Don't Pin Me Down in My School Uniform

[The new story next door, Online Rivals, is already underway. Favorite it and I'll help you find online love (confident)]

[The full story is complete. A million thanks to all the lovely angels who support the official release!]

In his previous life, Yu Xuan was a notorious delinquent at school. He did everything except study, until even his own mother gave up on him and he ruined his future for good.

So the first thing he did after being reborn was buckle down and study, determined to get into college.

But there was someone in his class Yu Xuan couldn't stand the sight of.

Wasn't this the mechanic's kid who'd secretly written him a love letter in his previous life?!

Now the mechanic's kid was a troublemaker, his sharp gaze as fierce as ever. He looked like the sort who was vicious in a fight and impossible to straighten out.

Qi Shu glanced at Yu Xuan.

Yu Xuan: Don't tell me he's about to confess to me.

The next second, Qi Shu blurted, "Stop staring. I'm not interested in you."

Yu Xuan: "."

In this life, Yu Xuan was determined to go straight and stay as far away from the bastard Qi Shu as possible.

He had no idea that his archenemy was actually a top student, picking fights one minute and getting high scores the next. Suddenly, Qi Shu was completely out of his league!

Looking at his lousy score, Yu Xuan reluctantly went to Qi Shu himself and slapped a stack of test papers on his desk. "I'm giving you one chance to get close to me."

Qi Shu: "Don't need it."

"Right," Yu Xuan said, just as he was about to sit down. Then he froze. "Wait, what???"

Later, Yu Xuan finally persuaded Qi Shu to tutor him. Qi Shu laid down three rules:

No fighting.

No holding me back.

No relationship beyond classmates.

Without a second thought, Yu Xuan said, "I'd rather jump from here than have anything to do with you."

Qi Shu sneered inwardly. "I should be the one saying that."

Until one day, their classmates discovered the two archenemies wearing each other's uniforms and asked in alarm what their relationship was.

Yu Xuan answered with righteous conviction, though the tips of his ears were red. "You jump first."

Qi Shu politely declined. "You go first."

Classmate: "Why don't you two jump together?"

Blurb for Online Rivals:

Luo Cong, a rookie PUBG streamer, once went live during a tournament and called a pro player completely worthless.

Luo Cong: "My nephew, who's only just started elementary school, plays better than you. I suggest you buy a cheat."

His comments sparked heated discussion, and Luo Cong became infamous across the internet.

A few days later, Luo Cong ran into that pro player in a game during another livestream. Everyone was waiting for the fireworks.

Instead, the red-haired boy coolly took him down. His skills and good looks both made a splash, and he proved his point with a spectacular face-slapping.

Luo Cong declared, "Being bad is a sin. Tenet is the only one I acknowledge in this scene."

The top player on the Asian server had received a public love confession, and the ship "Knowing the Route" was born.

Then Luo Cong revealed that he was in an online relationship. Rumor had it his girlfriend was so bad she could barely hold a gun.

Taking sniper fire head-on;

Hitting my teammates with grenades;

Turning a firefight into a fashion show...

Everyone who watched Luo Cong's streams said the relationship wouldn't last the night, but rumors claimed Luo Cong was hopelessly devoted.

Viewers: We don't believe it.

But the foul-mouthed, bad-tempered streamer wasn't fazed. The corners of his tightly pressed lips seemed to turn up ever so slightly.

"They're adorable."

Viewers: Hello? What happened to "being bad is a sin"?

No one knew what Luo Cong was really thinking.

His online partner liked obedient types, so he had to act innocent.

But after spending some time together, Luo Cong gradually realized... his partner might be a guy?

.

A few months later, the ZG Club announced a player transfer.

Grove wore the ZG uniform and won the league championship. His flamboyant, handsome red hair drew everyone's attention, and people noticed that Luo Cong and God Shi seemed unusually close.

In a post-match interview, Luo Cong was asked how he'd risen to prominence in such a short time.

His answer was downright cool: "I have Tenet to thank for coaching me one-on-one."

The rumors about them were immediately put to rest.

That evening, back at the team base, Xue Jingshi, the player who'd been named, sought Luo Cong out for a private coaching session. But the usually quick-tongued Luo Cong could barely get a word out.

Xue Jingshi switched to his gaming alt right in front of him. "How does it feel to meet your online lover in person?"

With his online partner standing right before him, Luo Cong's face flushed red. He blurted out what he really thought: "...Fuck."

He couldn't keep pretending to be sweet and obedient for another second.
