Fake-serious, green-tea top student seme x antisocial, irritable "school bully" uke

An unwelcome guest moved into Xia Ze's single dorm room, where he had enjoyed living alone for years. Xia Ze immediately sensed that this guy had ulterior motives.

And he was right. The guy had no sense of boundaries at all.

Jiang Yu: "Can I borrow your toiletries?"

Xia Ze: "So going to the supermarket was just for show, huh?"

The next day, Jiang Yu bought the exact same toiletries as Xia Ze.

Xia Ze: Tch, copycat.

Jiang Yu: "They challenged me to a fight, but I can't beat them. Can you come with me?"

Xia Ze: "Do you really have to go?"

Xia Ze: You went looking for a beating, and now you're dragging me into it?

Jiang Yu: "We have to work hard if we want to get scholarships!"

Xia Ze: "Huh?"

Xia Ze: "What's that got to do with me?"

Jiang Yu: "We're in the same study group, and our overall assessments take both of our changing grades into account."

Xia Ze: Trying to make me study now?

Xia Ze couldn't take it anymore. He decided to live up to his school-bully reputation, scare Jiang Yu off, and make him leave as soon as possible.

He followed tips he found online and set out to crush the top student's pride.

He threatened Jiang Yu into doing his homework.

Jiang Yu: Friends help each other out.

He stole Jiang Yu's breakfast.

Jiang Yu: Friends share good food.

He forced Jiang Yu to tie his shoelaces in front of everyone.

Jiang Yu: Friends are this close with each other.

And then...

Jiang Yu leaned in and kissed Xia Ze.

Xia Ze: "We're friends..."

Jiang Yu: "Not friends. Boyfriends."

Jiang Yu: Possibly the only friend-obsessed character in the whole story (crossed out) love-struck character

[Unknowingly Flirtatious, Teary-Eyed, Pitiful Uke x Cold-Faced, Crying-Fetish, Forcefully Devoted Daddy Seme]

Orphaned young, Shen Qing is a sensitive, self-destructive crybaby and a useless coward. His uncle forces him to give up his studies and sells him to the ruthless head of the Lu family in exchange for a sky-high bride price.

Terrified of the husband rumored to be sinister, vicious, and cold-blooded, he can't understand why the man would agree to this disastrous marriage, but he doesn't dare ask.

They are given separate rooms on their wedding night, and his husband never touches him.

Shen Qing: He really does hate me.

He hears that Mr. Lu hates people who cry, and he's a useless little crybaby who can't control his tears.

Shen Qing's eyes redden: No wonder he hates me, but I really can't stop, sob.

At dinner, his husband's cold expression scares Shen Qing into tears again. Head bowed, he lets crystalline tears patter down one after another.

The refined man across from him furrows his sharp brows and fixes him with a few seconds of dark-eyed scrutiny. He hands him a tissue, but his tone leaves no room for argument: "Crying won't help. You can't be picky. You aren't leaving the table until you finish."

The timid Shen Qing doesn't dare rebel. Thinking his tears have upset his husband again, he obediently lowers his head and eats the two pieces of greens in his bowl.

Only later does Shen Qing realize that this man doesn't hate seeing people cry at all. He loves it!

One morning, Lu Yuchen carries the drowsy, sulking Shen Qing out of the car and sets him down at the school gates. "Time for class. Why are you still lazing around?"

Tears gather in Shen Qing's eyes. He rubs them sleepily and pouts in anger. "This is all your fault!"

He stomps on the man's gleaming leather shoe, leaving a clear print, then turns and walks away.

The man surnamed Lu knows he's in the wrong and isn't angry in the slightest. He even laughs when he sees the gray mark on the toe of his shoe.

All because he remembers how those little feet rested on his shoulders at night, and how the slender body trembled as Shen Qing sobbed, so soft and delicate...

Premise: Even an antisocial guy can make good friends!
