[Sweet-talking, wealthy gong × short-tempered, thin-skinned shou]

[Two top students falling for each other] Sweet romance, both pure, 1v1, happy ending

[A sweet and cheerful story. Dive in with your eyes closed, then open them and enjoy!]

▲Character introductions:

Qi Suihan (gong): A suffocating mother, a father who died after cheating, endless studying, and a devoted, passionate him...

Gao He (shou): A girlish mother, a father who loves cooking, more public displays of affection than he can stomach, and a pampered him...

[What kind of sparks will fly between these two? Let's take a look at the blurb below!]

▲Blurb: (It's fine if you don't get it. Just go straight to the story~)

On the first day after students were divided into arts and science classes, Gao He was mistaken for a trash picker at the school gate by an annoying guy!

Gao He: I'm annoyed! I'm angry! Next time, I'm definitely teaching you a lesson!

On the second day after the class split, both of Gao He's best friends were singing the annoying guy's praises!

Gao He: Shut up. I'm speechless. Don't bring him up in front of me!

On the third day after the class split, Gao He and the annoying guy both turned out to be on the school basketball team!

Gao He: Ha. Him? I'm switching teams!

On the nth day after the class split...

Gao He: A secret crush? A confession? I'll make the first move!

Qi Suihan: Don't bother. You can't beat me to it.

Gao He: But I'm clearly the one who was going to confess first!

Qi Suihan: But I'm clearly the one who fell for you first.

The story begins with the threat, "Next time, for sure."

The story ends with the promise, "Next time, for sure."

*If you like someone, don't wait. The same goes for confessing.

*Don't worry about things that haven't happened yet, and don't fret about things that might never happen.

▲P.S.:

1. Both are pure, and each is the other's first love. No dating before adulthood; they get together only after they are grown.

2. The shou studies the arts, while the gong studies science. They attend the same high school but are in different classes.

3. The story focuses on everyday life and takes a gentle, slow-flowing approach. The language is quite plain, so please be patient with me, dear readers (hands clasped, bowing in thanks).

The writing is witty and humorous, with a light and cheerful tone. It's a genuine, sweet slice-of-life story about youth and school!

Please add my upcoming school story, "Huai He Falls Asleep," to your collection!

[A practical, determined gong who digs a deep pit one shovelful at a time × a king of empty boasts who falls into it step by step]

Huai Xiuheng: Objection. I'm not digging a pit. I'm just pursuing the person I like.

Diao Hemian: Objection. I'm not that stupid. I'm just giving him a chance to show off.

[1982 Longjing tea gong vs freshly brewed effervescent-tablet shou] (No objections allowed!)

▲Gong's perspective:

Huai Xiuheng, a third-year student who had finally made it to the home stretch, was dragged into an excited human-tossing event at the pledge rally.

He was lucky enough to get hit in the right hand by a falling student.

A fracture in his right wrist caused him to miss that year's college entrance exam.

Back to square one, Huai Xiuheng was forced to transfer to the school next door and start his final year of high school all over again...

Luckily, misfortune brought good fortune: fate arranged for him to reunite with his childhood friend, lost to him for many years.

On the first day of school, Diao Hemian dragged his index finger across the desk, creating a clear boundary line.

"Don't cross it, and don't disturb me while I'm sleeping." After saying this, Diao Hemian didn't even look at him before laying his head down on the desk.

An emperor's boundary line only keeps out gentlemen, not scoundrels.

Huai Xiuheng lowered his eyes. Good thing he wasn't the former.

They hadn't seen each other in over a decade, but Diao Hemian was still just as cocky, even more so than when they were kids.

Huai Xiuheng: It's fine. I like cocky guys.

Diao Hemian: Bro, are you sick or something?

▲Shou's perspective:

The "fake delinquent" who always looked down his nose at people eagerly took on one unfamiliar task after another, all because of one sincere compliment after another.

By the time Diao Hemian belatedly caught on, "looking after Huai Xiuheng in every way" had already become second nature to him...

Diao Hemian had always thought his "underling" was timid and weak, and couldn't even defend himself against thugs from outside school.

Until he saw the certificate showing that the other guy had earned a third-degree taekwondo black belt at fourteen...

Diao Hemian: Boyfriend, I need an explanation.

#Tsundere, sly and scheming gong × straightforward, cool, and cocky shou

*"Huai Xiuheng, I won't let anyone bully you, not even me!"

"Mm, you can't. But my boyfriend, A-Yuan, can."

*My heart's thundering. Can I sleep with you tonight?
