After My Childhood Friend and Archrival Set His Sights on Me

Tsundere, short-tempered school bully bottom VS scheming, aloof top student top When Zhu Yu saw the new transfer student in his senior year, he thought he was dreaming and wished he could wake up and go back to sleep. The transfer student was none other than Zhu Yu's childhood friend and archenemy. They'd been pulling each other's hair and scratching each other's faces since kindergarten, until their parents sent him to school in another province. Zhu Yu had expected to fight Shen Lian to the death, just like they did when they were kids. Instead, things took a terrifying turn. It was as if Shen Lian had been possessed. Every day, he either brought Zhu Yu breakfast or carried his schoolbag. He even fought people on his behalf, patiently tutored him, and sneakily held his hand during the school gala. Zhu Yu marveled, "The sun must be rising in the west. The Shen family graves must be giving off auspicious smoke." He was thinking of patting Shen Lian on the head and praising him when they got home that night, but then his little sidekick suddenly said, "Yu-ge, do you think the top student might be into you?" Zhu Yu's every hair stood on end. "Like me, my ass! Why would a perfectly normal grown man be into me?" His friends chorused, "But if he isn't into you, why is he so nice to you?" Zhu Yu blurted out, "If he isn't nice to me, who would he be nice to?" Those guys? Yeah, right. Everyone shouted, "We're shipping it!" Zhu Yu rolled his eyes, but when he thought about it carefully, something really did seem off... Wait, could Shen Lian really like him? What should he do? Should he respond? Reject him or say yes? If he rejected Shen Lian, what if Shen Lian couldn't take it? But agreeing... well, it didn't seem like such a bad idea. Zhu Yu prepared himself for every possibility and waited for Shen Lian to confess. He never got a confession. Instead, he accidentally overheard Shen Lian telling someone he wasn't into guys. Fine. He wasn't into guys? Well, Zhu Yu didn't care about him either. The more Zhu Yu thought about it, the angrier he got. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he went to demand an explanation. Instead, they ended up spending a wild night together. Once he came to his senses, Zhu Yu realized he was in serious trouble and ran off. He'd hoped to get away with it, but Shen Lian followed him to B University before long. Seriously, why was this guy like a ghost that wouldn't leave him alone? Whatever. He could just ignore him! Zhu Yu had planned to stay out of Shen Lian's life forever, but fate had other ideas. Shen Lian cornered him in a bar. "How long are you going to keep running?"

Please add it to your library~ Blurb: On the first day of university, Jiang Xiuting learned that one of his roommates was Bo Ji and immediately wanted to die. Jiang Xiuting had grown up wanting for nothing, cherished by his parents and especially cared for by his friends because he'd always been sickly. Bo Ji, on the other hand, had a terrible reputation. In high school, Jiang Xiuting had been forced to hear plenty of his "glorious deeds": getting into brawls or being expelled for grabbing a teacher by the throat. In short, Jiang Xiuting was terrified of Bo Ji. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting beaten up, of accidentally offending Bo Ji and getting beaten up, and especially of Bo Ji beating him up on a whim. Jiang Xiuting had heard that Bo Ji seemed to hate rich people, and his family happened to have a bit of money. So after starting school, Jiang Xiuting was careful at every turn, cautiously keeping to the rule of never provoking Bo Ji. But once the semester officially began, Jiang Xiuting started to feel that something was off. Bo Ji did have a bad temper and didn't smile much. He was always scowling, and on the first day of school, he'd even gotten into a fight with a roommate and kicked in their dorm room door. But he seemed to treat Jiang Xiuting differently. After Jiang Xiuting accidentally discovered Bo Ji's secret, Bo Ji only touched his lips with a fingertip to tell him to keep it quiet, then smiled and walked away. When Jiang Xiuting fell ill with a fever and fainted, Bo Ji took him to the infirmary. When the other roommates went home and Jiang Xiuting was scared to be alone in the dorm, Bo Ji made sure to return before curfew. When students from another department bullied Jiang Xiuting at the university sports meet, Bo Ji stood up for him. To show his gratitude, Jiang Xiuting worked up the courage to ask, "Bo Ji, could I add you on WeChat? We're roommates, so it's inconvenient not having each other's contact information." Wearing headphones, Bo Ji sat expressionlessly on the stool opposite Jiang Xiuting and showed no sign of responding. Just as Jiang Xiuting was about to give up, Bo Ji said: "I only give my WeChat to my future wife. Are you adding me because you want to be my wife?" Jiang Xiuting: "..." Fine, he didn't want to add him. What a lousy excuse to fool a child. Later, Bo Ji gradually closed in on him, forcibly used Jiang Xiuting's phone to add himself on WeChat, then smugly pointed to the two big, unmistakable characters in his contact name and said: "Now that you've added me on WeChat, you're my wife. No taking it back." Jiang Xiuting looked helpless. "Bo, don't be like this..." Hadn't they said he was short-tempered and impossible to deal with? Could the shameless guy in front of him have been possessed by someone else? Theme: Study hard and keep improving every day.
