The Cool, Aloof Top Student Is a Poor Little Thing

Coming soon: My New Top-Tier Star Is My Damn Ex-Boyfriend

[Bratty young master who excels at raising kids × aloof in public, sweet and obedient in private, top student]

1.

Shen Nuobai had always kept to himself, cool-headed and disciplined, until he met his new deskmate, Zhou Qian.

On his transfer application, Zhou Qian was described as a bona fide troublemaker and school bully. Shen Nuobai had assumed the two of them would have nothing to do with each other.

But in less than a week, Zhou Qian had stumbled upon all kinds of Shen Nuobai's secrets, big and small: his sweet tooth, the dancing he did in secret, and the fact that people were extorting him.

Shen Nuobai: "..."

Later, his school-bully deskmate grew increasingly strange. He kept criticizing Shen Nuobai for eating junk food every day, either instant noodles or oden, and came up with all sorts of ways to lure him home for dinner.

Wagyu beef and chestnut rice, taro balls with boba, fresh shrimp congee, shrimp and asparagus pasta, grilled fish rice, sweet rice balls with longan, sticky rice ribs...

Every dish was so delicious it left you wanting more.

Watching him eat happily, Zhou Qian leaned lazily against the back of his chair. "Not worse than 7-Eleven instant noodles and oden, right?"

Shen Nuobai popped another spoonful of braised rice into his mouth and raised his eyelids halfway. "Instant noodles? Oden? What's that?"

2.

After Zhou Qian transferred to Jinchuan No. 1 High School, he became deskmates with Shen Nuobai, the top student in their grade.

On the first day after school, he realized Shen Nuobai seemed to have parents who didn't care about him.

Zhou Qian didn't even look up. What did that have to do with him?

On the third day, he saw Shen Nuobai being extorted in an alley.

Zhou Qian paused for a second, then turned and left.

On the fifth day, he realized Shen Nuobai ate junk food every day and especially loved candy in all sorts of flavors.

Zhou Qian scoffed. How was that any different from his three-year-old cousin's taste?

On the seventh day, he discovered Shen Nuobai was secretly a street-dance prodigy. Every step he danced seemed to land right on Zhou Qian's heart...

Zhou Qian fell silent.

How could someone as wonderful as Shen Nuobai be such a neglected little poor thing?

Young Master Zhou frowned and waved his hand. "I'll take care of him."

And so he not only brought Shen Nuobai home and personally cooked all three meals every day, but also kept him company while he danced and competed, never missing a thing.

Zhou Qian's friends: "Brother Qian, coming out to hang out?"

Zhou Qian: "No, I'm busy raising a kid."

Everyone: "???"

My New Top-Tier Star Is My Damn Ex-Boyfriend

[Hot-tempered, secretly girlish award-winning actor receiving × awkward, shamelessly biased big puppy, new top-tier star attacking]

01

Jiang Qinzhou turned down an acting variety show for aspiring performers, thinking it wasn't worth his time.

Later, a cut from a promotional interview went viral and made him famous.

In the video, a man named He Yi was reserved and taciturn.

That is, until the very end of the interview, when the director asked off-camera, "Which teacher in the industry would you most like to work with?"

He Yi lowered his eyes and smiled. "I want to work with Teacher Jiang Qinzhou."

"...I've liked Teacher Jiang for many years."

When the video reached Jiang Qinzhou, he was furiously arguing with haters on an alternate account.

After three hundred rounds of verbal combat, he won the argument, but still wasn't happy.

That damn He Yi was his ex-boyfriend, the one who'd stabbed him in the back so cruelly.

A scumbag like that belonged rotting in a trash can.

Spotting something more entertaining to do, Jiang Qinzhou sneered and called the director.

He accepted the offer.

02

The variety show premiered.

Jiang Qinzhou made no effort to hide his annoyance, openly mocking He Yi with cutting sarcasm.

But He Yi remained good-natured and answered every remark, making his blatant double standards impossible to miss.

With everyone else: "Mm. Okay. No."

With Teacher Jiang: "Are you cold? Are you hungry? You don't like sleeping on your right, so I'll let you have the bed on the left..."

The die-hard fans and CP fans, who were fighting tooth and nail and building towers of posts: silent.

Passersby: "Wait, He Yi has Teacher Jiang pinned at the top of his WeChat. I'm officially hooked!"

Later, the more people dug, the more they found.

They even uncovered the fact that the two had dated before.

As behind-the-scenes clips flooded the internet and fans went wild shipping them,

Jiang Qinzhou posted a clarification on Weibo in the middle of the night: [We've broken up.]

He attached a meme: a black garbage bag being tossed into a trash can, with the words "ex-boyfriend" on the bag.

The sarcasm was off the charts.

The stars themselves had dismantled the ship. For a while, CP fans wailed, solo fans rejoiced, and passersby collected crumbs and gossiped...

Everyone was making a fuss, and the whole thing was lively beyond belief.

Just as the excitement began to die down, during a live broadcast of an awards ceremony, a camera caught them in a corner.

Jiang Qinzhou leaned in with a smile to whisper in He Yi's ear, then dragged him into an elevator.

In the transparent elevator car, the two who seemed like sworn enemies kissed passionately.

Everyone in the livestream: "???"

What happened to the tragic ending???

So did they confess, then get back together after making up?!

Only He Yi knew that Jiang Qinzhou's whisper had been a knife that cut deep without drawing blood.

"Trying to pull strings to steal roles again? Why not just get back together with me?"

"Three months. The male lead in this drama is yours. How about it?"

Theme: Friendship, mutual aid, and a positive outlook on life.
