Why Is My Archrival Like This?

Pretty, adorable little yellow flower x Childhood friend who unconditionally goes along with everything she wants

Childhood friends | Instinctive attraction | Clingy and sweet

Graduate school was stressful, so Wen Jing took the advice of an online friend and bought a few toys online to help her unwind.

The package she hadn't managed to pick up by chance ended up in the hands of her childhood friend, archenemy, and ex-boyfriend, Zhou You.

To stop Zhou You from discovering her secret, Wen Jing did everything he said:

"Meet me in the woods after the study group. Kiss me."

"Wait for me at our usual spot. Give me a ten-minute hug."

"The door's open. Come right in."

From hugging to holding hands to kissing and then...

He got bolder and bolder, and his demands became more and more outrageous.

Aaaah! Damn you, Zhou You! One day, I'm going to "kill" you!

Of course, she could only "kill" him once she stopped being envious of his hands and lusting after his body, which he kept in shape despite his busy schedule.

Childhood friends | Sunny childhood friend P (Battle) K gloomy new arrival

Yun Xi [Cool, top student (girl)] x Jiang Qi [Talkative little ray of sunshine (boy)]

In her senior year of high school, Yun Xi finally got a new deskmate.

He was good-looking and did well in school. Though he didn't talk much, he was gentle with her, nothing like her sunny, lively childhood friend who loved to tease her.

Around that time, quite a few girls in class liked reading romance novels.

They said Yun Xi's deskmate was like the quiet, devoted male lead in a novel, while her childhood friend was like the devoted second male lead who loved someone he couldn't have.

They asked Yun Xi, "If you had to choose, which one would you pick?"

Yun Xi smiled, thinking it was childish, and said nothing.

But who could have guessed that one day even her quiet deskmate would ask her that question, with an unmistakable note of anticipation in his eyes?

Yun Xi found it very amusing.

After laughing, she looked coldly at her hopeful deskmate:

"I've known him since we were in the womb, and the longest we've been apart from childhood until now was less than ten days. So where do you get the confidence to think I'd choose you?"

-

On the other side of the wall, Jiang Qi had heard the boy in class ask his question, his voice full of anticipation. Three people had been unable to hold him back as he nearly rushed in to punch the guy. But as soon as the unhurried female voice finished speaking, he calmed right down.

Then he pretended to be calm and straightened his clothes. His face a little red, he grinned smugly at the people beside him:

"Well, she actually understated it. From the time we were in the womb until now, the longest we've ever been apart was less than seven days."
