But half a month later, Zhou You transferred schools, and the handsome guy turned out to be his new deskmate and roommate.

A stye had suddenly appeared, so he could only see out of one eye. He was wearing a hat, and nearly dropped his guitar as he got out of the car. Fortunately, the boss came out to greet him and steadied him just in time. Before they could exchange pleasantries, a figure burst out of the company entrance, shouting as he ran toward them. "This isn't fair! Why bring someone in right before our debut?!" Si Jiajia raised his eyes, but his gaze fell on Qi Lingyi, who was following behind. A strong hand was wrapped around the newcomer's waist. Veins, muscle, the shape of his bones. A proper, handsome face and a body overflowing with testosterone... He still gave off straight-guy vibes, playing the part of a reliable, well-behaved sweetheart. Ridiculous. You'd think he'd be tired of pretending after all these years. - After debuting, he kept to himself. He never smiled in group variety shows, didn't interact in promotional content, and barely said a word on programs. Yet as the group's main vocalist and visual, he was the one who wrote and composed the title track on their first album. The bullying within the group was obvious, and his solo fans were furious, constantly calling on the company to let him leave the group. The comments were a disaster. At a group meeting, the manager had no choice but to call him out and tell him to get along with everyone. "You have to act like you're part of the group, got it?" Si Jiajia glanced at the rankings for the group's CP fan pages on the meeting-room screen. Five members, plus the unrequited favorite who hadn't debuted, made seventeen pairings in all. Not one included him. "I'll act, but on one condition..." Under the gaze of his unfamiliar bandmates, he raised his chin and gave Qi Lingyi a challenging look. "Change Qi-ge's official pairing to me." - Privileged group bully with a tsundere streak and a dark side x the group's mother hen, a dominant straight guy - After the meeting ended and the manager left, Bandmate No. 1 indignantly spoke up for justice: "Why do you have to break up Qi-ge's CP?" The person in question was swiping through his phone. The search results showed that Qi Lingyi had two CPs, both wildly popular. Their fans had been fighting since their trainee days and were still arguing over which pairing was official. Si Jiajia couldn't hide his delighted grin. He stood up, snatched the water from Qi Lingyi's hand, and took a sip. "I don't know. Ask him. He's the one who sneaks over and kisses me while I'm asleep in the middle of the night." - Long-planned scheme / So what if he's the visual? The visual can have a secret crush too. Theme: May you always move forward fearlessly, toward a brilliant future. **Upcoming story: An Unexpected Journey Back [Reborn]** Chichuan was a top student who consistently ranked near the top of the school rankings. He was aloof and proud, seemingly beyond anyone's reach. Nobody dared get close to him. Behind his back, people said he must be the hardest person in the world to win over. Pei Zhi: Really? I don't believe it. Chichuan was handsome and smart, and seeing him made Pei Zhi happy. He couldn't help moving closer. Pei Zhi: "Hi, can we be friends?" Aloof genius: "Sure. Sign up for three years first." Other students: The genius is so cold! He's impossible to win over! Pei Zhi: Are we talking about the same person? Is he really that hard to get? I just crook a finger and he comes running. - A boy's feelings surged like a flood, and waking from the dream hurt just as much. Ten years after they parted, Pei Zhi never imagined he'd meet Chichuan again. Until someone dragged him to a class reunion, and Chichuan pulled him into his arms in the noisy private room. Ten years had passed, and Chichuan was still dazzling. Pei Zhi, meanwhile, was still a mess. Just as he had been when he left without a word ten years ago. But Chichuan still liked sticking close behind him. All it took was one surreptitious glance from Pei Zhi, and Chichuan would follow like a hooked fish. Pei Zhi stared at the thick medical records and thought he should be decisive and reject him once and for all. But his mouth said: No, no, no! His body said: He's the one dragging me along! His heart said: I can't bring myself to do it! - Later, Pei Zhi learned that Chichuan had chased a silhouette from Jingxi to Zhenbei through wind and snow, all for the chance to see him one more time. Pei Zhi asked Chichuan, "How did you know that silhouette was me?" Chichuan squeezed his hand. "It's my superpower." I can always find you in a crowd with just one glance. PS: 1.

An Unexpected Journey Back [Reborn] - Blurb: "Keep heading west, past the twilight line, past the date line, and return to the day we first met." Physical prodigy Sheng Yuan became Qing University’s youngest professor at twenty-seven. He never expected that one day a student would stump him in class with a theory he himself had proposed. The student asked, "A lot of people say the Fourth-Dimensional Space Theory you've devoted yourself to researching is nonsense. If it really exists, what would you most want to do if you fell into the fourth dimension?" Sheng Yuan had thought about this countless times. If he accidentally fell into the fourth dimension, he would hold tightly to Lu Qingxu's hand on that day. * In high school, Lu Qingxu always had bruises on his face. He sat alone in a corner with a frighteningly gloomy expression and never interacted with anyone. Nobody at No. 1 High School dared mess with him. They went out of their way to avoid him. But Sheng Yuan had seen Lu Qingxu gently stroke a stray cat as it ate by the flowerbed, his expression kind and a smile on his lips. He had also seen Lu Qingxu, face red, confess his feelings and hand over a love letter with trembling hands, then run away awkwardly, too shy to know what to do with his arms and legs. When news spread of Lu Qingxu's death, everyone was relieved they wouldn't have to see that jinx again. Only Sheng Yuan lay awake at night, quietly crying as he stared at the unfinished text message. * An accident occurred during an experiment, and Sheng Yuan found himself back on the afternoon Lu Qingxu had confessed to him. Ignoring his teacher's scolding and his classmates' astonished looks, he ran out of class. When he saw the boy from his memories in front of the school flowerbed, he slowed his steps. Fighting back his emotions, he forced a smile and called to Lu Qingxu, "Lu Qingxu, do you like me?" When Lu Qingxu turned and saw Sheng Yuan, his face immediately went red. He was so nervous he didn't know what to do, and eventually ran away. [Cool uke who starts flirting without a second thought x sunny seme who blushes whenever he's flirted with] PS: 1.
