I

Zhong Ze went to practice driving over summer break and, through a bit of bad luck, ended up with Lu Yangqi, the grumpiest driving instructor around.

Zhong Ze thought that from then on, he would spend his days meekly taking insults without fighting back or talking back, like a groveling dog. But his instructor had some very unexpected moves:

Watching the stars together on video calls in the middle of the night

Taking him for a ride on a big motorcycle

A reserved front passenger seat, plus pickup and drop-off service

Wait a minute. Is his short-tempered instructor... kind of sweet?

II

Lu Yangqi spent his vacation at home working part-time as a driving instructor. By day, he diligently taught students, and at night, he was a good senior brother, helping his junior through his troubles.

He looked at a message on his phone from Zhong Ze, a junior about to start his first year of graduate school:

"Learning to drive is insane. No one could love an instructor."

Lu Yangqi raised an eyebrow. The corners of his thin lips curved into a faint smile, and a soft chuckle escaped his throat.

"Poor you," he replied.

When the new academic year began, Zhong Ze looked forward to his fresh start. At the welcome banquet, Lu Yangqi appeared in a well-tailored suit, polite and refined. "Hello, junior."

Zhong Ze: "...Cough, cough. Uh, h-hello, senior brother."

From then on, the two lived under the same roof and put on a fine show of brotherly harmony. But as they lived together, their fellow-student bond began to take on a different flavor...

At first, Lu Yangqi sent his junior a cat to win his favor.

Later came the coy refusals, the pursuit, and the running away.

The senior sister watching the fun couldn't help sighing: "Young people's world is so thrilling!"

Coming Soon

I

Liang Yueren's photography won an international award, launching him into the limelight as a celebrated rising photographer... though, of course, it was all because of his exceptional looks.

During an interview, a reporter asked, "Mr. Liang, I want to ask on behalf of all your devoted fans: are you planning to date anytime soon?"

For a moment, Liang Yueren looked stunned, his gaze unfocused.

His assistant waved frantically in the distance. When he got no response, the assistant answered for him: "Our boss is too busy to date."

"But you've had a first love, surely?" the reporter pressed, sensing a scoop.

Liang Yueren came back to himself, his expression returning to normal.

The next day, the story ran with a bold headline: "Genius Photographer Liang Yueren Opens Up About His Love Life for the First Time!"

It instantly set off a new wave of trending topics online.

They say thirty is the age when you establish yourself, but that year, Qu Wu's career hit a low point, and his father fell ill and passed away...

The night he lost his closest family, Qu Wu stood smoking in the dim shadows of a street corner, arms folded. He raised his eyes and looked through the glass of a 24-hour convenience store.

On the screen, Liang Yueren smiled, his lips parting:

"First love?"

"I forgot."

The words were cold, like a knife driven into Qu Wu's heart, leaving an aching emptiness. The cigarette burned all the way down to his fingertips before the pain made him crush it hard against the concrete wall.

III

Liang Yueren went on a photography trip and posted new pictures at his fans' request.

Though Liang Yueren had never appeared in his own photos before, he made an exception and posted a set of nine personal shots, all from his partner's point of view.

His observant fans immediately sensed something was going on.

Soon after, photos of him holding hands with someone at the airport surfaced online, seemingly confirming a relationship.

In the pictures, Liang Yueren, usually so cool and aloof, held the hand of a tall, refined man who seemed to have stepped out of a painting, a gentle smile spreading across his face.

Some declared that a relationship this public wouldn't last long.

That night, in the dim, wavering light, Liang Yueren lay nestled in the blankets and spoke as if it were nothing: "Lots of people online are waiting for us to break up."

Qu Wu's eyes reddened, and he kissed him fiercely.

"Only if I'm dead," he said.
