The School Rules Don't Say I Can't Pursue My Bro

After his parents divorce, Tang Yao lives with his mother in a small third-tier city. Their days are calm and uneventful.

Until, at seventeen, his father sends his illegitimate son, Cha Xun, to live with them.

This pampered young master has a face that could captivate anyone, but he's also got enough audacity to bring the sky crashing down.

The day they first meet.

Cha Xun is dressed in expensive casual clothes. His loose-fitting outfit shows off his tall, straight figure. He leans one arm against the doorframe, radiating a shameless, roguish air. His towering figure almost completely blocks Tang Yao from view.

"You're my older brother? You're ugly as hell." He lazily lifts his eyelids, looks Tang Yao up and down, and spits out an insult that makes him want to punch him.

Tang Yao: "...!?"

He is, after all, in the top three of the Handsome Guys ranking at No. 8 High School.

Tang Yao decides Cha Xun is a blind idiot and shuts the door in his face.

Their unpleasant first meeting plants the seeds of hostility between them.

From then on, all they do is trade barbs, and Cha Xun never wins.

One time, a friend calls Cha Xun and asks where the hell he's disappeared to and how things are going.

Lying on the sofa, Cha Xun deliberately answers in a smug voice right in front of Tang Yao. "The countryside. Not bad. I've got a male nanny taking care of me." He puts extra emphasis on the words "male nanny."

Ever since Cha Xun moved in, Tang Yao has taken care of all his meals.

Hearing the cutting remark, Tang Yao doesn't get angry. He just smiles faintly, then says something that leaves Cha Xun so mad he can't answer.

Cha Xun has never met anyone who can infuriate him as precisely as Tang Yao. Yet amid that all-consuming irritation, Cha Xun discovers a kind of fun he's never experienced before.

*

That day is the most helpless and bleak day of Tang Yao's life. His mother is sick and needs money urgently, so Tang Yao tries to sell their house. Instead, he's tricked into going to a hotel and drugged.

Tang Yao thinks there's no way out and gives up hope. Then the hotel room door is suddenly kicked open. It's Cha Xun.

But a month ago, Cha Xun said some inexplicable things to him and left without a word. Tang Yao only found out from their classmates that he had gone abroad to study.

Why has he suddenly come back now?

Tang Yao has never seen Cha Xun so frantic or so furious. He pins the other person to the floor and nearly beats him to death.

Even more unexpected, the next day Cha Xun gently slips a paternity test report into his hand, proving they aren't related by blood. Then, with great care, he confesses:

"Tang Yao, can I love you?"

*1v1, younger top, both physically and emotionally pure, same-age couple who dote on each other beyond measure, one month age difference

*The top and bottom are not related by blood. It's purely a misunderstanding caused by missing information.

*Top: The only son of a powerful businesswoman, a deeply devoted puppy-like boyfriend with a strong sense of responsibility. He holds the bottom to a universe-sized double standard.

*The relationship between the top's mother and the bottom's father involves spoilers, so I won't go into it here.

The next story I'll write is "Paradox Star"

By the time Xia Ye meets Lin Shu, he has already lived alone on Paradox Star for three hundred million years.

He is a humanoid life-form accidentally created by dark matter. He is extraordinarily beautiful, yet wrapped in the ugliest of shells.

On Paradox Star, light comes from beneath the ground, and darkness comes from the sky. All life lives and dies with the flickering of the underground light. Xia Ye is the only exception.

Before long, the human military force that has come to the planet to collect biological samples discovers that Xia Ye is unusual. A lieutenant colonel in the force mistakes him for a monster and hunts him down.

Colonel Lin Shu saves him.

But then takes him back to the human base for scientific study.

*

Xia Ye can't understand human language. All he sees is a different group of humans crowding around him every day, pointing and talking.

The colonel who brought him here seems afraid he'll starve to death. Every day, he brings Xia Ye his favorite food and sometimes talks to him.

As time passes, Xia Ye begins to understand a little human language and learns that the colonel is called Lin Shu.

Xia Ye commits this human's name to memory.

After being alone for so long, Xia Ye gradually gets used to being around humans and wants to stay at the base.

Just then, the base scientists identify Xia Ye's life-form. To study him more deeply, they decide to cut open his shell and dissect his true body while Lin Shu, who has forbidden violent research, is away.

Xia Ye has tried many times to shed this shell, but has never been able to.

If humans can cut it open for him, that's even better. But he might die in the process.

*

The attempt to cut open the shell fails. Lin Shu reluctantly sends Xia Ye back to the forest, where he goes on living alone, wrapped in that ugly shell as before.

Until one day, Xia Ye saves a group of humans under attack from native creatures. One of them turns out to be the colonel who taught him human language.

After a long separation, their eyes meet.

At that glance, Xia Ye's brow suddenly begins to crack.

Then a strange pink flower quickly blooms over Xia Ye's heart, and its intoxicating fragrance spreads across the entire planet in an instant.

Has that shell finally shed?!

Based on his own life cycle, Xia Ye knows he will bloom twice in his life:

Once, when his heart stirs, he blooms a pink flower.

Once, when he dies, he blooms a white flower.

When he gazes into the eyes of the person he loves and that person returns his feelings, he blooms a pink flower. So the colonel feels the same way about him...

Xia Ye stands in front of the colonel with nothing to cover him. "You have to take responsibility."

The colonel: "...I didn't touch you."

One look is all it takes to pass on an entire civilization.
