When Jiang Ci was seven, he had his leg broken over a biscuit.
Xie Ze found a little cripple, a poor, pitiful little cripple.
The little cripple was soft and clingy. One "big brother" from him left Xie Ze completely smitten. Xie Ze grabbed a sack and went to collect plastic bottles. After all, if you want a child bride, you have to start young...
At seventeen, Jiang Ci earned a recommendation to Qing University. He was an ordinary yet conspicuous young man, and people resented him. Two of his ribs were broken. It hurt terribly. Later, the person he loved most lay in his arms, covered in blood, and Jiang Ci could no longer feel any pain...
At twenty-seven, Jiang Ci became an excellent lawyer. He found the justice that had been delayed for both Xie Ze and himself.
The sweet rice balls at home had stuck together and weren't as good as the ones Xie Ze made. When the medicine took effect, Jiang Ci saw Xie Ze. Xie Ze said he'd make him sweet rice balls again in their next life, and Jiang Ci was happy.
When Jiang Ci woke again, he was seven years old once more. Little Jiang Ci quickly picked up his little bowl and threadbare pillow, then ran to the entrance of the alley. He didn't try to snatch any biscuits this time. He obediently waited for his big brother Xie Ze.
Jiang Ci of Lin City No. 9 High School was every teacher's favorite: good grades, good looks, and though he was a little cold, his many honors had firmly established his status as the school's top student. The students in Class Two had thought Jiang Ci was their only academic ace. Then they realized, oh, turns out Brother Ze is an academic ace too!
Student A: Jiang Ci smiled!
Student B: My guess is Brother Ze showed up!
Student C: ...That's a pretty good guess.
Bonus scene:
Jiang Ci: Bro, hurry up and do your homework.
Xie Ze: If I finish one problem, can I take a ten-minute break?
Jiang Ci: No.
Xie Ze: Is there a reward?
Jiang Ci: No.
Xie Ze: Ci, I think...
Jiang Ci: *smack*
Xie Ze: I can do two pages!
Xie Ze x Jiang Ci
Rational, commanding, gentle top x cool, beautiful academic ace bottom

Both leads are reborn.
The bottom is cold, but can't help being clingy around the top. The top is gentle with him, but packs a serious punch. He's the boss of No. 9 High!
