When Mind Reading Meets Time Stop

Shen Cai has a special ability: he can stop time.

He can't get along with one of his roommates. The other guy is always cold and sharp-tongued, never looks people in the eye, and disagrees with Shen Cai about nearly everything, both in his studies and daily life.

After getting verbally cornered by his nemesis in class once again, Shen Cai flies into a rage and gives in to his worst instincts. He stops time, pins the other guy against the classroom lectern, and prepares to beat him up good.

But then he discovers that under his nemesis's plain, unremarkable jeans is a brightly colored piece of lingerie, while beneath his wrinkled, misshapen sweatshirt is a glittering nipple piercing.

Shen Cai snaps a photo and searches for it with an image-recognition app. On a shopping platform, he finds his nemesis posing in some very revealing product photos. It turns out that this seemingly conservative, slovenly, sharp-tongued roommate is the exclusive model for an adult toy shop.

Shen Cai: Whoa.

Tang Xu has a special ability: he can hear other people's thoughts.

He can't get along with one of his roommates. The other guy is vain and flashy, talks too much and makes a fuss over everything, and treats him terribly.

They are clearly not on the same wavelength, so Tang Xu tries to avoid conflict. But after the other guy provokes him again and again, Tang Xu can take no more. He peeks into his roommate's secrets, planning to get revenge when the opportunity comes. But what he hears isn't vicious insults. It's...

[Next time, I'll put him in a maid outfit...]

[His waist is so soft. Why is his mouth so stubborn?]

[His lips are so pink. I want to kiss him.]

Tang Xu: ...?

To get his nemesis to stop pestering him, Tang Xu reluctantly sleeps with him a few times. He never expects the guy to take that as an invitation to invade his personal space, sneering aloud, "I only like your body."

But what he's thinking is...

[The longer we're together, the more we'll fall in love.]

Tang Xu: Whoa.

A vain, shameless flirt who acts cool on the outside, gong x a sharp-tongued, cold, secretly flirtatious shou

Shen Cai x Tang Xu

Reader's Guide:

1. Happy ending, sweet story, roommates-to-lovers. An ordinary love story full of chaos.

2. Enemies to lovers, an argumentative couple who are always bickering.

3. The shou is an adult toy designer and model. He has a cross-dressing scene.

4. The gong stops time to do bad things. The shou is stubborn and always gets even. Neither is perfect, and their values do not represent the author's. You can curse them, but don't curse me, okay?

5. Dual POV means the story switches between the gong's and shou's perspectives, not that they switch roles in bed.

Theme: Break free from society's restraints and embrace freedom and love.
