I Went Viral After Getting Back Together with My Ex

[The novel is complete! Please leave a five-star review~]

My new novel next door, Try Marking Me Again, is now open for reading~

Eight years after their breakup, young star Xu Chen runs into the ex he dumped at a production launch party. Tall, long-legged, and full of confidence, his ex is an elite businessman and the production's biggest investor.

Xu Chen had imagined a thrilling reunion, full of undercurrents and tension. Instead, the other man is polite, distant, and unfamiliar, as if he'd completely forgotten him.

Xu Chen responds with breezy indifference: "A good horse doesn't eat the grass it left behind."

Some time later.

Xu Chen grips a beer bottle, seething: "That little bastard!"

A little while after that.

"Forget it, forget it..." Xu Chen looks at Ji Fei, who's right in front of him, and thinks helplessly, "I'm not a horse to begin with."

There's something Xu Chen has never been able to figure out.

Ji Fei's social media feed never gets updated. He doesn't follow gossip or trends, and seems like an old cadre living in seclusion. So how does he manage a hugely successful, top-tier entertainment company so flawlessly?

Then one day, Xu Chen accidentally discovers that the guy actually has a Weibo account.

ID: Can I Reach the Stars Today?

He's checked in with a message every night at 11:59 for more than 3,000 days.

His latest post, from over a month ago, is visible only to himself.

"Not only did I reach them, I got to eat them too."

It comes with a photo of Xu Chen asleep in someone's arms, with half of a handsome, well-defined arm in the shot.

Xu Chen: "...?"

Damn, I didn't know you were this kind of bastard.

A steady, playful star on the receiving end x a refined, wicked, scheming younger CEO on the pursuing end

Coming soon: Try Marking Me Again

Ji Qiao of Class Ten, Senior Year, is Jiangcheng No. 1 High School's notorious tough guy. Cold-faced and wild, his name is always near the top of the disciplinary notices. Apart from being good-looking, he's good for nothing.

One day, the school bully gets a new deskmate: a tall, upright, top-tier Alpha with a wound on his forehead, who looks even more like a poor student than Ji Qiao.

After going through skipping class, fighting, and writing self-criticisms together, this "troublemaker" deskmate unexpectedly puts on glasses and hits the books. Ji Qiao scoffs at this show-off behavior: "Hmph."

Then comes the first monthly exam.

The six science subjects add up to 360 for Ji Qiao and 720 for his deskmate.

Ji Qiao can't bear to lose face, so he stubbornly says, "Oh. What does that have to do with me?"

Then the next day,

right in front of his deskmate, he presents as an Omega. Not only does he form a first-time mark with the other boy, he also becomes his deskmate's one-on-one tutoring project.

Ji Qiao: ?

Damn. Did my words come true or something?

-

Ji Qiao's first heat hits hard and without warning. To deal with the emergency, he grabs his deskmate at random: "Give me a temporary mark."

But who could've guessed that one time would lead to a second, a third, and then countless more...

After evening study one day, Ji Qiao is about to be dragged out for another walk around the track. He touches the gland that's just been bitten open and kicks his deskmate beside him in irritation. "Get lost. Could you try showing a little restraint?"

The rebellious young master / delinquent heartthrob and top student (pursuer) x the ruthless, arrogant underachiever who doesn't waste words (receiver)
