I Became My Son's Classmate and Got a Happy Ending with His Friend

I've started a new book, the first in my column. I'll work on this one for a while, then start the other schoolmate story.

This is just my style. I can only improve gradually, so I can't change it for now.

Also known as: Why Are You Always So Nice to Him?

Reborn in a new life, Chen Yao becomes Lu Yao, a classmate of his own son, Chen Ziqi.

He used to be too busy with work. Only after dying did he realize how much he had neglected his son.

So he resolves to stay by his son's side and help him build a bright future.

But a roadblock appears in the way of this noble goal: his son's good friend, Qi Yuan.

It turns out that Lu Yao's original self was gay and had once sent Qi Yuan a love letter.

The first day of the new class assignments in their second year of high school.

Qi Yuan: "Hey, have we met before?"

Lu Yao: "You've got the wrong person."

Then Qi Yuan went home and found the love letter he'd forgotten in a corner.

Lu Yao couldn't understand why Qi Yuan kept introducing him to girls.

But it would have been rude to refuse, so he went to a movie with one and walked her home.

Who knew Qi Yuan would start making snide remarks afterward?

That kid probably isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Qi Yuan couldn't figure himself out, either.

He was worried Lu Yao would confess to him, so he introduced him to girls.

But seeing Lu Yao get along with a girl made him unhappy.

What happened to being determined? What happened to focusing on your studies?

Later, Qi Yuan saw Lu Yao bring Chen Ziqi water, save his place in line, and keep a seat for him. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't stand it.

That was when he finally understood his own feelings.

"Hey, you said you weren't into my Ziqi!"

Lu Yao was speechless. "Of course I'm not!"

Qi Yuan: "Then why are you so nice to him?"

Lu Yao: "What's it to you?"

After he said that, Qi Yuan pinned Lu Yao against the wall and kissed him hard.

"Do you need me to care?"

"..."

Coming soon: After I Let Go, My Sugar Daddy Went Crazy

The day Xu Jue became Lin Yijing's lover, Xu Jue came to his rescue, backlit and radiant, saving him from a desperate situation.

They signed an agreement. They kissed, embraced, and had sex, becoming each other's most intimate person, but never a lover.

Lin Yijing silently put up with all of Xu Jue's cruelty, submitting to him and indulging him, all for those brief moments of blissful illusion.

Xu Jue made Lin Yijing remember his place countless times, and Lin Yijing never forgot.

Five years later, Xu Jue's first love returned. Lin Yijing, who had always known his place, chose to leave.

But the moment he was gone, Xu Jue went mad.

-

Everyone knew Xu Jue had someone he treasured above all else: his first love.

For that person, he went so far as to turn against his father, becoming a powerful figure in Jiang City while still young.

Over the years, rumors about him never stopped. President Xu neither denied nor responded to them. People loved to gossip, but no one took them seriously. Lin Yijing was just a stand-in.

Until the internet erupted with news that Xu Jue had gotten into a fight with an acclaimed actor over Lin Yijing, a little-known actor.

That day, President Xu and Lin Yijing posted responses on Weibo at almost the same time.

ROSE.R Xu Jue: "Lin Yijing and I have been together for five years."

Lin Yijing: "President Xu and Teacher Zhang are both friends. Don't spread rumors, and don't believe them."

The revelation sent shock waves across the internet.

Netizens: Well, yes, but President Xu is the one spreading this "rumor."

-

Xu Jue couldn't believe that Lin Yijing, who couldn't sleep without him, had really left.

Lin Yijing hadn't touched a single cent of the money Xu Jue had given him. Looking into it led Xu Jue to an old story.

Only when Xu Jue saw that Lin Yijing had a mole in the same spot as his own, and remembered all those nights when Lin Yijing held him and ran his fingers over that mole, as well as the cuff links worth millions that Lin Yijing had given him, did he finally understand.

He, Xu Jue, had been someone else's stand-in all along.
