I Hate You, But...

Lin Yesi had never met anyone as contradictory and strange as Su Qiu. He was a boy, yet wore a girl's hairstyle. He was eccentric and stubborn, and always spoke harshly to Lin Yesi. "I've already had my rabies shots, so I'm immune to you. Move." "Could you go die first?" "Dead people shouldn't talk anymore." Lin Yesi concluded that the other guy must hate him to the core. But things kept getting stranger. Su Qiu always seemed to be sneaking glances at him. Then one day, Lin Yesi was shocked to discover that Su Qiu was secretly taking pictures of him! After catching him red-handed, Lin Yesi cornered Su Qiu. "Are you secretly in love with me?" Su Qiu looked at him as if he were sick in the head. Then he seemed to think of something, jolted, and grabbed Lin Yesi. "Yes, I'm secretly in love with you! I hate you, but please date me!" Lin Yesi: "...Do you want to hear how contradictory that sounds?" Su Qiu: "Is there a conflict between hating you and wanting to date you?" 1. Lin Yesi (gong) x Su Qiu (shou) 2. Includes old tropes like contract dating, marriage before love (not really), and 'I can't help loving it'; slow burn and slice-of-life rambling. Both leads have flaws. 3. Updates daily at noon. Theme: Study hard, improve every day, and strive to be a well-rounded student.
