The Scum Gong Is the Real Substitute

Next up: Who Plays Whom? ID: 4903114. A silly campus danmei novel Nan Youxing is the docile little canary Pei Shixiao keeps, always fussing over him and granting his every wish. He is so humble and devoted that everyone thinks Nan Youxing is hopelessly in love with Pei Shixiao. Pei Shixiao thinks so too. So when people ask him about Nan Youxing, he answers nonchalantly, because Nan Youxing is nothing more than a stand-in for the moonlight in his heart. Then one day, Nan Youxing walks away without looking back. Day One. Pei Shixiao doesn't care. "Just wait. He'll be back tomorrow. He can't live without me." Day Two. Pei Shixiao glances at his phone and snorts. So he's playing hard to get, is he? Day Three. Pei Shixiao sees the puppy-like guy beside Nan Youxing, along with an actor who looks like him. Did he find a replacement to get back at me? Day Four... Nan Youxing not only doesn't come back, he even goes out to catch someone himself. Then he sees the photos Nan Youxing has kept safe. In one, Nan Youxing wears a red-and-white racing suit, smiling so brightly he dazzles. A man stands beside him. That man isn't Pei Shixiao, but he looks exactly like him. Pei Shixiao: So I'm the stand-in? Pei Shixiao goes completely mad. How dare Nan Youxing play him like this? He wants to kill him. But even with his hand around Nan Youxing's throat, seeing him close his eyes makes Pei Shixiao bend down and kiss him, pathetically. In that moment, Pei Shixiao gives in to a despicable desire: Even if Nan Youxing doesn't love him, he will keep Nan Youxing locked tightly by his side, even if it means falling into eternal ruin. "You owe me." "Nan Youxing, look at me. I can be just like him." "All I want is for you to love me." - Bonus scene: After Nan Youxing loses his memory, he grabs the strings of his hoodie and leans toward Pei Shixiao's lips. "What do you want to eat? Or maybe you want to... eat me?" Pei Shixiao [eyes wide with shock]: Damn. Was Nan Youxing really this hot seven years ago?!

Visit my author page to add it to your collection. When people mention Xie Xingchen of Changqing Academy, every student gladly calls him "Study God Daddy." Student A: "Aside from bathroom breaks, Daddy Xie never puts down his textbooks or workbooks." Student B: "Eating? He keeps doing exercises in his electronic dictionary." Student C: "Walking? He listens to recorded lessons with his headphones." Student D: "I heard Daddy Xie can recite answers in his sleep. What a beast!" As for Gu Xihe, who is rumored to have been "exiled" to Changqing, everyone keeps their distance. He picks fights, teases cats and dogs, and causes trouble at every turn. His scores in all his subjects combined don't even reach a hundred. In short, he's a delinquent and a school bully. Even at Changqing Academy, famous for its strict, militarized discipline, he's a sight to behold. After a major exam, the homeroom teacher asks top student Xie to tutor bottom student Gu. Xie Xingchen initially refuses. But the teacher offers him a condition he can't turn down. And so the one-on-one tutoring plan begins. Math tutoring: Xie Xingchen (quietly checking the answer key): Therefore, X equals 3. Gu Xihe: ??? Therefore what? English tutoring: Xie Xingchen (glancing at the answer key again): A, B, and D are wrong, so the answer is C. Gu Xihe: ??? Are you messing with me on purpose, kid? Then, on a dark and stormy night, the two run into each other at an internet cafe. Wearing a baseball cap, a mask, and an oversized hoodie, Xie Xingchen is glued to the screen, playing a famous esports game with absolute passion. Gu Xihe: Top student? Hah. And Gu Xihe, rumored to skip class every day to game at the cafe, has had nothing but Minesweeper on his screen from start to finish. Xie Xingchen: Gaming expert? Hah. Later, Xie Xingchen discovers that the school bully is the real top student. So, really, there's no need for a one-on-one tutoring plan. Not long after, students at Changqing Academy see the school bully pinning top student Xie against the wall and making him call him "Daddy." Xie Xingchen: Actually, I don't think you need tutoring. Gu Xihe: Oh? Last night, nine o'clock. Internet cafe on XX Road. Xie Xingchen: Daddy! I'm in! I'm amazing! A friend's novel: I'm the Most Beautiful Rooster 1.
