Stern young master seme x straightforward genius uke

1. After dying of illness, Shi Jiu was reborn as a cannon-fodder character in a novel, only to be killed by the protagonist.

Shi Jiu: Help! I don't want to die young again. QAQ

Just as Shi Jiu was being cornered, he encountered Shen Qin, a paragon of excellence depicted in only a few lines in the book.

Shen Qin was the protagonist's half-brother and the heir to the wealthy Shen family of Yunzhou. At Yunzhou University, he was the face of the computer science department, had a lab of his own, and was admired by enough people to circle the campus several times.

He was stern and old-fashioned, and even the protagonist was afraid of him.

Amid the crowd, Shi Jiu lifted his pitiful eyes and asked softly, "Can you take me with you?"

Shen Qin gazed at Shi Jiu in silence, then slowly held out his hand.

Later, Shi Jiu joined Shen Qin's lab, and the protagonist was soon sent abroad.

2. Shi Jiu had been dropped into a frail body. Having already died once, he was afraid of dying from illness again.

He urgently needed someone who could stay by his side.

"Senior, would you mind having one more family member?" Shi Jiu asked, standing before Shen Qin with some trepidation.

Shen Qin's expression remained cool as he silently watched him. After a long pause, he answered, "A year and a half from now."

You could at least reject me outright. Shi Jiu gave a sulky little, "Oh."

3. After graduating from university, the protagonist returned to the country and came looking for Shi Jiu again.

Shi Jiu snapped, "Get lost! Do I have to kiss your brother before you'll believe we're dating?"

Suddenly, a familiar cough came from behind him.

Shi Jiu: !

What do you do when the person you've been making things up about catches you red-handed?

Before Shi Jiu could think of a plan, warmth enveloped his hand. Shen Qin stood beside him, facing his younger brother.

Shi Jiu paused, then lifted his chin proudly at Shen Qin's younger brother. "Do you believe me now?"

Afterward, Shi Jiu thanked Shen Qin for helping him keep up the act.

Shen Qin pinned him against the wall and pressed a kiss to his lips. "I wasn't acting. Let's date."

Shi Jiu: 0.0?

Shen Qin explained softly, "The time we agreed on has arrived."

Theme: We'll walk side by side, facing the morning sun.
