After Losing His Memory, the Class Hunk Keeps Thinking I'm Pursuing Him

[A cringeworthy old post. Babies, maybe skip this one for now] 1. Ji Qingli from Jiang University’s History Department was gentle and refined, with skin as smooth as jade. He looked like a work of art fallen from the heavens, and caused a sensation across campus on the day he arrived. Because he stood out so much, he and Jiang University’s heartthrob, Tan Ye, were constantly pushed into various events. After a while, people couldn’t help comparing them. Tan Ye stood six foot two, with a broad, muscular back and sleek lines. Anyone who saw him would feel their blood race and marvel at all that walking testosterone. Reading the comments online about the two of them, Tan Ye gave a quiet snort and replied with an alt account: “The photography’s terrible. They don’t look like they’re at each other’s throats at all.” Then he posted a photo from his private collection. In it, the two of them were truly facing each other, passing the host’s script between them. One had his head lowered, the corners of his mouth unusually turned up. The other gazed at him slightly from below, eyes shining. The internet was in an uproar: What’s with all this palpable chemistry? This ship has sailed! I’m shipping them! The person above has it right! Tan Ye: Closed his laptop, satisfied. 2. On the basketball court. Tan Ye suddenly dashed to the sideline and took a flying ball for Ji Qingli! It struck him squarely on the back of the head, and Tan Ye crumpled to the ground. When he woke up again, Tan Ye saw Ji Qingli and turned bright red. He yanked the blanket back over himself, covering his excitement underneath. “W-why are you in my bed?!” “I haven’t said yes to you yet!” Ji Qingli: ? The others who had come to visit: ? Because of the accident, Tan Ye not only lost some of his memories, but his personality changed completely, all where Ji Qingli was concerned. Ji Qingli went to the same cafeteria as him to get lunch. Tan Ye, who had crossed half the campus to get there, put on an exaggeratedly surprised expression and bashfully joined Ji Qingli’s line. He muttered to his roommate, “Tsk, he really does follow me everywhere.” His roommate: “...” Ji Qingli came to their class to proctor an exam at a teacher’s request. Tan Ye had rushed to sit in the front row early, filled Ji Qingli’s thermos with hot water, then propped his chin on his hand and gazed at him. “Classmate Ji, you’re willing to take on any miserable job just to see me.” Ji Qingli looked helpless. It’s not miserable, and I’m getting paid. Ji Qingli had just finished running a thousand meters. He casually lifted the hem of his shirt to wipe away his sweat, revealing his slender, pale waist. Tan Ye snapped pictures of him furiously, his jaw aching from clenching his teeth. “He’s willing to use his looks to get my attention.” Then he rushed onto the track and covered Ji Qingli up from head to toe. Ji Qingli took part in an off-campus speech contest. After it ended, his longtime rival unexpectedly confessed to him in front of everyone. Standing together onstage, the two of them looked made for each other. Just as Ji Qingli was about to speak, Tan Ye appeared out of nowhere and pulled him into his arms, sounding a little aggrieved. “Be good. I’ve already said yes to you, so don’t try to make me jealous with someone else.” Everyone: Who’s pursuing whom here, exactly? - Ji Qingli * Tan Ye A cool, gentle voice enthusiast who is inexplicably pursued, the receiver * A devoted, patient, tsundere top who insists on turning the tables Reading guide: (1) No angst in the romance. The logic is good-for-nothing, but the story is warm and healing, with both leads growing together. (2) Both are each other’s first and only love. The top has a very strong one-sided crush and has secretly loved the receiver for years. (3) The receiver’s name has three syllables. He is a serious bass-voice enthusiast and only falls for the top’s voice. (4) Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting. - Also featuring a forthcoming novel: The Stray Dog I Took In Became Obsessed with Me [Updated daily. I’ll take a day off if something comes up.] 1. Jiang Yuchen’s best friend was sent to prison. Before going in, he asked Jiang Yuchen to do two things for him. First, sell his house. Second, take care of his younger brother, Luo Zhao. Kids are hard to raise these days. Jiang Yuchen had little experience, and his own company was only just getting started, but he still took the request to heart. The first time they met, the other boy had a backpack on and a suitcase in hand. He was even taller than Jiang Yuchen. He was covered in injuries, big and small, and looked as wretched as a stray dog. At first, Jiang Yuchen was like a doting father, looking after him in every detail and treating him even better than his own nephew. But he ended up managing the kid straight into a rebellious phase. After Jiang Yuchen went on his first blind date, the boy ran away from home. When Jiang Yuchen caught up with him, the boy said bluntly, “You’re not even my real brother. Why do you think you can control me like this?” Fine. So I’m the only one making a fuss here, huh? Jiang Yuchen spread his hands. Whatever. I’m done caring. He washed his hands of the whole thing, but the other boy changed completely. He cooked during the day and kept watch at night. In winter, he helped Jiang Yuchen bathe and scrub his back. He even had to hold him while they slept. Jiang Yuchen increasingly felt that something was off. Until he found his long-missing black underwear under the boy’s pillow. So it wasn’t a rebellious phase. He’d just grown up crooked. His feelings were complicated. He’d planned to make things clear after the college entrance exams. But before he got the chance, a pair of arms wrapped tightly around his waist. The young man bared his long-hidden fangs, like thorns hidden among brambles: “Brother, are you only so nice to me because I look like Luo Bin?” 2. Luo Zhao had grown up with little affection from his family. When the police found him and said Luo Bin had gone to prison, he felt nothing. In his eyes, there was no one worth relying on except himself. People sometimes even deceive themselves, so how could they trust anyone else? Until he met that man. Jiang Yuchen was just like his name: a mountain and an island, but not an isolated one. He brought Luo Zhao home. He gave him food and clothes, and whatever else he wanted. He’d rather tighten his company’s budget than let Luo Zhao go without even the smallest thing. In the past, Luo Zhao had looked down most on people like him. Hypocrites and posers who valued useless bonds more than their own lives. But now, all he wanted was to hold this island tight and never let go. I was alone, and you gave me a home. So don’t take it back, and don’t let anyone else in. There’s only the two of us here. That’s enough. - Jiang Yuchen * Luo Zhao An easygoing, perceptive receiver who gets along with everyone * A reckless, possessive top who never changes once he’s set his heart on someone Reading guide: (1) The top is nine years younger. (2) The top acts without thinking of the consequences. If the receiver is involved, the top goes all in. (3) Both are each other’s first and only love. The top has a very strong one-sided crush and doesn’t realize it until he’s eighteen. (4) A down-to-earth sweet romance. I’ll focus on sweet stories for a hundred years. Theme: You’re never too old to learn.
