The Dignified Mogul's Persona Crumbles

Xie Huaijin and Sheng Bolan had known each other for ten years and been married for three. They hadn't slept together, or even kissed.

The reason? A family-arranged marriage, with no love involved.

On their wedding anniversary, Xie Huaijin got into a car accident and went back to his senior year of high school. His brain had also gone haywire: he could hear what other people were thinking.

On the first day of school, his husband transferred in and was assigned the seat beside him.

Xie Huaijin glanced at him, then turned away.

Forget it. I'll pretend I don't know him. We aren't close anyway.

Sheng Bolan took out his textbook without even glancing at his deskmate, looking icily aloof.

"He's so pretty, and so fair. I'm about to get a nosebleed."

Xie Huaijin paused while putting in his earplugs. ???

On the second day as deskmates, Sheng Bolan stared straight ahead, his heart racing. "He just smiled at me. He must be trying to seduce me."

Xie Huaijin gave him a polite smile. ???

On the third day, Sheng Bolan showed up in class with two dark circles under his eyes. "Great, I've been seduced."

Xie Huaijin: !!! I haven't even done anything!

At the coming-of-age celebration, during the Sheng and Xie families' banquet,

Xie Huaijin was locked inside Sheng Bolan's bedroom.

The tall, slender young man backed Xie Huaijin into a corner. His movements were outrageously domineering, but his ears were red enough to drip blood.

"I want to kiss him. I want to kiss him so badly."

"We've been together for an hour. Can we kiss now?"

"Is kissing too soon if we just made it official?"

Xie Huaijin laughed at his deadpan muttering, put his arms around his neck, and gently breathed against his ear. "If you want to kiss me, then do it. What kind of man hesitates like that?"

The next instant, Sheng Bolan grabbed him by the neck and kissed him until he could hardly breathe.

Sheng Bolan's expression was icy as he pried open Xie Huaijin's tightly shut lips. His voice was low and hoarse. "Am I good enough to be your man?"
