Spoiled-Brat Syndrome

Ye Xi has had a secret crush on Bai Yue for nearly three years—an infatuation filled with frustration and repression.

Bai Yue is his brother’s best friend: handsome, upright, and gentle as jade.

But unfortunately—

Ye Xi and his brother are like fire and water. Forget about using his brother as a connection—if his brother ever found out about his indecent thoughts, he’d beat him up for sure.

So Ye Xi never even considered confessing to Bai Yue. All he dared to do was secretly watch from the shadows.

He obsessively scrolled through Bai Yue’s WeChat Moments and cherished every single photo of him.

When he heard that Bai Yue liked apple pie, he painstakingly taught himself how to bake—then struggled to shove his burnt attempt into Bai Yue’s desk drawer.

The next day, a rumor spread through school that someone was trying to poison Bai Yue.

Ye Xi was furious.

He wanted to explain.

He sighed—and quietly backed off again.

He figured: there was no chance he’d ever be lucky enough to date Bai Yue. But even for just one day… he wanted to know what it felt like to be held in Bai Yue’s arms.

To achieve that, he threw himself into studying the ways of a flirt, trying to seduce Bai Yue.

He schemed his way into Bai Yue’s apartment by begging for tutoring… then scored the lowest grade in history.

He unbuttoned his shirt in front of Bai Yue, revealing a teasing glimpse of his shoulder—only to trip and fall flat on his face the next second.

He used the excuse of a rainy night to stay over at Bai Yue’s house and asked for a towel—only for the showerhead to break and spray water all over Bai Yue.

Ye Xi was in despair.

Why was seducing someone so damn hard?

Forget it—he gave up.

But just as he was about to flee, Bai Yue pinned him against the wall and kissed him.

Bai Yue: “What nonsense are you spouting? I’m the one who painstakingly plotted to get you into my home—I’ve been secretly in love with you all along.”
