After Hooking the Aloof Top Student

*Pre-release: Please add "The Occasional Return [Reborn]" to your favorites. Blurb below. If you're interested, please save it! Chi Chuan is a top student who consistently dominates the upper ranks of the school leaderboard. Cool and aloof, he seems utterly out of reach. No one dares get close to him. Behind his back, people say Chi Chuan must be the hardest person in the world to win over. Pei Zhi: Really? I don't believe it. Chi Chuan is handsome and clever. Pei Zhi is happy whenever he sees him and can't help getting closer. Pei Zhi: "Hi, can we be friends?" The aloof top student: "Sure. Start by booking me for three years." Other students: The top student is so cold! He's impossible to win over! Pei Zhi: Are we talking about the same person? Is he really that hard? I just crook a finger and he comes running. - A young man's feelings surged like a tide, and waking from the dream was just as heartbreaking. Ten years after they parted, Pei Zhi never thought he would run into Chi Chuan again. That is, until someone dragged him to a class reunion, where Chi Chuan pulled him into his arms in the middle of a noisy private room. Ten years had passed, and Chi Chuan was as dazzling as ever. Pei Zhi, meanwhile, was still just as much of a mess. Just as he had been when he left without a word ten years ago. Yet Chi Chuan still only wanted to stick close behind him. All it took was one surreptitious glance from Pei Zhi to hook him right back in. Staring at the thick medical records, Pei Zhi thought he ought to be decisive and reject him outright. But his mouth: Reject him, reject him, reject him! But his body: He's the one dragging me along! But his heart: I just can't be that cruel! - Later, Pei Zhi learned that Chi Chuan had braved wind and snow, chasing a figure all the way from Jingxi to Zhenbei, all for the chance to see him one more time. Pei Zhi asked Chi Chuan, "How did you know that figure was me?" Chi Chuan held his hand tightly. "It's my superpower." I'll always be able to find you in a crowd at a single glance. P.S.: 1. A sharp-tongued but soft-hearted bottom (Pei Zhi) x a gentle, loyal top (Chi Chuan) 2. Mutual unrequited love, with both of them hopelessly in love. 3. The bottom has a psychological disorder and a deeply divided personality. The top will love him back into his old self later on. 4. They reunite at the beginning, with the story told in flashbacks. A slow-paced, everyday-life story about healing, bittersweet romance, and plenty of memories. N = present, P = past. Blurb for "The Occasional Return [Reborn]": "Keep heading west, cross the twilight line, cross the date line, and return to the day we first met." Sheng Yuan, a physics prodigy, became Qing University’s youngest professor at twenty-seven. He never expected that one day, a student and a theory he himself had proposed would leave him stumped in the middle of class. The student asked, "Many people say that the fourth-dimensional space theory you've devoted yourself to researching is nothing but nonsense, Professor Sheng. If it really exists, what would you most want to do after falling into the fourth dimension?" Sheng Yuan had thought about this question countless times. If he ever fell into the fourth dimension by chance, he would make sure to hold Lu Qingxu's hand tightly that day. * In high school, Lu Qingxu always had bruises on his face. He sat alone in a corner, his expression frighteningly gloomy, and never associated with anyone. No one at No. 1 High School dared to provoke him. Everyone took a detour when they saw him. But Sheng Yuan had seen Lu Qingxu crouch by the flower bed, gently stroking a stray cat as it ate, his expression mild and a smile on his lips. He had also seen Lu Qingxu's face turn scarlet as he confessed his feelings, his hand trembling as he offered a love letter. In the end, he fled in embarrassment, moving his arms and legs in awkward unison. When news of Lu Qingxu's death spread, everyone was relieved they would never have to see that jinx again. Only Sheng Yuan lay awake at night, quietly crying as he stared at the unfinished text message. * An accident during an experiment sent Sheng Yuan back to the afternoon when Lu Qingxu confessed to him. Ignoring his teacher's scolding and his classmates' astonished looks, he ran out of class. When he saw the figure of the boy from his memories in front of the flower bed, he slowed his steps. Fighting back his emotions, he forced a smile and called to Lu Qingxu, "Lu Qingxu, do you like me?" When Lu Qingxu turned and saw Sheng Yuan, his face immediately flushed red. He was so nervous he didn't know what to do, and in the end he fled in embarrassment.
