The Top-Tier Star Keeps Riding My Coattails

A quick recommendation for my free, completed campus novel, "The Poor Student and the Pretend Straight-A Student." Find it in my author profile! This novel: A chaste, quiet, clean-cut, cool and handsome top X a gentlemanly, bewitching bottom who's proper on the outside but a real pervert underneath He Yi never doubted his own charm. So when someone hinted that Li Yixiao had ulterior motives, he laughed. "What could I possibly have that's better than me?" Ruan Yansong: ...That old lecher's flirting again. Ignore him. But no one expected his words to come true. He Yi looks at the man he loves. Clean-cut and handsome, smiling shyly with pursed lips, still just as irresistible. Only now, his heart doesn't flutter. It hurts a little. He reaches out and pats the man's face, his narrow eyes half-lidded. "Hope you get what you want and become a top-tier star soon." * Later, the man really does become a top-tier star. Once mentor and contestant, they reunite on a variety show, and promotional posts flood the internet. He Yi leans lazily against the wall and tips the other's chin up, his manner frivolous. "Still trying to ride my coattails?" Silence falls. The chaste, quiet, hugely popular top-tier star suddenly grabs the hand he's trying to pull away and leans in, his voice hoarse to the extreme. "I don't want to ride your coattails." "From beginning to end... I only wanted to ride you." [Another recommendation for a completed novel] "The Poor Student and the Pretend Straight-A Student" Xie Jingzhe had been a bully since childhood, but someone beat him badly enough to land him in the hospital, and he never even got a look at their face. With his arm in a cast, Xie Jingzhe swore, "If I don't get revenge, I'll drink water standing on my head!" But before he could get revenge, Xie Jingzhe decided to turn over a new leaf. The newly transferred top student was fair-skinned, like a clean, fragile snow lotus on an icy mountain, and he awkwardly tried to win Xie Jingzhe over. Pitiful and adorable. Xie Jingzhe was willing to let him boss him around, and wanted to protect him, too. Until one day, Xie Jingzhe caught sight of the little white rabbit he'd been doting on, holding a cigarette and a wig, and kicking someone to the ground. His fierce glare and practiced movements... It made Xie Jingzhe's heart ache. It ached so badly that even his long-healed hand hurt. Damn, why does it feel just like when I got beaten up back then? Li Xi, the "cancer" of No. 1 Middle School. He transferred schools with a new look and a new hairstyle, determined to study hard and turn his life around. He didn't expect to overdo the act, get stuck with the role of an aloof academic ace, and be treated like a little white rabbit who needed to be protected at all costs. After finally enjoying a good fight, he turned around and saw the guy who'd promised to protect him standing at the alley entrance. Li Xi: ...I was the one who got beaten up. Do you believe me? Behind him, the people who'd been beaten were bruised and swollen, their faces a riot of color. Handsome, that's all that matters, fake straight guy # composed and aloof, actually a terrible student Theme: Make yourself good enough, because the person you love is that wonderful.
