A clueless, flirtatious, straightforward jock seme × a cool, teasing, genuinely sickly beauty uke
One-on-one campus romance
[Blurb]
Ye Xi is a famous figure at school. He's spent his whole life surrounded by medicine, and while his health is poor, he's an excellent student. He also inherited his parents' good looks, and is an exceptionally refined beauty, universally known around school for his cool demeanor. The line of people bringing him gifts and hand warmers is always long, and they include both boys and girls.
Because of his health, he's often cold all over. Even in the blazing heat of summer, he wears a thick coat. He rarely takes part in outdoor activities and spends his days studying or spacing out in the classroom.
Qu Feng is captain of the school's basketball club. He's incredibly fit and has a great physique. He loves showing off on the basketball court and listening to his classmates shriek for him. He takes it all as praise.
One day, while he was working out on the field, the students across the way were rehearsing for the freshman gala. The speaker on stage was Ye Xi. Back in the dorm, his roommates asked what he thought of Ye Xi, the school's famous, cool beauty.
Qu Feng said he just didn't get the appeal. The guy was so pale and sickly he looked like a ghost, couldn't carry anything or even lift a finger. What kind of man was that?
Who could have guessed what happened later?
He followed Ye Xi around, carrying his things and books, reminding him to drink water, and fussing over him so he wouldn't have to exert himself. He even stepped in to shield him from danger, terrified he might get so much as a bump or a bruise.
His roommate asked what on earth he was doing.
He replied, "Some people need to be doted on, and they're only suited to being doted on. You roughnecks don't understand a thing!"
Roommate: ...???
Who was it that used to look down on him so much?
[Bonus Scene]
One day.
Ye Xi was feeling so awful that the medicine beside him made no difference at all. His body temperature was close to freezing.
He called Qu Feng over.
Looking at Qu Feng, who had just finished playing basketball and radiated masculine energy...
Qu Feng had no idea what was going on. Seeing Ye Xi lying in bed, drenched in cold sweat and shivering, he thought he should take him to the hospital and crouched down beside him.
"Are you sick? Should I take you to the hospital?"
Ye Xi gritted his teeth and fell silent for a moment. He was already a little delirious, but he still tried to hold himself back.
"Can I touch your hand? Just once."
"...?"
How could he give up on a walking hand warmer?
