smiling, deceptively dangerous, ridiculously strong bottom (Rong Yu)] A few things to know: 1. Not a Sentinel/Guide story. The spiritual avatars are original to this story. 2. A sweet interstellar campus romance. 3. Not a straightforward confession: this tsundere’s feelings take the scenic route with eighteen hairpin turns. 4. The top is an unstoppable overthinker with a very busy inner monologue, and they often seem to be having completely different conversations. 5. Don’t mix up the top and the bottom! ++++New story below+++++ In the twenty years he’d been alive, the person young Marquis Wei Zan understood least was his sworn enemy, Shen Yuan. When Wei Zan was at the height of his glory, Shen Yuan envied him, resented him, and hated him. But when Wei Zan fell to rock bottom and lost everything, Shen Yuan risked everything to save him. Wei Zan mocked Shen Yuan for going to such lengths. “Shen Yuan is jealous by nature. Some people are only allowed to be bullied by me.” That was what Shen Yuan said, as he laid even half his life on the line to help Wei Zan take revenge. Then, in a single moment, Wei Zan was reborn and returned to his youth. He was once again the spirited young marquis, and Shen Yuan was still the lonely, sickly boy consumed by jealousy. With memories of his past life and a completely different attitude, Wei Zan couldn’t help chasing after Shen Yuan and teasing him, calling him “Brother Shen.” “Is the young marquis playing with me?” Young Shen Yuan gripped the book in his hands. His gaze flickered as he looked at Wei Zan, then he finally gritted his teeth and said, “You know I’m narrow-minded and jealous.” “I know.” Wei Zan pecked him by the ear, then smiled lazily. “But you can’t be jealous of anyone else.” “You’re only allowed to be jealous of me.” [Carefree, proud young marquis top (Wei Zan) x narrow-minded, jealous, sickly beauty bottom (Shen Yuan)] Theme: A boy’s heroic dreams
