I Heard My Nemesis's Thoughts

On the day Shen Zhijing came of age at eighteen, someone pushed him into a lake. When he woke up again,

he was lying in a hospital and could hear everyone's thoughts.

"Mind reading?"

After being discharged, Shen Zhijing returned to school and suddenly found that he could hear his nemesis's thoughts.

[Shen Zhijing has been discharged already.]

[I wonder how he's feeling.]

[Should I check on him... He doesn't look very well.]

Shen Zhijing eyed him suspiciously. "Jiang Lin, what are you doing, acting all mysterious?"

Jiang Lin looked utterly confused and said stiffly, "Congratulations on surviving. They say every cloud has a silver lining."

Shen Zhijing sneered coldly. "Sorry to disappoint you."

Shen Zhijing had a crush on a senior girl and thought she had a crush on Jiang Lin. The two boys were always tied for first in their grades and competed in everything. They were both enemies and rivals in love.

He didn't know that the senior girl was Jiang Lin's best friend, practically his brother. Their relationship was purely platonic.

One day, while Shen Zhijing was eating, he suddenly saw Jiang Lin sit down beside him.

Then his mind-reading started working again.

Jiang Lin: [I wonder if drowning has any aftereffects. He doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. Did he come back to school before he recovered? Should I buy him some medicine... I wonder if his head still hurts after he hit it. Sigh.]

Shen Zhijing jerked his head up.

Jiang Lin kept a cold expression. "Why are you looking at me? Eat your food."

Shen Zhijing: "What the hell, are you a master of changing faces?"

One day, Jiang Lin returned to the dorm and saw Shen Zhijing lying on his bed. Shen Zhijing deliberately said, "Sorry, I accidentally spilled a cup of water on my sheets. Can I borrow your bed for a nap?"

Jiang Lin's expression turned complicated, but he still stubbornly asked, "Then where am I supposed to sleep?"

Shen Zhijing: "On the floor."

Jiang Lin sighed, found a chair, and sat down to read.

Shen Zhijing suddenly heard his thoughts again.

Jiang Lin: [He even took a shower before his nap today... He deliberately wanted to sleep in my bed, so he washed himself clean? He smells so good. I love this scent. Maybe next time I'll deliberately spill some water on his bed. Then he could sleep in mine every day...]

Shen Zhijing thought he must be imagining things.

Jiang Lin: [He definitely doesn't know that I deliberately pick fights with him so I can see him every day... Since he slept in my bed, it should smell like him now, right? I'll stop washing the sheets for a while.]

Shen Zhijing: "Holy shit!! Jiang Lin! Are you sick?"

One-on-one romance, both of them faithful, both each other's first love.
