Fainting into My Mortal Enemy's Arms

[New Novel Coming Soon: The Cannon-Fodder Supporting Male Reincarnates and Cuddles Up to His Rival]

Xia Si'ai is the top student and school bully who rules the roost at Nancheng No. 1 High School.

He's got the looks, the grades, and the real (martial) arts skills.

His only shortcoming is that this famously fearsome school bully is a sickly young man in poor health.

·

Xia Si'ai has a childhood friend who, in their third year of middle school, left him alone in Nancheng without a word and vanished without saying goodbye. From then on, they severed ties and couldn't stand the sight of each other.

He thought life would go on like that. But in his second year of high school, that childhood friend he "couldn't stand" once again showed up without a word, returning "without saying goodbye," and even transferred into his class.

When Zhou Hangyou stood up to introduce himself, Xia Si'ai started wondering what he'd been doing.

Oh.

He'd been lying motionless on his desk, pretending to be dead because of a stomachache.

It wasn't until the chair beside him was pulled out and someone set books on the empty seat that Xia Si'ai accepted the fact that his childhood friend had "returned without saying goodbye."

He lifted his eyelids to look at him. The more he looked, the angrier he got. Rage surged inside him, and he suddenly slapped the desk and stood up. "You son of a, "

His vision went black, and he fell into Zhou Hangyou's arms, whimpering as he rubbed his stomach.

Xia Si'ai: "..."

Zhou Hangyou held him with one arm and deftly took a hot-water bottle, stomach medicine, and a light blanket out of his backpack. Calm as ever, he said, "Xia Si'ai, we haven't seen each other in so long, and you're throwing yourself into my arms already?"

Xia Si'ai: "..."

Go throw yourself into your grandma's arms.

·

After only a few years apart, Zhou Hangyou couldn't understand how his childhood friend, who'd been pampered since childhood and had nothing wrong with him except a stomach condition, had become so... so frail and delicate.

Though this guy was delicate and weak, when he pinned someone down in the bathroom and beat them up, he didn't pull his punches.

"Childhood friends? Who knows how many times they've already slept together. I wonder which one tops."

That was when Xia Si'ai smashed his fist into the man's face.

He crouched on the floor, his face full of fury, and punched without mercy. "I won't let you insult him like that."

When Zhou Hangyou walked in, this was what he saw.

He calmly went over and crouched beside Xia Si'ai, pressing his broad palm against Xia Si'ai's stomach. Pain stabbed through it, and Xia Si'ai melted into Zhou Hangyou's arms.

"Does it hurt?"

Xia Si'ai grabbed Zhou Hangyou by the collar. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. "...It hurts."

Zhou Hangyou rubbed his hair, picked him up in his arms, and carried him out of the bathroom.

The actual victim lay on the floor with blood all over his face: "...?!"

One-on-one, happy ending. Both are each other's first love, and both are virgins.

Content warnings:

1. The bottom is often ill, but he can run and jump. He's not completely weak.

2. Strong top, weak bottom.

3. The bottom gets sick very easily, especially with stomach problems. Read at your own discretion.

4. His frailty isn't congenital; there's a reason for it. The reason he's the rival is related to this, too. They're not true rivals, since both have their own issues.

5. A short story written to fill in a plot hole.

6. There's not much plot. It's a pampering story written to satisfy my kinks, about taking care of a frail wife.

7. The focus is on "pampering," not on "rivals." Read at your own discretion.

8. The medical details are entirely made up. Please don't scrutinize them.

The Cannon-Fodder Supporting Male Reincarnates and Cuddles Up to His Rival

Jiang Sui is handsome and bright, with countless admirers at school.

But he's stubbornly devoted, throwing himself into the shadow of a scum gong until he's battered and bleeding.

When the scum gong tells him to go east, he never goes west. Whatever the scum gong asks him to do, he never talks back.

After Jiang Sui dies, he suddenly realizes that in his entire life, he'd been nothing but a cannon-fodder character with a few lines in a scum-and-slut novel.

Luckily... he was reborn.

·

Back in high school at seventeen, he's still that bright, handsome boy, and he's even gained a photographic memory.

Watching the scum gong wander around in front of him, Jiang Sui curls his lip in a sneer. Get lost!

In this life, someone else can be the pathetic slut.

He's going to stay away from the scum gong, study hard, and reach the pinnacle of success!

·

The problem is, his grades are so bad he needs to find someone to tutor him.

Jiang Sui turns his attention to the top student in the whole school--

Qin Wang, an academic prodigy. A good family, a good background, and good looks.

That's the kind of model student worthy of standing by his side!

It's just that...

They're rivals.

Or rather, he's the only one who thinks so.

·

To smooth things over and create a good study atmosphere, Jiang Sui launches his campaign:

He brings Qin Wang breakfast in the morning,

flirts with Qin Wang during class,

and waits for him after school so they can go home together.

Every so often, he even begs with a whine, "Can we stop being rivals and cuddle?"

Qin Wang finally loses patience and pins Jiang Sui against the wall. "Are you possessed? Didn't you used to hate the sight of me?"

Jiang Sui lifts his face and smiles at Qin Wang.

"Yeah. Want to take over and push him out?"

Qin Wang lets go and sneers, disdainful of such a low-level come-on.

But after that, he unexpectedly grows used to Jiang Sui's closeness.

He waits for him before school, during breaks, and after class so they can go home together...

Until--

At graduation, the usually aloof and unromantic Qin Wang gives Jiang Sui a bouquet of flowers, with a love letter tucked between them.

Jiang Sui, who has already received an admission letter from the country's number-one university, raises his face at leisure and toys with the letter. "You want me to be your boyfriend? I only see you as my tutor."

The air around Qin Wang turns icy. He stares at Jiang Sui in silence, his gaze dangerous, like a predator watching its prey.

After a moment, Jiang Sui can't help laughing. He lifts his face and kisses Qin Wang on the corner of the mouth. "I was lying. Cuddle me."

·

Out of sight, the scum gong from the original novel, now trapped in a mess and rejected from university, grits his teeth in the shadows, consumed by regret.

#A young heart's crush is a blazing midsummer dream. You led me into the light, and I'll warm the rest of your life#
