summary
The rumours regarding Fuzhong #1's top student and 富二代 (fu‘erdai, rich second generation) school tyrant spread like wildfire, even though everyone was puzzled as to why there were rumours about these two people who have never interacted before.That is, until they were streamed into humanities and science classes and the two of them became deskmates.Chi Yu does not want to be a homosexual, he just wants to dispel the rumours.However, Fu Zhi'an is different, he just wants the rumours to become true.
author's notes
Don't oppose this, please read this aloud together with me: Top student gong top student gong top student gong!!! Please give Xiao Fu a chance, he really wants to be the gong.In the earlier stage, the shou is just childish, has a bad temper and a foul mouth, don't scold him x2First BL so writing style might be bad. I don't suggest reading it if you find the writing bad. Just read it to make yourself happy. You don't need to tell me if you don't like it either.
Fu Zhi'an 付止桉
top student, gong
(xueba gong! xueba gong! xueba gong!!! - author)
cares so much for chi yu since they were kids (pretty sure he already had a crush on chi yu then)
poor zhi'an just wants to be closer to chi yu now that they've reunited
shameless and flirty <3
Chi Yu 迟喻
school tyrant, shou
prideful and swears a lot BUT IT'S FUNNY
one-sidedly thinks of zhi'an as his enemy
shy when it comes to expressing his feelings for zhi'an
has a sister called chi yin (迟音)
password to his home is zhi'an's birthday
why read
might contain spoilers so read at your own risk
I personally enjoy reading school life stories that are top student x school tyrant and honestly, I expected the story to end with the gaokao part being the top student tutors the school tyrant and they both do well etc but this story didn't follow that so I enjoyed it even more.I also thought it was gonna be fluff all the way since it was short but boom once the angst started it just became worse and worse </3 (still HE though, don't worry!) and I cried so much at the part where they were forced to come out especially after realising it was chi yu's mother's death anniversary. (spoilers, highlight the spaces to read)Overall, it was a nice slice of life novel that I binge read (and will reread in future) and I really liked the ending a lot. The CP is really cute too and I love Chi Yu a lot he swears so much and I keep laughing because he'll literally swear at any given moment, even when they're flirting.
