I Wore a Lolita Dress to Substitute Teach, and the Cool Campus Heartthrob Took Notice

[The main story is complete! Please show this little angel some support! Next up: "Hey, Is This Normal Between Roommates?" The blurb is at the very bottom.] [Money-minded, hardworking uke x aloof on the outside, flirtatious on the inside, rich young master seme] 1. Lin Yubai was slender and pretty, with a spirited personality, but came from a poor family. He worked three part-time jobs a day and occasionally took substitute teaching gigs. One night, he saw a substitute teaching job on the campus forum: [The poster is flying to Korea for an international cosplay competition on Wednesday afternoon and urgently needs a substitute for a first-year computer science lecture. Two classes, 200 each. Requirements: proficient in Java; applicants who can read foreign-language academic papers preferred.] Lin Yubai: $_$ He hurriedly messaged the poster and listed his qualifications: third-year computer science student, scholarship recipient every year, Level 2 Computer Software Engineering certificate, and CET-6. They had a pleasant chat, but when the poster learned Lin Yubai was male, she said regretfully, "I'm a woman." Lin Yubai: "I can dress like one." The poster looked at the blue-background ID photo Lin Yubai sent and, for once, agreed: "I suppose that could work." 2. On the day of the substitute lecture, Lin Yubai went to class wearing a lolita dress in a forest style, lent to him by his junior. He sat in the back row, listening attentively and taking notes the whole time. Things took a turn when it was time to form groups. He was paired with a junior in a white shirt, and they had half an hour to complete a project together. The junior was handsome and fit, with a red mole beneath his eye that was the perfect finishing touch. His only flaw was that he was quiet and distant, and didn't seem easy to get along with. Partway through, they disagreed on how to proceed, leaving the program stuck at a certain point. Lin Yubai's perfectionism and competitive streak kicked in. He took the junior's mouse-holding hand and, as he edited the code, explained gently: "This time, listen to me. First do this... then this, and finally this... See? The program can keep running now, right?" The junior's ears turned faintly red. He pulled his hand out of Lin Yubai's palm and gave a cool, "Mm." After class, though, the junior held out his phone to him of his own accord. "Let's exchange contact information. It'll be convenient for discussing problems." Lin Yubai gladly gave him his junior's contact information. 3. That night, after the deal was done and Lin Yubai had happily counted his money, he suddenly got a message from his junior: "Aaaah, Pei Zhilin, the department's heartthrob, added me! He even asked me to go to the library and work on our assignment! I'm still abroad at the competition, so hurry and go for me!" Lin Yubai was about to refuse on principle, but then he heard the sound of a transfer notification from Taobao. He secretly changed into his lolita dress, grabbed his laptop, and dashed to the library. Lin Yubai thought Pei Zhilin had invited him purely to study, but he never expected things to get more and more suspicious. Pei Zhilin asked about Lin Yubai's likes and tastes, brought him milk tea every time they met, offered to walk him back to his dorm, took evening strolls around the sports field with him, and even went to the movies with him on weekends... His instincts told Lin Yubai that Pei Zhilin was interested in him. But Lin Yubai was gay! He couldn't keep deceiving Pei Zhilin. On the night Pei Zhilin invited him to celebrate his birthday at a huge villa, Lin Yubai's junior happened to return from her competition abroad. As if saved by the heavens, Lin Yubai sent her the birthday address and a long message setting things straight, refunded all the substitute teaching fees, and then guiltily turned off his phone. 4. Pei Zhilin was handsome, aloof, and from a wealthy family. He was the unreachable flower atop a high mountain in the eyes of countless people in his department. No one knew he had a serious hand fetish. He liked hands with fair, smooth skin and long, well-defined fingers. If he gripped the wrist tightly, delicate blue veins would stand out. During a large lecture at the start of a new semester, he was paired with a girl from another class in his department. While they discussed a bug in the program, she guided him through changing the code, hand over hand. Pei Zhilin gazed at her hand, and his eyes suddenly stopped. It was a hand that perfectly matched his tastes. Her bones were like bamboo shoots emerging from a spring mountain, her fingertips faintly flushed and translucent, and her warmth burned all the way to Pei Zhilin's heart. The girl was unwittingly stringing him along, and yet she had bewitched him. Pei Zhilin went from testing the waters to understanding her, and finally fell deeply in love. But when he planned to use his birthday as an opportunity to confess, he discovered that the girl was someone else entirely. Not only was her name fake, but so was her gender. He called, but her phone was off. Pei Zhilin laughed in anger. 5. A month after Lin Yubai's identity was exposed, Pei Zhilin still hadn't come looking for him. Lin Yubai thought the matter was behind them, but one day, while delivering a parcel to the villa district, he opened the door to hand it over and was caught by Pei Zhilin, who forcefully pinned him inside. In the dim light, the corners of Lin Yubai's eyes were flushed. The other man gently but forcefully pried his fingers apart, slid between them, and interlaced their hands. A low, husky laugh rumbled in Pei Zhilin's throat: "You're trembling now, are you, senior? You smiled so sweetly when you were lying to me." [Important: Substitute teaching is purely a plot device. In real life, substitute teaching is expressly prohibited, so please take your studies seriously!] "Hey, Is This Normal Between Roommates?" [Uke: silly white cat Omega] [Seme: aloof black dragon Alpha] 1. Cheng Qingwu's twin brother was injured in an accident before the start of the school year. Unable to resist his brother's pleading, Cheng Qingwu agreed to take his place for a month at the elite military academy called Canglu. An Omega with only average natural ability, Cheng Qingwu had dropped out of school early. He ran a small restaurant in the countryside to earn money for his younger brother's education, and the two brothers depended on each other. Cheng Qingwu's spirit form was a white cat. Gentle and refined, he was equally capable of hosting guests and working in the kitchen. His small restaurant was thriving, and the neighbors all liked him and often supported his business. To take his brother's place at school, Cheng Qingwu left the restaurant in a neighbor's care, packed his bags, and headed into the city. On his first day registering at the school, unfamiliar with the navigation system, he mistook room number 606 for 909 and wandered into the red zone. 2. A monster lived in the red zone. He was an undefeated legend of ancient times, the top student at the military academy, and the First Marshal, the Empire's most valued figure. He had a formidable physique and terrifying combat abilities. The marshal was an Alpha whose spirit form was a black dragon. Everyone knew that the Federation had matched the marshal with more than a dozen partners, but in the end, some were injured, some died, and others left. It was all because the marshal's spirit form often went berserk. No one could endure the devastating harm those rampages caused. He terrified the entire military academy, and everyone kept their distance. As a result, the marshal lived alone year-round, and his residence was known as the "red zone." No one dared enter. 3. Cheng Qingwu knew nothing about this and entered the red zone on his very first day. He marveled at how spacious the dormitory was, and that it even came with a huge lake. At the lake, he saw his new roommate. Uh... why wasn't he wearing any clothes?! A muscular, athletic young man surged ashore from the wide, dark water. Two sharp, dripping-wet dragon horns protruded from his head, and he held a flapping live fish in his mouth. As he climbed out, the man gave Cheng Qingwu a glance from above. His eyes were cold as frost-edged blades. He looked like an untamed beast, full of raw wildness. The immense pressure made Cheng Qingwu so scared that his cat ears and tail appeared on the spot. He shyly turned his back, thinking that men in the big city were really open-minded, swimming naked outdoors whenever they pleased. Once the man had put on his military uniform, Cheng Qingwu went over with a bright smile. "Hey, classmate, can I take that fish? It's much better braised or steamed than eaten raw." 4. After that, Cheng Qingwu often cooked for his roommate in his free time. His roommate was aloof and taciturn, always exuding a sinister, terrifying aura. But after spending more time together, Cheng Qingwu decided he was just introverted and secretly flirtatious. Cheng Qingwu loved it when his roommate silently ate everything he cooked, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there any more?" He was so cute! The poor guy must never have had a proper hot meal growing up. Cheng Qingwu had also noticed that nobody at the military academy was willing to talk to his roommate. He wondered if they were deliberately ostracizing him. Sigh, his life must have been so hard. Cheng Qingwu grew fond of his roommate and took even better care of him, unaware that his roommate was looking at him with increasingly obsessive and strange eyes. 5. Cheng Qingwu didn't find out until a month later that he'd moved into the wrong dorm, and that his roommate wasn't an ordinary person. Everyone was astonished that he was still alive, and they eagerly asked him in private what he thought of the marshal. Cheng Qingwu thought the marshal was pretty nice. He helped him with his homework, taught him to pilot a mech hand over hand, and was extremely competent... aside from occasionally snuggling and sucking on him at night. However, on the night Cheng Qingwu moved out of the dorm, the marshal blocked his way. His eyes were unfathomably deep, filled with undisguised possessiveness. "If you dare move out, I'll break your legs." Cheng Qingwu: "...!" He was too scared to disobey. 6. His younger brother finally recovered from his injuries. While the marshal was away, Cheng Qingwu quietly moved back to the countryside and let his brother return to the military academy. Cheng Qingwu was delighted to get back to running his little restaurant. Time could wash everything away. He believed the marshal would soon forget him. Little did he know that one day later, his brother would call him in the middle of the night, begging him to hurry back to Canglu Academy. The marshal had gone crazy looking for him, and his spirit form had suddenly gone berserk. If Cheng Qingwu didn't appear in front of him, he would level the entire Canglu Academy.
