Shen Lan was handsome, came from a wealthy family, and had parents who were rarely around. He grew up with a spoiled, unruly personality, until he met a new transfer student in his second year of high school.

The guy was tall and long-legged, with sharp, cold features. He looked like a perfect gentleman, but the first thing he did was punch Shen Lan.

???

Shen Lan was just about to teach him a lesson he'd never forget when he suddenly realized he'd picked a fight with the wrong person?!

Shen Lan: ...I have some choice words, but I'm not sure I should say them.

The misunderstanding was over, and Shen Lan resolved to stay out of He Chen's way. But the very next day, he fell into He Chen's hands again, and the guy even started meddling in his business without a hint of shame!

"Milk tea has too much sugar. It'll hurt your throat."

"Drink less alcohol. It's bad for you."

"It's cold. Wear a thicker coat."

After being told what to do one too many times, Shen Lan, fed up with all the restrictions, finally snapped. "Who are you to me? Why should I listen to you?!"

He Chen glanced at Shen Lan's down jacket and the milk in his thermos, raising an eyebrow.

"Your boyfriend. Is that okay?"

Shen Lan's ears turned bright red in an instant. "Ahem. Y-yes, okay..."

Damn, that was totally unfair...

On his first day as a transfer student, He Chen ran into someone looking for trouble.

The guy had delicate features but was prickly all over. He was impossible to ignore just standing there.

He thought they would never have anything to do with each other again, but everything changed on Shen Lan's birthday.

At karaoke, He Chen looked down at the person sitting on his lap, cradling his face. The other's eyes were rimmed in red, his smile hazy with drunkenness, and He Chen couldn't help his throat from bobbing.

Suddenly, he felt as if he were the one who was drunk.

Otherwise, why did his heart feel like this?

Upcoming novel: I Never Lose at Sniping [Esports]

During the finals of a professional 3v3 tournament, rising star and dark horse sniper Ji Sinian fired a blank in front of the crowd, leaving his teammates to be wiped out. The internet erupted in criticism.

But just then, the official VK account announced that Ji Sinian had joined the team as its starting sniper.

Ji Sinian: ...Thanks, but my brother's the one who got me into this mess.

The announcement sent shockwaves through the internet. People furiously condemned VK and chanted, "Ji Sinian, get out of VK!"

But Ji Sinian loved going against the grain. On the very first day of his official announcement, he made a bold declaration.

"When it comes to sniping, I never lose."

A head-to-head sniper duel in a solo match? Sorry, the championship is mine.

A difficult long-range shot? Easy. No problem.

A 1v5 comeback from behind? An impossible challenge? I'm the miracle.

After one jaw-dropping play after another, netizens changed their tune and cheered him on.

"God Ning's plays are incredible!"

"If anyone talks trash again, shove the videos in their face!"

Everyone knew Ji Sinian and VK captain Xu Che couldn't stand each other. Whenever they opened their mics, sparks flew.

Every day, netizens watched nervously, afraid they'd hear that the VK sniper duo had come to blows.

"Focus on the match. Keep your hands to yourselves!"

"God Ning, safety first, competition second!"

"God Xu, take a step back and live to see another day!"

But somehow, a rumor began to spread that Ji Sinian feared nothing and no one, except that he turned into a total coward in front of his captain.

Ji Sinian: That's nonsense! Who said that? Show yourself! Me, afraid of him?

Xu Che: What if I said it?

Ji Sinian: ...

Xu Che: Put your legs down. Fix your clothes and hair.

Ji Sinian: ...Okay.

Netizens: ???

Am I seeing things? Has the world gone completely mad?!

Upcoming novel: Happily Ever After with My Ex on a Dating Show [ABO]

Everyone knew the entertainment industry had two top-tier stars.

Omega Zhu Yao could punch scumbags and kick degenerates. He was practically the industry's number one menace.

Alpha Qi Xuan was polite and courteous to everyone, and never crossed a line. He was hailed as the industry's finest moral example.

They were as different as could be, yet everyone knew they were sworn enemies.

They released songs on the same day, performed at galas in the same time slot, and even managed to mock each other simultaneously in interviews streamed from places thousands of miles apart.

The stars themselves and their fans fought bitterly, turning the internet into a battlefield. No one knew that the two of them had once been the closest of lovers.

Looking for buzz, a dating show invited them both. Zhu Yao glanced at the contract and its various intimate games, then started to say, "How could I possibly do a show like this..."

"Are you scared?"

"...How could I possibly refuse?"

Zhu Yao slapped the table and looked straight into Qi Xuan's eyes. "Whoever's scared is a dog."

Qi Xuan sneered. "Deal."

The announcement stunned the entire internet. Everyone wondered how long it would take them to start fighting, but the show soon took a strange turn.

Is this kind of teamwork really normal for you two?

Is it really okay that you know every last detail about each other?

Wait, why are you coming out of the same room?!

In the middle of the night, Zhu Yao touched his swollen neck and the marks all over his body, then gritted his teeth and declared, "It means nothing! We'll never have anything to do with each other again!"

A few seconds later, Qi Xuan reposted: "The little cat at home got worked up and needs soothing. Sorry you had to see that."

Netizens: !!! The least likely couple of the year actually got together!

Theme: Study hard and build a future together.
