[Coming soon: I Only Smell Your Pheromones, an ABO school story. Blurb below.]

Blurb:

Xia Nanqiao had no idea why he died, but he was reborn in his senior year of high school. Surrounded by a thick atmosphere of studying, he stared blankly for three seconds, then accepted without any particular reason that he had lost his memories and been reborn. He picked up his exam workbook and got straight to work.

During a class break after he was reborn, Xia Nanqiao lost a game and drew the "confess with a note" penalty. The others were eager to watch the fun and egged him on to confess to Lan Yan, a senior in his final year.

"Uh, you mean Lan Yan?"

"Yeah, that insanely cool, rich, genius student, Lan Yan!"

Xia Nanqiao: "..."

.

After a series of twists and turns, Xia Nanqiao managed to deliver the confession note to Lan Yan's dorm during dinner that evening. He let out a long breath, deciding on his own that the game penalty was over.

But the real adventure was only just beginning.

The next day, a "confession note" began circulating like wildfire on the school forum. The discussion grew so intense that the server crashed for a while. At the same time, a rumor sprang up out of nowhere and spread throughout the entire school. Before long, the "Yan-Xia" couple was practically confirmed.

Meanwhile, Xia Nanqiao had long since forgotten the game and gone back to studying. He knew nothing about it until one day after school, when a group of people calling themselves the "Lan Yan Fan Club" and others cornered him in an alley.

Just as he stood there utterly bewildered, being asked the third question, "When was your first kiss?", someone suddenly came over, grabbed his wrist, and forcefully pulled him out of the crowd.

The next second, something soft brushed his lips, and the area around them fell silent.

Three seconds later, Xia Nanqiao felt someone turn his head and press it against a solid shoulder. At the same time, he saw a middle finger, a universal symbol of friendship, raised in front of him. An impatient voice sounded above his head:

"Just now. That was your first kiss. Get it? Now get lost."

Xia Nanqiao, completely out of the loop: "..."

The next day, the "Yan-Xia Couple" forum section officially launched.

A little bonus scene:

Half a month later, an anonymous user posted a video on the couple's forum, setting off another huge wave of excitement.

In the video, a certain rich genius student, usually unbearably arrogant, bent down and rubbed his head against the neck of the person beside him. His pair of watery amber eyes peeked out, and he pouted as he said:

"I don't care. You're the one who confessed to me first, so you have to take responsibility for me, for the rest of my life. Got it? If you do, then kiss me."

Xia Nanqiao: "..."

A forced romance is really sweet... right?

P.S.:

1. [A plain, mild-mannered student who wants a peaceful reborn life x an arrogant, endlessly troublesome, all-around genius rich kid]

2. A genuinely sweet and doting school rom-com.

3. A small warning: At heart, this is a sweet romance about two boys in the bloom of youth. Warmth will gradually seep through the silly antics. Readers who find it too mild later on are free to stay or go~

4. "Rebirth" is the hidden main plot, broken into tiny pieces and woven through the daily scenes. There's a slight mystery element, but it won't affect the overall story early on. Later, some parts will come together to reveal the truth.

5. Oh, right, it has a happy ending.

6. A monogamous, pure-love story about first love.

[The next story is an ABO school romance!]

Blurb:

Luo Xingyang never expected to get into City No. 1 High School. He had always been an utterly ordinary, terrible student.

After the class reshuffle in his second year, Luo Xingyang also never expected to be assigned to a study group with Zhou Jing, the top student in their grade. He had always kept his distance from handsome, cold-faced academic stars.

He had assumed the other boy would feel the same way, until the handsome academic star leaned closer and closer while tutoring him, gradually started staring at his neck, and eventually demanded they change seats, even sitting right beside him during class.

Luo Xingyang didn't understand, until one day after class, when he suddenly smelled a waft of mint nearby. The back of his neck grew hot, and following his instincts, he leaned toward the scent until he was sniffing at someone's neck.

He turned his face and found himself looking straight at Zhou Jing's scowling face and handsome looks, magnified tenfold.

Zhou Jing: ?

Luo Xingyang: Um, hello...

You smell good.

In the air, the scents of sweet orange and mint intertwined.

.

One evening after night study, Luo Xingyang led Zhou Jing around to the school wall.

The air was filled with the rich scent of sweet orange.

"I don't know why, but the back of my neck is itchy. Could you bite me like you did last time?"

"No." Zhou Jing refused without hesitation.

"Why not?!"

Zhou Jing swallowed awkwardly. "Science has proven that practice is the only criterion for testing truth..."

Luo Xingyang: "? Speak like a normal person."

"I know I'll get addicted."

P.S.:

1. A nontraditional ABO story. Two people suddenly differentiate in an otherwise ordinary world, then have to figure out glands, marking, and other physiological matters as they go.

2. [A sunny, single-celled organism of a bottom x a scowling, straight-laced genius student of a top] = a no-brainer x a sourpuss.
