Blurbs at the bottom~] Wen Yan was a famously aloof top student at City No. 1 High School, keeping everyone at arm's length. He had a secret: he suffered from skin hunger, but also had a phobia of physical contact. So he always kept a safe distance from other people, and whenever his skin hunger flared up, he simply endured it. But his condition spiraled out of control after he met Fu Qingci. He found that he wasn't repelled by Fu Qingci's closeness, while all the usual ways of easing his skin hunger stopped working. But Fu Qingci was the infamous school bully, with bright red hair and a wild, arrogant attitude. Apart from his childhood friend and lackeys, nobody dared get close to him. Wen Yan had no choice but to ask a teacher to make him Fu Qingci's deskmate. At first, Fu Qingci and his lackeys were convinced this had to be some kind of scheme by a model student. Trying to reform him? Dream on! But when he skipped class, Wen Yan covered for him. When he couldn't be bothered to eat, Wen Yan brought him breakfast. Wen Yan even protected him in fights, holding on to his injured arm and refusing to let go. Thanks to Wen Yan's tireless efforts, he finally became part of Fu Qingci's gang, sneaking in the occasional cuddle to ease his skin hunger. Fu Qingci couldn't make sense of it. He'd never seen a lackey cling to someone like that! One of his lackeys opened his eyes to the truth: "He's totally got a crush on you!" Fu Qingci blushed and hurriedly covered the lackey's mouth. "Don't make things up!" Aren't they just purely platonic bros? Then one day, his usually aloof deskmate suddenly blocked his way, and rested a slightly warm fingertip against his hand. Wen Yan lowered his eyes, his cool voice a little hoarse. "Could I have a cuddle?" Fu Qingci's ears turned red: ?! Yes! Yes! You can have anything, even my life!

Let's not ruin each other's mood~ Magic and the Stars blurb The great mage Jiano was transported a thousand years into the future, to the interstellar age, by a time array of his own creation. People no longer studied magic there, but worshipped technological civilization. His own ancient castle had even been turned into a junkyard. Jiano pulled the wand from a stake being used as a signpost, looked around at the high-tech surroundings, and clicked his tongue. "How pathetic." And so, a livestream called "Magic Academy Admissions" appeared on the Star Network. "You have a craving for blood? I suggest you make sure of your species first." "Our academy teaches all schools of magic, and we have freshly made custom wands. Spaces are limited, so it's first come, first served." "I don't think the empire's method of exterminating magical beasts is right. Why not come learn purification magic from me?" At first, everyone thought he was a fraud, making a spectacle of himself and spouting nonsense: [Kid, why not just make a living off your looks? Stop scamming people!] But later, everyone in the livestream regretted it, flooding the chat with messages: [Another day of asking where the Magic Academy is!] * The ancient evil dragon Seville awoke from its slumber, only to discover that the great mage who had sealed him away was still alive. To get revenge, Seville decided to sneak into the Magic Academy, swallow his pride, and wait for the chance to take out his old nemesis. But before long, he became Jiano's star pupil. The evil dragon took the opportunity to sneak into his room, only to be forced into his cub form by a magic array underfoot. The man yawned and grabbed him by the tail, asking with wicked amusement, "Hmm, should I steam you or braise you?" Only those close to them were allowed to touch a dragon's tail. Seville bared his teeth and struggled, even breathing fire and burning off Jiano's long hair. Much later Seville grew more and more dissatisfied as he watched creatures from other worlds gather around Jiano. Under cover of night, he climbed into Jiano's bed and prodded him restlessly with his tail. When Jiano slapped his tail away, the little dragon, still in cub form, snarled out the most timid words imaginable: "You touched my tail, so now you have to be my wife! No taking it back!" The honest-to-goodness blurb Yu Qing realized there was something strange about his childhood friend, Fang Zhiyi. Fang Zhiyi had been a total straight guy since childhood. He never noticed when men or women flirted with him, either chatting them into silence or turning them into good friends. Apart from after exercising, Yu Qing had never seen Fang Zhiyi blush. But lately, Yu Qing had noticed that Fang Zhiyi was blushing far too often. When Yu Qing casually fixed Fang Zhiyi's collar, the other man would slap his hand away, ears red. Yu Qing made bone broth for Fang Zhiyi after he sprained his ankle. After finishing the hot soup in one go, the other man kicked him out of the dorm room. Yu Qing wanted to blow an eyelash out of Fang Zhiyi's eye. He'd barely leaned in when Fang Zhiyi pushed him away with a red face, then nearly tripped as he hurried off. Yu Qing remembered that the strange behavior had started after his family asked Fang Zhiyi to bring him something. The bag contained only his cousin's textbooks, which had nothing to do with him. His cousin had repeatedly warned him not to look inside, and to return them when their parents weren't around. A thought struck Yu Qing. He opened the cover and found that it contained a danmei comic that had recently become a huge hit. It began with two men kissing passionately on a big bed. Yu Qing: Case solved. Turns out the worldview of a total straight guy has collapsed. * To preserve their friendship of many years, Yu Qing decided to have an honest talk with his friend. After class one day, Yu Qing grabbed Fang Zhiyi, who'd been avoiding him, and took him to a nearby cafe. Yu Qing: "The comic belongs to my cousin, but I really am gay." Fang Zhiyi, sitting across from him, looked a little strange. Yu Qing went on: "But don't worry. I only think of you as a good friend. You're not my type." Instead of looking relieved, Fang Zhiyi angrily crunched the ice in his mouth. "Yu Qing, don't you have a conscience?!" Yu Qing: "?" "You're the one who turned me gay! So..." Fang Zhiyi's face went red, and he snapped: "You're going to take responsibility!!!"
