[Please check out my other serialized novel, The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Man I Saved Turned Dark, and add it to your favorites!] An unexpected guest arrived on the day of Song Ye's engagement: a mysterious big shot feared by everyone. Rumor had it that the big shot was sinister, ruthless, and unpredictable. Just as everyone was wondering if he was going to say, "The Song family is finished," he snatched the officiant's place and stood between the two stars of the banquet. He took Song Ye's wineglass and said, coldly and arrogantly, "Would you mind switching to someone else?" Song Ye, pushed aside, watched his fiancée shyly take the man's arm. Furious, he grabbed a wine bottle and hurled it at him. No one knew whether the shameless big shot was hit, but Song Ye was killed when the chandelier above him fell on his head. Song Ye wasn't meant to die. He was reborn after death, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the big shot back in his school days... The poverty-stricken, self-conscious class valedictorian? Great, now was his chance for revenge! A conspicuous bruise marred Pei Hanmo's cool, beautiful face. He lowered his eyes, his lashes trembling. "It's fine. I fell by accident." Where was the swagger you had when you stole my fiancée?! This is the big shot who'll one day dominate the world? Song Ye couldn't stand it, so he tracked down the culprit and beat him up. Gradually, everyone at school learned that the pitiful class valedictorian was under the protection of rich second-generation school bully Song Ye. Anyone who touched him would be crippled. "To repay you, I'll tutor you." Song Ye, a poor student who never gave a thought to studying, naturally wanted nothing to do with it. "Who wants that?" Pei Hanmo said nothing. His lips pressed together, his eyes reddening at the corners, like a proud plum blossom in winter, its branch snapped. He... actually looks pretty good. Song Ye glanced at him again and again, then pretended to be impatient and turned his head away. "All... right, I guess." He missed Pei Hanmo's deep, obsessive gaze. * Ferocious but sweet poor student bottom x sinister, obsessive, scheming top student top * Secret-crush romance, happy ending Please check out my upcoming novel, My Straight-Laced Roommate Always Wants to Cuddle with Me, and add it to your favorites! Yan Luoxi was thinking of changing dorm rooms lately. But his roommate didn't seem too happy about it. "I wake you up every morning, coax you to sleep every night, bring you hot water, buy your breakfast, do your laundry... Is there something else I haven't done well enough?" The unruly young master had never been so troubled before, and was trying everything he could to make Yan Luoxi stay. "If you stay, I'll shower with you and scrub your back. I'll sleep with you in winter, too. Whatever you want, I'll do it for you." Yan Luoxi: "This... doesn't seem appropriate." "What's inappropriate about it? We're friends, and I like doing these things for you." Friends? You're already acting like the perfect boyfriend. He Feichuan was A University's campus heartthrob, handsome, smart, and from a good family. Aside from his bad temper, he had no real flaws. He'd make an excellent boyfriend. The problem was, He Feichuan was a total straight guy! Yan Luoxi was afraid that if he didn't move out soon, he wouldn't be able to hold back his fluttering heart. - Everyone who knew He Feichuan knew that few people could put up with his young master's temper. Yet only in front of Yan Luoxi would he speak gently and coax him, wearing a constant smile. His usual arrogance and tyranny were nowhere to be seen. His friend was shocked. "Why are you treating him like your boyfriend?" He Feichuan's expression turned cold. "Don't insult him." Some time later, his friend was suddenly summoned out for drinks. The once-confident young master looked unusually disheveled, hugging a pillar and wailing, "Xixi won't talk to me anymore... How can he just stop talking to me..." His friend: "Go and coax him. Aren't you good at that?" He Feichuan's eyes were hollow. "He said I'm not his boyfriend, so he won't let me coax him anymore." "Fair enough. Even brothers don't cling to each other all day like that. Maybe if you find a boyfriend, you'll forget about him." He Feichuan's eyes lit up. "Right! I'll go be Xixi's boyfriend!" "..."
