The Transfer Student Seems a Little Strange

Chi Yu and Lu Zhi grew up in the same neighborhood. Their parents were close friends and neighbors. When they were little, Chi Yu loved following Lu Zhi around, like his little shadow. Over time, Lu Zhi grew used to his little shadow and took on the responsibilities of an older brother, always rushing ahead to protect him and never letting anyone bully him. From kindergarten through elementary, middle, and high school, Chi Yu and Lu Zhi were always in the same school and the same class. Chi Yu even quietly gave up the humanities, which he was good at, and chose the sciences so he could stay with Lu Zhi. Those feelings gradually changed into something else. Even so, Chi Yu naively thought he and Lu Zhi could at least stay side by side until they graduated from college. Chi Yu knew Lu Zhi didn't like him, so he was careful in everything, afraid someone would find out. But Lu Zhi still noticed. Lu Zhi slowly distanced himself. He stopped sitting beside Chi Yu, stopped helping him with exercises, and no longer waited after school to walk home with him. Later, Lu Zhi got a girlfriend, and Chi Yu's heart finally died. Once again, Chi Yu's world held no one but himself. Until one day, a transfer student arrived in their class. Not only did he secure first place in the grade on his very first monthly exam, but his looks and dazzling presence also made everyone envious. But there was something a little strange about this transfer student. He insisted on sitting beside Chi Yu as soon as he arrived, walking to and from school with him, having Chi Yu take him to the cafeteria, and spending time at school only with him. After learning which subjects Chi Yu struggled with, he even stayed after school to tutor him... Little by little, Chi Yu became more cheerful. He smiled more, talked more, made more friends, and his grades soared with the transfer student's help. Chi Yu used to be the little shadow trailing behind Lu Zhi. Later, that strange transfer student became the big shadow trailing behind Chi Yu. Scheming, green-tea gong x gentle, level-headed shou * Content notes: 1. The new arrival beats the childhood friend.
