Blurb

Wei Qiao had a refined, scholarly look. In No. 7 High School's uniform, he seemed almost chaste.

The look was made even more chaste by his gold-rimmed glasses. His father's new girlfriend called him cold-blooded.

She even called the faint beauty mark at the corner of his eye an ill omen.

But that very cold, ill-omened appearance caught the attention of school bully Sheng Anping.

After a fight one day, Wei Qiao backed down so the woman at home couldn't use it against him.

When Sheng Anping saw how Wei Qiao immediately became well-behaved and sheathed his claws as soon as a teacher appeared, his anger suddenly vanished.

Such a well-behaved student, yet stubborn and a crybaby who could fight. It really made him want to corrupt him.

A wicked smile curled Sheng Anping's lips.

The sight of Wei Qiao crying beneath the wall that morning, a tear tracing a line down his cheek, came back to Sheng Anping.

He wondered what it would look like to make such a good, well-behaved student cry after getting scolded by a teacher.

What if...

What if it wasn't a teacher who made him cry...

But...

What if Wei Qiao cried because of him?

What would that look like?

They were two green-fruit trees planted side by side, cut down before they could mature.

The trees were felled too soon, leaving only short, bare stumps. But their roots remained, and like spring grass, they would come back to life in the wind and grow wildly in the rain.

Unhinged delinquent top × cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside bottom who gets a little unhinged too

Blurb for The Cool Convenience Store Heartthrob Redeems a Strawberry Pendant

Xu Weiran had recently acquired three secrets.

The first was that his family had rented a storefront and opened a convenience store. Other families opened supermarkets and hotels, but looking at his family's little shop, barely a few dozen square meters, Xu Weiran had his first secret.

The second secret came one night while he was minding the store. He An, the school's famous cold-faced heartthrob, took out the coupons he'd saved up over the past few weeks by buying milk there and redeemed them for the biggest strawberry pendant in the store.

Xu Weiran: "So much for the cold-faced heartthrob. Oh, so the school's heartthrob is secretly a flirt!"

"Don't worry," Xu Weiran said, giving He An a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "I'll keep it secret for you."

And just like that, Xu Weiran had a second secret.

As for the third secret, even Xu Weiran couldn't believe it: he could see dead people's ghosts.

That ghost thought he couldn't see it and came into the store to steal again. When Xu Weiran rushed outside shouting for someone to catch the thief, everyone looked around, then stared at him as if he were crazy.

He thought the thief would get away again, but at the crucial moment, the flirtatious heartthrob He An appeared at the corner. He stuck out one long leg, and the thief went tumbling to the ground with a thud, grimacing in pain.

That day, Xu Weiran gained a fourth secret: He An could see ghosts too!

Later, Xu Weiran gained a fifth secret.

Xu Weiran bit down on his lower lip, then finally swore, "He An, you flirt. I like you."

He An smiled at him and slowly leaned closer. "How did you find out my secret?"

P.S. It should be a heartwarming story, something like an episodic series (probably. I haven't written it yet, so everything is tentative).

Marked by My Rival After a Second Differentiation

Surrounded by marks and a room full of pheromones, Liang Que kicked Shang Songjin, who was sleeping beside him, out of bed.

Liang Que: "You'd sleep with a beta like me?"

Shang Songjin: "You weren't saying that last night."

Remembering what happened the night before, Liang Que grabbed the bedside lamp and hurled it at Shang Songjin.

Shang Songjin: "That lamp cost 5,500."

Liang Que, about to throw something else: ...

Shang Songjin: "But the hotel belongs to my family. I can give you a discount, so it'll only be 250."

In the end, Shang Songjin gave Liang Que a hundred-percent discount, and Liang Que beat Shang Songjin half to death.

Liang Que and Shang Songjin had been famous rivals since elementary school.

Competing over height and grades was an everyday thing.

Now they'd taken their rivalry to the same bed, and Liang Que desperately tried to tell himself to stop competing.

But when he got his test results from the hospital, he saw that the box that should have said beta clearly had an O in it.

"Your case is rather unusual. I'm sure your middle school health teacher told you about this: it's called a second differentiation. Excessive exposure to pheromones can bring out your true classification."

"The test results show that you've already been marked, which is why you're experiencing these symptoms."

Once a mark is established after a second differentiation, the only way to break the bond is to remove the gland. There is no normal way to separate the two of you.

The irritable Liang Que: "I'll have it removed."

Shang Songjin pleaded, "Even if you're an omega after a second differentiation, you should know how much damage removing your gland would do to your body, right?"

"Why not stay with me? You said I was great last time, after all."

Liang Que: ...

After agreeing to stay with Shang Songjin, Liang Que, feverish and dazed, murmured, "So you weren't lying to me. Your heat that time really was real."

Shang Songjin guiltily remembered how, as a teenager, he'd secretly gone running like crazy to raise his body temperature and pretend to be in heat, all to get Liang Que to hug him.

Who could have guessed there really was such a thing as a weekly fever?

A seemingly short-tempered bottom who's actually soft-hearted and only gets furious at the top × a top who's cold to everyone else but shamelessly flirts with the bottom

1. Lots of author-created settings.

2. There was no coercion that night. They both wanted it.

3. I wrote this because it seemed fun. More to come~
