-The top student uke who is always mistaken for a rich heiress vs. the straight school bully seme who is always mistaken for a playboy

Ning Xu is the top student in his grade at Lanjiang High School. During the summer before his senior year, he started a study-with-me livestream. The screen showed only a glimpse of a snow-white wrist and slender fingers with distinct knuckles.

He never spoke, only silently bowed his head and studied, completely unaware that the viewers had already decided he was a girl.

[His wife's fingertips and knuckles are all red~]

[The mole on our baby's pinky is so cute, I wanna suck it!]

[Waaah, my wife's bracelet is LV. My rich heiress wife! Can you wear a ribbon tomorrow?]

Ning Xu happened to look up and see the comment. He replied coldly, "Are you insane?"

Jing Wen was the notorious school bully at Lanjiang High School. He got into fights and trouble, had terrible grades, and was loved by everyone.

He turned down a string of admirers, but no one knew he was a serious hand fetishist.

During summer vacation, Jing Wen was confined at home by his family and forced to study. While scrolling on his phone, he came across a livestream.

The screen showed a tidy desk and a fair, pretty hand idly spinning a pen. The wrist bone stood out slightly, the fingertips were tinged pale pink, and there was a red mole on the pinky.

Jing Wen's blood rushed to his head. He immediately sent a pile of gifts and shot to the top of the rankings.

From then on, he checked in to study every day.

He couldn't help imagining that the person on the other side was a cool, beautiful woman, imagining all sorts of things with that hand, imagining...

Until one day, the beauty spoke in a man's voice: "Are you insane?"

Jing Wen was struck by a bolt from the blue and stood there, stunned.

Five minutes later, trembling, he sent his first comment: [Holy shit, give me my money back!]

On the first day of senior year, the seating arrangements were completely reshuffled. The two class rivals who barely spoke at school were finally seated together, and everyone turned around, ready for a show.

Jing Wen glared at Ning Xu, who had taken the seat by the wall, and kicked his desk. "Move. I want the inside seat."

Ning Xu didn't even look at him. "Get lost. Sit wherever you want."

Just as everyone thought they were about to fight, Jing Wen sucked in a sharp breath, his face full of shock. That voice insulting him was way too familiar!

A moment later, he said shakily, "Try cursing me out again."

Ning Xu had never heard such a strange request. He narrowed his eyes and studied him for a while, then parted his lips and said in a sweet, fragrant voice, "Get lost."

Jing Wen was completely dumbfounded.

The seme has a secret crush · childhood friends turned rivals · cold-faced cutie

Song Zhen was every bit as refined as his name suggested, with cool, striking features and grades that left everyone else far behind. He was frail as a child and had to wear protective jewelry. A gold-and-jade bracelet on his left hand and a platinum chain around his ankle made him look every inch a pampered young master.

After transferring to Lanjiang High School, he unexpectedly came face-to-face with his nemesis, Lu Jia.

His childhood friend had become the school bully, with such a violent temper that no one dared cross him.

Song Zhen kept up his aloof heartthrob image in public, then privately messaged the campus confessions wall: [I want to submit something. Lu Jia is such an idiot.]

Wall: [? We don't accept profanity.]

Song Zhen: [Lu Jia is a stupid idiot. Anonymous, thanks.]

Wall: [...]

After that, he constantly vented to the wall: [Lu Jia rolled his eyes at me again. I really want to kick him.][Every time I pass Lu Jia's seat to get water, I feel like punching him.][Lu Jia got fifteen points on the physics test. Even my dog could score higher by pressing its paws on the answers.]

Later, they made up, but the hurt between them never went away. After drinking too much, Song Zhen confided in the wall.

The wall asked: [So why did you two fall out?]

Song Zhen slurred: [He thought I was asleep. He was watching a video while jerking off to my hand, then kissed me when he was done... I treated him like a brother, but he treated me like a stand-in for the actor. Damn straight guy.]

Admin 2 witnessed the chat and trembled with fear: ...This guy might actually be gay!

Lu Jia was an illegitimate child of a wealthy family. He was cast aside and bullied from a young age. After Song Zhen saved him, he began a long, secret crush.

The Lanjiang High School confessions wall was something he created for Song Zhen, a place to record his hidden affection.

He watched the person he had a crush on complain about him, furious but unable to say a word.

In Lu Jia's eyes: When Song Zhen encountered thugs at eight, Lu Jia secretly protected him for days. When Song Zhen's mother died at ten, Lu Jia quietly climbed through his window to keep watch over him. When someone slandered Song Zhen at fifteen, Lu Jia beat them until they shut up.

That day, he wasn't watching a video. He was watching the birthday greeting Song Zhen had recorded.

In Song Zhen's eyes: When Lu Jia was eight, he was always following Song Zhen around. When Song Zhen was ten, a thief staked out his home. At fifteen, Lu Jia became the school bully everyone feared. He had always been obsessed with competing against other boys, copied everyone, and was secretly watching Song Zhen. Afraid of being caught, he had quickly rolled his eyes as an excuse.

Song Zhen: You could've just said you had a crush on me. What a mess... Wait, he's gay?

He scratched his head, troubled, and sent a post to the wall: [This is bad, Wall. I think my buddy has a crush on me.]

Wall: [That's serious.]

Song Zhen: [Right? What should I do?]

Wall: [Fight fire with fire. If he has a crush on you, have a crush on him back. If he kisses you, kiss him back. You won't lose out.]

Song Zhen: ?

Theme: Pursue true feelings and cherish the present.
