A gentle artist bottom × a doctor top who seems aloof but only wants to cuddle with him Both are each other's first and only, emotionally and physically At seventeen, the most chaotic year of his life, Pei Shu fell for someone. His name was Lin Wennian. He always wore a gentle smile, had a close-knit group of friends around him, and seemed so kind to everyone. At twenty-eight, Pei Shu had decided to give up on love, but unexpectedly ran into Lin Wennian in a city over a thousand kilometers away. As luck would have it, Lin Wennian was sick, and as luck would have it, he became Pei Shu's patient. It was pouring rain that day. Unable to resist, Pei Shu approached him and offered him an umbrella, his manner restrained and polite. A work transfer had brought Lin Wennian to an unfamiliar city. The first kindness he received was an umbrella from a doctor. The day Lin Wennian returned the umbrella, Pei Shu, who always kept his boundaries, overheard his phone conversation and learned that he was looking for a place to rent. That evening, after days of hesitation, Lin Wennian spotted a new rental listing on a housing app. Dr. Pei's rental principles: First: Lin Wennian Second: Lin Wennian Third: Lin Wennian Their life as roommates was peaceful and uneventful, but the calm did not last long. Lin Wennian injured his arm in a fall, and his landlord, Pei Shu, took him to the hospital. As it happened, Pei Shu was also his attending physician. Later, when the caregiver he'd found suddenly had to quit, Lin Wennian was at his wit's end. Pei Shu came by for a routine checkup and said, “I can take care of you.” Lin Wennian thought Pei Shu was a good doctor. Gradually, he realized that Pei Shu seemed to be kind only to him. His own feelings began to change, too. He started to grow attached to Pei Shu, and began to wish they could keep going like this forever. Until one night, he kissed the corner of Pei Shu's lips. Bonus scenes: 1. One day, Pei Shu forgot to take off the hair tie Lin Wennian had lent him while making his rounds. Someone teased him, “Dr. Pei, are you seeing someone? Who is she?” Dr. Pei said nothing. The hair tie's owner, Lin Wennian, stood outside, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible. 2. One day, Lin Wennian discovered they had attended the same high school. Pei Shu seemed to have known all along. In fact, they had met a long time ago. “If you weren't here, I think my life would be a gloomy, damp rainy season.” What's it like to love someone for ten years, without ever wavering? After His Second Differentiation, I Was Forced to Cuddle with My Archenemy Blurb A fiery kitten × a scheming guy Xie Huai'an, an alpha at Nancheng No. 1 High School, is handsome and plays guitar. Other than being bad at school and rather cold, he's practically flawless: the dream alpha of many omegas. Though his teachers have labeled him a bad student in all sorts of ways, he just coasts through life and has no interest in doing anything stupid. Then one day, his childhood friend Gu Linzhou, who had suddenly disappeared a year earlier, transferred back to his school. From then on, Xie Huai'an had an archenemy who was always at odds with him. Xie Huai'an's convictions were unshakable. At a basketball game, he declared that either he or Gu Linzhou could be there, but never both, and that if Gu Linzhou were one more person on Earth, Xie Huai'an would explode. Everyone: So much for childhood friends. They're archenemies! One day, Xie Huai'an woke up to find that he had second-differentiated into an omega. Xie Huai'an: Wait, excuse me? As if the heavens weren't unfair enough, he had also fallen ill. Every time his illness flared up, he became weak and irritable. Then, one day, he accidentally stumbled into his archenemy Gu Linzhou's arms, and all his agitation vanished. That's when he discovered something even more terrifying than being sick: He needed to smell his archenemy Gu Linzhou's pheromones to feel better. A month into the school year, everyone knew all about the relationship between Xie Huai'an and Gu Linzhou. It wasn't long before people started to notice something strange. Someone saw Xie Huai'an sneak into his archenemy's classroom and bury his face in his clothes, inhaling deeply. That person: I... what? Gu Linzhou noticed that the clean school uniforms he kept in his locker would inexplicably go missing for a day or two. One day, Xie Huai'an was caught while going to retrieve something and cornered in the bathroom. Gu Linzhou looked at Xie Huai'an, still clutching his clothes, raised an eyebrow, and asked casually, “My friend, care to explain? Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined. Who'd want me after that?” Xie Huai'an held back his temper. He didn't want to hand over the clothes; they were his medicine. “What do you want?” Under pressure and persuasion, Xie Huai'an gritted his teeth and revealed his illness. Gu Linzhou tugged at the hem of Xie Huai'an's shirt. “What do you think we should do?” “How about I treat your illness, and you come to class with me?” The next day, the grade's universally acknowledged archenemies became deskmates. They discussed problems between classes and stuck together at meals. On the basketball court, the two who once swore they'd never be together were now there side by side: one playing basketball, the other sitting quietly at the edge of the court, hugging a uniform. Everyone: Has the world gone mad? In public: I'd rather die than speak to him. In private: Damn it, would it kill you to let me smell you? Theme: Stay true to your original intentions, and you'll see things through to the end.
