Chapter: 1
The sun shone through the curtains, onto Xue Yang’s sleeping face. He looked peaceful, quiet, and calm in his slumber. It was a nice day outside, there were the right amount of clouds, the sun was warm but not too hot, and the strength of the wind was great as well.
As the alarm began to ring, the sleeping boy’s eyes fluttered open, revealing a pair of light red orbs. He turned around and buried his head underneath the blanket, trying to ignore the sound of the alarm.
Less than a minute passed before he slowly crawled out of his little cocoon, and grabbed his pillow.
He glared at the alarm clock and snapped.
“WOULD YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A SECOND?!?!?!?!?”
In a rage, he threw the pillow at the alarm, causing it to fall off the bedside table and break. It wasn’t the only thing that fell down though. The glass of water that he left there last night got knocked over, as its contents spilled over his schoolbag (which contained all of his books) that was resting next to the table.
“...”

Although the weather was great, Xue Yang’s morning wasn’t. He spent ten minutes trying to dry his bag and textbooks, but it was no use. So he got changed into his uniform and headed out of his room to eat breakfast. As he opened his cupboard he realized…
“I have no food”
So he skipped breakfast and decided to buy something from the local bakery. He packed his bag in a hurry, slipped on his shoes, and walked outside, locking the apartment door behind him. He walked past countless doors as he made his way through the hallway to the elevators. Once he had reached them, he wore an unreadable expression as he faced a giant sign that read:
ELEVATOR BROKEN. PLEASE USE THE STAIRS UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.
Xue Yang kicked at the elevator doors.
“What the hell????? How the fuck does someone break an elevator???? Tch”
He then proceeded to walk down the stairs.
“90… 89… 88… more steps to go…”

“AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH”
It was only the start of the day but his legs were tired, and his back ached from the weight of his bag. He trudged along the footpath, kicking stones onto the road. He stared at the pavement while muttering curses under his breath.
“Stupid scumbag. I should sue that piece of shit for underpaying me. Or maybe I should find a new job that pays more… or maybe I could scam peopl-”
Before he could say another word, he bumped into someone, causing him to stumble and fall onto his bottom.
“Owwww… Watch where you’re going you motherfu…”
He looked up to see a boy around his age, maybe older, with his arm extended towards him. He looked kind, gentle, and exceedingly handsome.
“Are you okay?”
The boy asked as he pulled Xue Yang up.
“I’m- Ah- Thanks for that I’m okay now”
He replied as he dusted his uniform off. The boy smiled at him before responding.
“No problem. Are you also buying something from the bakery? Let me treat you”
XY: “Oh it’s fine haha… I’ll just-”
?: “No no, I already bought two buns, you can have the other one”
XY: “...Is it really okay?”
?: “I really don’t mind”
The boy opened his bag and took out a paper bag that had the bun in it. He then gave it to Xue Yang.
“Thank you”
He said as he munched on the bread.
?: “Your welcome. It also looks like we go to the same school. Do you want to walk with me?”
XY: “If you don’t mind then sure”
?: “That’s great. Let me introduce myself. My name’s Xiao Xingchen. I’m in year twelve right now so you’ll see me around the senior classrooms. What about you?”
XY: “I actually just transferred into one of the year eleven classes so it’s my first day today… The name’s Xue Yang”
XXC: “It seems that you’re my junior… well, if you ever need help you can come to me. I hope we can get along!”
XY: “Ah- yeah. Me too”

As they talked more, Xue Yang came to the realization that he may like this senior of his… in a romantic way. His smile, his laugh, and the way he combs through his hair with his fingers. He liked everything about Xiao Xingchen.
So on that day, he decided-
I’m going to do anything to win his heart!
