Synopsis

Yu Fan couldn't stand that new transfer student in his class.

The guy glanced at him once.

Yu Fan: He's looking for a fight.

A second glance.

Yu Fan: He's asking if I'm chickening out.

A third glance.

The transfer student still wore that blank, ice-cold expression as he handed him a letter. “Yu classmate.”

Yu Fan figured top students were pretentious like that—even issuing a challenge letter for a fight. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up.

“Please accept my love letter.”

Yu classmate plopped right back down.

——

Chen Jingshen (gong) x Yu Fan (shou)

Daily life, slow burn

I translate danmei from a tiny flat in Manchester with terrible coffee and a very loud mechanical keyboard. Usually post a chapter every couple of days. If a line makes you laugh on the bus, I've done my job.
