[Purehearted sunshine seme x Easygoing, aloof uke]
Shao Qing had spent eighteen years scraping by in the old city. His life had the makings of a classic melodramatic coming-of-age story: no parents, no money, just good grades and a handsome, icy face.
At the opening ceremony of his second year of high school, he watched his birth mother leap from a rooftop.
A pair of warm hands pulled him away from the scene. Shao Qing adjusted his glasses and gazed blankly at the boy in front of him.
...An enthusiastic idiot.
Unbeknownst to him, Qi Zhuo was sizing him up too, and came to his own conclusion:
A cold, pitiful little guy.
Unwilling to have his secret exposed, Shao Qing had no desire to see him again.
But Qi Zhuo was exceptionally good at refusing to take no for an answer. He stuck to him at school and after school, until he had somehow become "the person closest to Shao Qing" in everyone's eyes.
A classmate lowered their voice and gossiped, "Are you in love with him?"
"No, we're just friends." Qi Zhuo's gaze darted away. "Really, we're not."
Shao Qing had seen Qi Zhuo sing at a gay bar, and had also seen the love letter covered up with correction tape.
That idiot liked him, but Shao Qing pretended he knew nothing.
Qi Zhuo kept trying to deny the obvious.
"I think of you as a friend."
Shao Qing: "Mm."
"Don't miss this place once you transfer to the advanced class. I won't miss you at all, either."
Shao Qing: "I know."
"That junior girl is being so forward. Why don't you give her a chance?"
Shao Qing: "..."

Currently updating: My Top-Tier Star Childhood Friend Has Been Scheming for This Marriage. Blurb:
[Gentle, slow-witted office worker uke x Patient, sweet-faced-but-scheming younger seme]
He Chén spent his life dependent on others, moving between two wealthy families before finally finding the life that suited him best:
working himself to the bone at an entertainment company.
He liked his quiet, ordinary life: a thermos of goji berry tea, nothing fancy...
But when he was twenty-six, his childhood friend returned home after leaving his top-tier boy band and proposed that they marry under a contract.
Song Jiu'an's fingertips were cold with nerves. He lowered his eyes and said, "Ge, marry me. It's okay if you say no. I'll find someone else."
"..." He Chén could hardly refuse someone so pitiful.
They were both straight anyway. Getting married wouldn't hurt.
So they secretly married out of the blue. His family stopped pestering him about marriage, and his orderly life gained a new twist.
He Chén never thought of Song Jiu'an as a top-tier star, just someone who was like both family and a friend.
Someone who was like family and a friend should...
Be able to hold hands.
Be able to hug.
Be able to flirt and say sweet things.
Be able to kiss... right?
He Chén began to notice that something was changing in his feelings. First came confusion, then doubt, then shock.
After an accident while drunk, he finally couldn't hold back: "Let's end the contract early. I don't want to be gay."
But Song Jiu'an, usually so well-behaved and gentle, became someone else. He leaned over, gently biting He Chén's earlobe, his voice heavy with menace.
"Too late."
Everyone at home and abroad knew Song Jiu'an was exceptionally capable. He had fought his way from auditions to become a top-tier star, maintaining a flawless cheerful image on screen. Behind the scenes, he was a shrewd, decisive smiling schemer.
Admirable from afar, impossible to approach, and best not provoked.
Only his manager knew what a hopeless romantic he was.
On his birthday livestream, he deliberately took a call from He Chén and sent him a meaningful glance.
After taking down a gang of thugs, he ignored the pharmacy across the street and showed off a wound that would have healed a second later. "Ge, I'm hurt. There's no pharmacy nearby."
He had nothing on his mind all day except his ge. One moment he would be giving out instructions with a cold face, and the next, he'd be smiling like spring had come as soon as He Chén called.
His manager: "Do you know your ge is straight?"
"No."
"Well, now you know."
"No."
Song Jiu'an rarely looked into the mess inside him: those rusted desires to kill the people who deserved it, or to stop caring and run away from a world that didn't welcome him.
When it came to He Chén,
he only wanted to give him a bouquet of flowers.
*1v1 happy ending, younger seme, no blood relation or legal family ties.
*A beloved marriage-first, love-later trope. They're flirting all the time, with or without a reason.
Theme: Live life with a positive attitude.
Originally, the atmosphere in this experimental class was very depressing at this time, and many students did not have the ability to regulate their own emotions. Negative emotions would either hurt themselves inwardly, or hurt others outwardly. However, the head teacher does not care about students' mental health, but only focuses on scores, belittles and insults students, and condones bullying among students. It's just like raising gu, and you deserve to be beaten...
Uh-huh-oh, I finally finished my homework and came to watch the extras... It's so sweet and they're so good!! And Cheche... I'm good, I can't be better!!

Not only the emotional interaction between the two protagonists is sweet and exciting, but also the interactions between characters such as Xiao Ji, President Fang, Lao Zhangtou, Qingbao Godmother, etc. Are extremely vivid and cute, and the whole story is full of youthful atmosphere, vitality and vitality! The plot is well arranged, the logic of everything that happens is rigorous, realistic, and dramatic. They are all ordinary trivial things, but they are written so realistically that it is gripping!--! The style, writing and content are highly recommended and I am looking forward to the author's next work!!
Teacher, do you still remember? When we were kids, we went to the temple fair together, but we were so greedy that we ate the sacrifices. But when the villagers came, I was the only one who was arrested, because you are the real god??
Recently, I have read all Teacher Ran's novels every day. My boyfriend was very unhappy and asked me, "Who would you save if he and I fell into the river?" I said: "I will definitely save you first!" My boyfriend hugged me happily and laughed, and I laughed too, because only Teacher Qingran and I can fall in love.
Qi Zhuo is also very good at it! Who can refuse the confession of a straight-ball puppy! Shao Qing also has a good personality! It's so sweet that you can marry me!
I am consummated (peaceful), the clear treasure and the burnt treasure will last forever
