Fighting for a Way Out (Reborn)

Please add my column to your favorites!

Here's the blurb: Back when Jiang Han was in school, he was tough and wild. Everyone called him Brother Jiang.

Though he had a fiery temper, he was also a top student. He had round, almond-shaped eyes and was exceptionally handsome.

But he liked his deskmate, Ye Xi, and never said so.

Jiang Han skipped class and got into fights for him, dropped out of college for him, suffered through all kinds of hardship for him, and in the end even gave his life for him.

Reborn, Jiang Han thought: Forget it. I'll stay away from Ye Xi. Everybody, keep your hands off me. I'll get into a top university and return to the peak of my life.

Back when Ye Xi was in school, he was a hopeless, mischievous student from a wealthy family.

He was gorgeous, had a fortune worth millions, and had a beautiful fiancee named Ge Shengmei.

But he liked his deskmate, Jiang Han, and never said so.

Ye Xi turned against his family for him, pretended to be in love with someone else for him, and even died for love for him.

Reborn, Ye Xi thought: No way. Jiang Han is mine. Nobody else can have him.

The two return to their first year of high school and become deskmates again, neither knowing what the other has been through.

Jiang Han, all gruffness, is determined to change deskmates. Ye Xi, all bossiness, refuses to let him.

Jiang Han: “We're not right for each other.” Ye Xi grabs his hand and wraps an arm around his waist. “Then who do you think is right for you?”

Jiang Han: “Why are you grabbing me again? Keep your hands off me, aaah!”

Ye Xi's three humble pleas: “Jiang Han, I was wrong. Jiang Han, don't leave. Jiang Han, you can't change deskmates.”

Brother Jiang's three face-slapping lines: “I've always liked you. I've only ever liked you. And who the hell could be a better match for me than you?”

Ge Shengmei comes to school to provoke them.

Ye Xi wraps an arm around Jiang Han's waist. “Allow me to introduce my boyfriend.”
