A binge-worthy collection of short stories with male-male couples
[Transmigrate into a book + school setting + aloof top student top x dramatic, clingy bottom]
Lu Ren transmigrated into a book, becoming a background character in a melodramatic romance novel: the ill-fated desk mate who got on the heroine's bad side and met a miserable end.
Looking at the impossibly handsome, intimidatingly aloof top student beside him, Ye Fan, the male lead of the original novel, Lu Ren quietly clenched his fists.
Latch onto the protagonist! He had to latch onto the protagonist!
From then on, a strange sight appeared at school.
"Ye Fan, Ye Fan, I bought you milk for breakfast!"
"Ye Fan, Ye Fan, I don't understand this problem. Teach me, please~"
"Ye Fan, Ye Fan, they're bullying me QAQ"
The whole school waited to see Lu Ren get frozen into an icicle by Ye Fan. But then...
One day, someone saw Ye Fan hand Lu Ren his limited-edition notebook.
Another day, someone caught Ye Fan personally applying ointment to Lu Ren, his touch so gentle it practically dripped with tenderness.
Then one day, Ye Fan knocked down a punk who tried to lay a hand on Lu Ren and announced expressionlessly, "You dare touch what's mine?"
Lu Ren: ??? I only wanted to latch onto him. How did I end up bringing him home?
Just then, the original heroine, Liu Ruyan, made a dazzling entrance with her System, swearing to take back the male lead who belonged to her.
Liu Ruyan: "Ye Fan, I don't understand this problem..."
Lu Ren stumbled into Ye Fan's arms. "Ow! Ye Fan, my stomach hurts!"
Liu Ruyan: "Ye Fan, my cat can do a backflip. Want to come see?"
Lu Ren clung to Ye Fan's arm and wheedled, "Ye Fan, Ye Fan, my hamster can burrow. It's even more impressive than a cat!"
Liu Ruyan (through gritted teeth): System! Get rid of this Lu Ren for me!
Ye Fan watched coldly. The moment Liu Ruyan made a move, he shielded Lu Ren behind him, his gaze icy as he said, "Get lost."
Later, Ye Fan accidentally discovered Lu Ren's secret and learned that he was merely a character in a book, while Lu Ren's goal from the very beginning had been to "steal him away."
Terrified, Lu Ren trembled, thinking he'd be thrown out. Instead, Ye Fan pinned him against the wall and kissed him.
Ye Fan's voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness that was difficult to detect. "Now that you've come, don't think you can run."
Lu Ren: ??? What happened to the aloof top student? Since when does he force people to go out with him?!
[Bonus scene]
Lu Ren: "Ye Fan, did you already like me back then? Why else would you always bring me food?"
Ye Fan's ears reddened, but he stubbornly denied it. "I felt sorry for you."
Lu Ren grinned and leaned closer. "What about now?"
Ye Fan gazed into his sparkling eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing as he bent down to kiss him. "...I think you're cute."
