Blurb:

After failing the imperial exams, Yu Ziyuan returns to his hometown to teach. During the Flower Festival, a boy falls into the water. Forgetting for a moment that he can't swim, Yu Ziyuan jumps in after him.

Jin Hang is halfway through trying to drown himself when he notices someone drowning beside him.

Jin Hang: "..."

Not long afterward, Jin Hang leaves. Yu Ziyuan carries on with his life until Jin Hang returns and catches him "in bed with another man."

Unable to explain himself, Yu Ziyuan can only let Jin Hang misunderstand. When they part again, Jin Hang pressures him into promising to wait faithfully for his return. Who would have guessed that, upon coming back, Yu Ziyuan would hear that Jin Hang was planning to take a concubine?

With red-rimmed eyes, Jin Hang steals the groom from his bride on their wedding night.

Seeing how upset he is, Yu Ziyuan can't bear to leave him alone, so he comforts him all night.

Jin Hang is as obedient as can be the night before, and twice as rebellious the next day.

Yu Ziyuan wakes up in a carriage. As soon as he gets out, Jin Hang blocks his way back inside. Clearly the one who did something wrong, he still looks pitiful as he says, "Teacher, please give in to me."

[Note]

A fake marriage. Both are virgins.

Upcoming novel next door: He's Actually a Pretty Good Guy

[Starts October 8! Please add it to your favorites!]

Ji Shanjian has a mute roommate. He's not really mute, but he might as well be.

For some reason, this roommate is very good to him.

Whenever he goes out to buy food, he always brings some back for Ji Shanjian.

But when he brings food to Ji Shanjian, he places it on his desk with a blank expression and refuses to take any money.

Ji Shanjian feels awkward, so his roommate adds, "It's leftovers."

With that expression, he almost makes it believable.

From then on, whenever he gives Ji Shanjian something, he always claims it's something he didn't want.

One day, he firmly insists that Ji Shanjian throw away his shoes, which have a hole in them.

Someone sees this and starts a rumor that the roommate is bullying him.

Ji Shanjian can't explain himself, and no one believes him.

After the shoes are thrown away, his roommate takes him to buy a new pair!

His roommate really is a good guy!

Xi Huanyang realizes his roommate is very poor.

He wants to be friends with him, but doesn't know how to talk to people, so he comes up with a plan.

He'll win him over with money.

So he secretly starts feeding his roommate things. His roommate says he doesn't want them, but his eyes light up.

He focuses on feeding him, and before long, ends up giving himself away too.

Little scene

Xi Huanyang awkwardly brings warmth to his roommate on a daily basis.

Ji Shanjian rubs his hands together, secretly delighted: "He's actually a pretty good guy."

Classmate: "Go tell the counselor! Xi Huanyang is bullying Ji Shanjian again!"

The counselor rushes over, only to find the two of them flirting.

So that day, the counselor marches off with a dark expression, the two supposedly feuding students behind him, and a line of classmates bringing up the rear.

They're headed to the counselor's office.

Ji Shanjian asks quietly, "Did you do something bad?"

Xi Huanyang shakes his head. Ji Shanjian looks close to tears. "Then it must have been me."

Xi Huanyang takes his hand and silently comforts him.

The counselor at the front suddenly turns around. "You two! Separate!"
