After Getting into My Academic Rival's Car

*Please leave a review if you've bought the whole book! Thank you to all the lovely readers who support the official version!*

Xue Liu is the pursuer, Ye Jin is the pursued.

Jiangzhou University of Chinese Medicine has two famously sworn enemies.

Ye Jin and Xue Liu couldn't stand each other from the day they joined the teaching and research department, and even got into a fight despite being university professors.

Professor Ye is cold and aloof, but in private he's a gaming addict.

Besides doing academic research, he likes causing mayhem in GTA (the game Grand Theft Auto) and ruling Los Santos.

His partner, "AutumnWind," often parks a Bugatti Veyron right in front of him and asks in a magnetic, seductive voice, "Babe, want a ride?"

Professor Ye's mouth twitches. "Quit flirting."

Professor Xue is cheerful and easygoing, a notorious rich playboy in Jiangzhou.

Besides befriending his students, he likes following someone around in GTA.

His partner, "TreadonSnow," often teases him: "Do you have to talk in that voice?"

Professor Xue grins. "Thanks for the compliment."

Lately, Professor Xue has felt like someone might steal his gaming partner away, so he has to ask him out and make a move.

A flashy Bugatti drifts through the entrance of Jiangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and stops perfectly.

The window is still rolling down when he blurts out his pick-up line. "Babe, want a ride?"

Then he sees Ye Jin's sharp, complicated gaze, and Xue Liu's voice cuts off. The corner of his mouth twitches.

Ye Jin says coldly, "Heh. Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves?"

Xue Liu takes off his sunglasses. "Treading on Snow?"

#An outwardly flirtatious, inwardly lovestruck bad-boy pursuer x a cool, self-possessed, keep-away-from-me pursued

#Inspired by the historical story of two sworn-enemy physicians specializing in warm diseases, Xue Xue and Ye Gui. Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves and Treading on Snow are references to their names. Everything else is fictional and unrelated to real life.

#The medical details haven't been thoroughly researched, so don't scrutinize them. If you care a lot about their ages, occupations, or status, this story isn't for you. It's just a sweet, fluffy story for beginners.

Two taekwondo coaches

A flirtatious pursuer who has a secret crush but won't act on it x a pursued man who somehow falls for him without realizing it

[Blurb]

Jing Simai used to be a taekwondo athlete. He retired after being injured at the peak of his career during an ITF cage-fighting match.

After retiring, he became a coach. Then the neighboring club hired a very handsome part-time coach, Zhou Xuyan.

The first time they met was during a friendly match between the club coaches.

Zhou Xuyan caught Jing Simai off guard with a head-high crescent kick at an awkward angle, knocking him out.

It was a friendly match. Why did he go so hard? Does he hate me?

During summer training, they were assigned to the same dojang.

Zhou Xuyan hitched a ride home on Jing Simai's little electric scooter every day.

He's taking advantage of me too.

One night, as they were leaving the dojang, a student who'd returned to pick something up caught sight of them.

Jing Simai was in the front wearing a helmet, while Zhou Xuyan held him tightly around the waist from the back.

Student: "Coach Jing, are you and Coach Zhou really together?"

Jing Simai: "Kid, there's no love in competitive sports."

Zhou Xuyan: "There is! We get handsy in front of people and kick each other around in private."

The Zhou family was strict.

As a teenager, Zhou Xuyan rebelled, growing his hair long and getting into rock music.

One night, while walking home late, Zhou Xuyan ran into a few thugs in an alley.

Just as he was about to fight them, a young man rushed over and dealt with the thugs.

The brave young man: "Miss, don't be afraid."

Zhou Xuyan: "?"
