The Repeat Student

[Series: Shadiao Scholar System, Million-Follower UP Master, and The Anxious Days are all complete] -- Two big shots repeating the year and living it up together #mutualcrush #passion #healingeachother -- The senior-year repeat class at Yingzhong High accidentally produced a world-ending desk-mate duo. One was Jian Zixing, a mechanical genius and top student who made teachers suffer. The other was Zhong Chen, a ridiculously handsome school bully with a knife hidden behind his smile. At the start of term, the school bully seemed to be broke and was always hungry. During evening study, he’d slump over his desk and pretend to be dead. The top student had no choice but to toss him something to eat before he actually starved. Later, the school bully got past his financial crisis, but didn’t say a word about it. He still slumped over his desk and pretended to be dead during study sessions. …So by the time the top student realized what was going on, he’d been feeding his desk mate for almost half a year. Jian Zixing: “…Eat my food, and you’ll pay me back.” With the college entrance exam approaching, the top student launched a final sprint for the provincial champion title and casually tried to carry the school bully along with him. But he couldn’t carry him. The school bully was the sort of weirdo who drew pictures on his essay sheets. Just as the top student was secretly hoping the bully might raise his mock exam score by twenty points, the bully appeared at the top of the grade rankings, tied with him. Jian Zixing: “You? What’s going on?” Zhong Chen yawned. “The questions were too easy.” Jian Zixing jabbed an elbow into his chest. “Say that again?” Zhong Chen’s fingers lightly brushed his earlobe. He sighed softly. “If only love were as easy as the college entrance exam.” [Characters]: Cold on the outside, warm on the inside, violent little cutie of a top-student bottom x secretly powerful, can’t stop flirting or he’ll die school-bully top [Important]: 1v1 sweet romance.

His refined good looks, gentle manner, and graceful charm land him in the middle of the elite matchmaking scene. Asked about his romantic history, he answers frankly: “I only dated one person. He’s been dead for years.” “We broke up amicably. No hard feelings, and there’s no chance of rekindling things.” His dearly departed first love becomes an instant legend and the perfect shield against unwanted suitors. After a minor rear-end collision, Shen Bir ran gets worked up and calls a phone number that has long since been disconnected.

Years after their parting, Gu Linchuan looks at him with great interest. “An amicable breakup?” “No hard feelings?” “I’ve been dead for years?” Shen Bir ran: “…Who are you?” Gu Linchuan thinks for a moment. “A male ghost.” * Gu Linchuan was once an orphan adopted by the Shen family. When his relatives came looking for him as an adult, the Shens gave him back and cut ties. Not long afterward, Shen Bir ran learned from the news that the plane Gu Linchuan was on had crashed.

Everyone courts his favor, and he wields immense power. His personality has changed completely, and he’s impossible to read. One day, after a matchmaking event ends, Shen Bir ran is spacing out when Gu Linchuan suddenly says, “A friend of mine had a puppy. He was always chasing after someone new, and when he got tired of the dog, he threw it away. When people asked about it, he even said the dog had died.” Shen Bir ran is baffled. “What kind of scumbag would do that?” Gu Linchuan: “You.” “…” Shen Bir ran looks at that tall, sharp-edged figure. “What did you just call yourself?” A p-puppy??
