After Being Reborn, I Don't Want My Old Love Anymore

In Xu Jiaze's dreams before he was reborn, Shen Shuo's words kept repeating: "Stop wasting your effort. I'll never fall for you."

Eight years as a married couple, and in the end, it had all been one-sided.

Reborn back in high school, he saw Shen Shuo for the first time. The heart that had once skipped a beat turned cold. He gave Shen Shuo a nod, as if they were strangers, then turned and walked away.

"I got it wrong! I thought the way he looked at Brother Shuo just now meant he was into him!"

"There aren't many gay people around. Maybe you misread it."

"Still, he's really good-looking."

Amid the fleeting shadows, Shen Shuo gazed thoughtfully at the slender figure walking away.

Later, they ended up sitting one behind the other in class, just as they had in their previous life.

At first, Shen Shuo thought Xu Jiaze had feelings for him. Then he realized Xu Jiaze didn't seem to care about him at all.

When other people gave Xu Jiaze gifts, he would say thank you warmly.

So Shen Shuo gave him one too.

Everyone watched with knowing expressions.

Wasn't that the prize Brother Shuo had earned by working on those exam papers for half the night, several nights in a row?

But Xu Jiaze merely glanced at it coldly. "No thanks."

When others asked Xu Jiaze for help, he would agree with a helpless smile and treat them gently.

Shen Shuo asked him for help too, but Xu Jiaze would send him to someone else, putting up a clear "keep away" front.

Shen Shuo had never been so furious. He grabbed Xu Jiaze, his voice sharp.

"You smile at everyone else like that. What's wrong with me? Can you stop pushing me away?"

"What did I do to make you hate me? I'll change, okay?"

Seeing Xu Jiaze's face turn pale, he brushed his cheek with a finger, his voice low and pleading, as if coaxing a spoiled young master. "Could you at least be nice to me too, hmm?"

The night Shen Shuo pinned Xu Jiaze down and kissed him, he had a dream.

He dreamed they'd been married for years, and that Shen Jiaze obediently let him have his way.

Shit.

Why does he have to bite me every time we kiss now?

What kind of world-class idiot was I in my previous life? Saying I didn't like him? I was fucking crazy about him.
