A Guide to Dealing with Your Archrival Ex Coming Back from the Dead

Blurb:

In the family housing area of Huashen Hospital in Lanjiang City, one name is constantly ringing in Xie Xingtang's ears.

That person is the son of his father's first love, the moonlight in his heart, and comes with a list of titles:

Chinese-German mixed heritage, excellent grades and conduct, recommended for admission to a key high school after graduating from junior high, and the top scorer in the city on the college entrance exam, accepted by Lanjiang University, one of the country's top two.

Due to a series of twists and coincidences, Xie Xingtang had never met him.

That is, until the start of freshman year, when a mixed-race heartthrob with broad shoulders and long legs moved into his dorm room.

His first meeting with Qi Xin was not a pleasant one.

With a face that got him asked for his WeChat eighteen times whenever he went out, the guy was aloof, proud, and hated noise. The first thing he said to Xie Xingtang was, "Are you a monkey?"

The second jab followed right away:

"If you've got too much energy, I suggest you go downstairs and log a thousand meters for the campus fitness run."

Xie Xingtang stuck his arm out of bed and responded with a middle finger.

Rivals making peace was already surprising enough, but Xie Xingtang never expected to find that there was always a higher mountain to climb:

It turned out his rival's mouth... had its own charms when they kissed, too.

Sadly, they weren't together for long.

After both their parents caught them in the act, Qi Xin was the first to break up with him.

Six years apart, and Qi Xin was now far away in a foreign country.

Later, there were rumors that Qi Xin had died in an accident overseas. Xie Xingtang never forgot the grudge of being dumped back then. He said the guy had it coming, but in truth, he sincerely burned incense for him for six years.

So when his mother nagged and cajoled him into going on a blind date, and he spotted an all-too-familiar figure at the restaurant they had agreed on, he briefly thought he had developed age-related farsightedness in his youth.

His second thought was: How the hell did this idiot come back from the dead??

The man sat by the window. His gaze swept over Xie Xingtang's reddened eyes, and he frowned. "Why are your eyes so red?"

Xie Xingtang's throat tightened. He clenched his palm.

A moment later, his jaw tensed. "Believe it or not... not only are my eyes red, my fists are ready to fly, too."
