Them? Those Beings

① A gloomy, antisocial, disturbed boy × a confident, upbeat ray of sunshine

"He's looking at you again."

Only after someone pointed it out did Gu Tingyu realize there had always been a sticky, ever-present gaze following her like a shadow. It was so dark and suffocating that she couldn't ignore it.

Once he realized she'd noticed, his stalking grew more and more brazen. He was both shamelessly bold and painfully insecure.

She ignored him, warned him, and then started avoiding him when she realized something was wrong. He remained silent, but only got worse, and Gu Tingyu could only swallow her disgust.

One day after school, Gu Tingyu returned to the classroom to grab something and saw him rubbing his face against her chair. Something inside her snapped.

She cast aside her nameless fear, strode over, grabbed him by the collar, and slapped him. Her voice rose, though she could barely hold herself together:

"Xie Yu! You're absolutely disgusting! You're like a puddle of sludge, like a toad clinging to someone's foot. You make me sick. I want to stomp you to death!"

The corners of Xie Yu's eyes were flushed red. The slap had brought color to his pale, sickly face. He bowed his head and trembled all over, making no attempt to fight back or say a word.

Gu Tingyu didn't see the chilling excitement and twisted pleasure hidden in his eyes, concealed behind the hair hanging over his forehead.

② An insatiable, heartless stray dog × a proud, dazzling young lady

Hungry, hungry, hungry...

A hunger that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, with an eternally insatiable glutton locked inside.

Lin Lan was so thin and sickly he looked like a dried-up matchstick. He clung to life amid mountains of trash, every bone threatening to pierce his thin skin. He looked as if he could die at any moment.

Until one day, he found her.

Gu Yusheng despised the filthy, scrawny stray dog.

But as a sheltered young lady who had never lifted a finger, well, now a young lady fallen on hard times and stranded on a garbage planet, she had no choice but to patiently deal with the sick dog who didn't even have a surname, at least until her family came to find her.

Gu Yusheng was arrogant, but not stupid.

Still, she never imagined that he wanted to eat her.

Salivating, Lin Lan lovingly licked his trembling meal. He wanted so badly to swallow her whole.

But he fed on her emotions.

And positive emotions were the sweetest and most filling.

So he became a house dog.
