Hi guys How are u all hope doing well Any place, name is friction It can be 🔞 plus Pls correct me if I make any mistakes

In the very early hours of the morning, Lin Qian was on top of a pillow, an elbow propping up his head, as he sent Zheng PingQing a message.

Lin Qian: Happy Birthday 🙂

A reply was sent back in seconds.

Zheng PingQing: Don’t just say that, do something to make me happy, ah!

Lin Qian rolled his eyes and typed: It literally just became your birthday!

Zheng PingQing’s reply seemed expectant: Don’t hesitate, act quickly!

Lin Qian: “….”

Lin Qian moodily replied: The person already gave you their warm greetings, isn’t that enough for you to be happy?

Zheng PingQing: not enough.

Lin Qian couldn’t help but reflect on himself. In the end, for what reason did he decide to lose his mind and agree to associate with this person?

He tapped his index finger against his chin and replied: Then, what gift do you want?

After a bit of thinking, he added: A friendly tip, my bank account has **** yuan so think about your answer with this in mind.

This time the reply was slow to come. The message box showed that the other party was constantly editing their reply, which made Lin Qian feel guarded.

Typing for so long, how many gifts does Zheng PingQing want, ah? You’re not actually planning on emptying my account, are you?

Lin Qian wondered if he should backtrack and tell him to forget about it.

Anyway, this wouldn’t be the first time he and Zheng PingQing tried to scam each other.

Just as Lin Qian’s heart was about to shatter from the thought of his empty bank account, Zheng PingQing’s reply finally appeared.

Zheng PingQing: I don’t want money.

Lin Qian’s heart: “….”

It took you half an hour just to edit those four words?

As he rolled his eyes, another message appeared.

Zheng PingQing: Marry me, Lin Qian.

Lin Qian was stunned, his elbow slipping, causing his head to fall straight down. Fortunately, the pillow below prevented a tragedy.

Lin Qian rubbed his chin, his heart fluttering from the abrupt drop: Do you know what you’re saying?

Zheng PingQing: I typed it word by word. So, what do you say?

Lin Qian struggled to contain his laughter as he replied: If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn’t have befriended you.

Zheng PingQing: If you want to laugh at me, then just go ahead and do it. Anyway, I’ve long crossed over to the enemy’s side and admitted defeat.

Zheng PingQing: Damn it!

Zheng PingQing: I like you. I can’t back out of these feelings anymore.

Looking at Zheng PingQing’s self-deprecating messages, Lin Qian could almost see his chagrined face. He couldn’t help the smile that blossomed as he replied: Say that again.

After sending this, Lin Qian felt a little perfunctory, like that online expression of “Putting on a facade when in reality, everyone already knew that he’s dumb as hell.” He hurriedly clarified: Calm down a bit, you’re not being stupid.

Lin Qin: After all, I like you too.

Although Zheng PingQing didn’t immediately reply, Lin Qian, with more than ten years’ experience fighting with this person (in both wills and punches), could easily imagine the extremely dopey smile Zheng PingQing must be wearing right now.

Sure enough, Zheng PingQing’s next message was a lot more gentle.

Zheng PingQing: Lin Qian I’ve wasted so many years opposing you, I refuse to continue my stupidity.

Zheng PingQing: Promise to marry me.

Lin Qian smiled: You finally admitted that you were being stupid before.

Lin Qian: But that doesn’t matter. I promise, you fool.

Lin Qian: Don’t forget your passport. I’ll see you at the airport.

China hadn’t passed the same-sex marriage law yet, so two men can only go abroad if they wanted to get married.

A message box showed that once again, the other person was frantically editing a message. However, even after a long while, the message sent was still very inconsistent with the typing time.

Zheng PingQian: Wait for me.

When Lin Qian saw those familiar words, he couldn’t suppress the gentle sigh that escaped him. Then he snorted.

In the ten years they’ve known each other, Zheng PingQing has said those words to him countless times.

But all those times in the past were said in animosity.

Who could anticipate that those words, said between the same two people that were once irreconcilable adversaries, who would shout 'You die, I live' to each other, would be spoken for a marriage proposal.

On the way to the airport, Lin Qian’s mood was quite delicate.

He took out his phone and opened the messaging app to stare at the words ‘wait for me’.

Zheng PingQing had transferred to Lin Qian’s high school during his sophomore year, and ever since then, the two had been continuously fighting for more than a decade.

Even their relatives and friends, because of their antagonistic relationship, had become two well-known circles of opposition in the city, regularly sniping at each other.

That was until a few years ago, when Zheng PingQing’s father, the city’s richest man, was exposed in a scandal. Seeing the Zheng family’s misfortune all over the newspapers along with some recent revelations made Lin Qian and his close childhood friend Xu Yao finally realize that Zheng PingQing truly wasn’t an enemy to be blamed.

Though even during the reunion celebrating the 50th anniversary of their high school last year, one of the main topics everyone was reminiscing about was the legendary feud between Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing.

It was a classic case of ‘teenage angst ruining one’s future prospects.’

……

Lin Qian stood in the departure hall as he watched Zheng PingQing cut through the crowd to reach him.

Despite it being hours before sunrise, Zheng PingQing dressed casually. He didn’t even have a suitcase, just a bag on one hand and his passport on the other.

Still, he was like a crane amongst a flock of chickens, truly dazzling.

“You’re here.” Zheng PingQing stopped in front of Lin Qian, his face slightly pale due to his nervousness. Despite this, his eyes were clear and resolute as he said: “You’re sure about this? No lingering doubts?”

Without waiting for Lin Qian to reply, Zheng PingQing took his hand and answered his own question: “Regardless, regretting things now are useless.”

With a hand firmly on Lin Qian’s wrist, Zheng PingQing started to drag him towards the security checkpoint.

Lin Qian: “….”

Lin Qian didn’t resist the man pulling him forward. A little dumbfounded, he simply replied: “You’re not giving me a chance to speak my mind, ah.”

Zheng PingQing paused for a second, before continuing to walk determinedly: “You’ve already agreed.”

Lin Qian: “….”

Well, what else can he say to that? In the end, Lin Qian could only grasp the hand holding him. With a gentle voice and smiling expression, he said: “Yes, yes, I’ve already agreed, no need to be afraid.”

Zheng PingQing’s footsteps slowed.

Lin Qian discovered that the hand he was holding was faintly trembling.

In the past, they fought so ferociously, sometimes to the point of actually coming to blows. Zheng PingQing had never once been scared or timid when facing him then, but now he was genuinely anxious enough for his hands to shake. There was no trace of that imposing person today.

Lin Qian couldn’t help but hate himself a little. They had been butting heads for so many years, how did he not discover the fact that Zheng PingQing was someone who was strong in appearance but was weak-hearted in reality. He could’ve teased him into submission a long time ago!

Zheng PingQing was tense right until they actually boarded the plane and sat down on their seats. When he confirmed that Lin Qian really wasn’t going to escape, he calmed down enough to loosen his death grip on Lin Qian slightly.

“We’re actually getting married.” his tone as he said this showed his disbelief on the matter.

Lin Qian was also quite emotional: “In spite of everything, we actually are.”

If someone said a few years earlier that he would one day agree to marry Zheng PingQing, every single relative and friend of his wouldn’t doubt that person’s untimely and violent death.

The world truly is unpredictable.

……

As the plane took off, Lin Qian looked through the window to see the forever-bright glow of the city shrinking. As the glittering lights disappeared, he officially said goodbye to his childish and frivolous youth.

Maybe because he had the same thought, Zheng PingQing’s voice sounded near his ear with a sigh: “Do you sometimes wonder if we could go back and start all over again…”

Before he even finished, Lin Qian couldn’t help but retort: “If we could go back in time, the first thing you have to do is publicly admit during the senior assembly that I’m the most handsome man in the entire year!”

One deeply affectionate Zheng PingQing: “….”

They’re already getting married and he still can’t let go of that petty grudge? Can’t you just go with the flow and say some sweet words?

Zheng PingQing felt a little aggrieved as he nodded: “…alright.”

Then Zheng PingQing continued and said a few sweet words of endearment: “Then after I admit it, we can fall in love early on, without having to waste all those years…”

But in the end, Lin Qian just had to spoil the atmosphere: “Wake up a little, we’d be too busy preparing for our college entrance exams to do anything.”

Zheng PingQing: “….”

A fearless Zheng PingQing retorted back: “That isn’t as important as you.”

Lin Qian really just had to laugh this time, going in for a cuddle and rubbing his head against Zheng PingQing’s neck: “Well, if we actually do go back in time and start over, all that means is that I would be able to love you a lot earlier.”

“Un.” Zheng PingQing wrapped his arms around him tightly. “Sleep. When you wake up, we’ll get married.”

The night was dark, with the dull roar of the engines in the background. Occasionally, stars could be seen flickering past the window, like meteors passing in the blink of an eye.

Lin Qian unexpectedly felt reassured, and as he nuzzled into Zheng PingQing’s arms, fell into a deep sleep.

……

Lin Qian had a dream.

In this dream, time really did rewind and he returned to his turbulent high school senior year.

On the first day of their senior year, there was an assembly where the students would collectively say the school’s vows as per tradition. As the top student with the highest grades, Lin Qian was the student representative. He would need to go up the stage and make a speech, inspire his fellow classmates, and lead them to say the oath.

It was just that, because of the feud between him and Zhen Pingqing, the assembly ended in disaster.

Zheng PingQing, who had just returned from summer vacation, was for some reason very angry that day. With a group of people rallying behind him, he publicly confronted Lin Qian in the middle of the assembly. On stage, Lin Qian gave as much as he got, and the ensuing roars of laughter turned the whole scene into chaos.

Before the school oath could even be completed, Zheng PingQing and the people with him swaggered off.

That assembly became the one nightmarish stain in Lin Qian’s entire senior year.

But it was nothing compared to what happened after the assembly.

It was the reason Lin Qian couldn’t forgive Zheng PingQian and held a grudge against him all these years.

That was, until two years ago, when Lin Qian’s father divorced his stepmother. This led him to unwittingly find the truth about what happened in that horrible year.

Afterward, he and Zheng PingQing finally managed to understand each other for the first time. Now, whenever they thought back to that farce of a year that changed so many people’s lives, they would groan.

“Ah Qian, hurry and wake up.”

“Ah Qian, it’s time to wake up. All the girls in our year are waiting for you.”

Lin Qian could hear a faint voice in the distance.

“Actually, forget about the girls, we need to kick Zheng PingQing off his high horse.”

“Zheng PingQing’s insane, actually getting along with that Dong MingEn, going so far as to…” The voice, especially the resentment coloring its tone, was familiar.

“It’s becoming a problem. But never fear, Xu Yao is on your side. That noob is nothing compared to a true master.”

“Fuck, you still need to return the favor, aren’t you my unshakable brother?”

“Ah Qian, Ah Qian…”

Lin Qian finally opened his eyes in a daze, only to be met with an extremely familiar face.

Xu Yuo was a neighbor who grew up right alongside Lin Qian ever since they were children. He badmouthed Zheng PingQing with him for over a decade. They had an extraordinary, revolutionary friendship that withstood the test of time.

He was still sluggish when he saw Xu Yao’s face wobbling to shape in front of him. Somehow, this familiar face looked a little strange today.

Lin Qian’s head was in a mess. It took him a solid minute to realize that he wasn’t on the plane. How else would Xu Yao be in front of him right now?

But he then realized that Xu Yao was badmouthing Zheng PingQing, saying: “Ah Qian, I think we should just find Shao ShiJia and ask her to give Zheng PingQing a beating…no, two beatings…”

Lin Qian: “….”

What’s going on? Hadn’t Xu Yao already accepted his relationship with Zheng PingQing? Why would he change his mind again?

Lin Qian stopped Xu Yao’s ramblings with a hand on his shoulder. Then, with a serious expression he said: “Xu Yao, I know it’s a difficult thing for you to swallow, but you have to accept that Zheng PingQing and I are together!”

Looking into Xu Yao’s blank look and slack face, Lin Qian became aggravated. With a stern voice, he dealt the finishing blow: “Xu Yao, I’m going to marry Zheng PingQing.”

Xu Yao’s eyes instantly widened. Nearby, there was suddenly a loud bang and clatter.

As Lin Qian turned his head towards the source of the sound, Xu Yao finally snapped out of it: ????????

What the fuck?!

A special double release for this new series!

Thanks for reading this 😊 Take care bye

Hi guys How are u all hope doing well Any place, name is friction It can be 🔞 plus Pls correct me if I make any mistakes

Lin Qian was surrounded by the friends he grew up with.

Xu Yao, Jiang TingJun, Pan QiBo…and Fu YiFei, who had fallen to the ground from shock, taking a desk down with him.

The loud bang Lin Qian had just heard turned out to be this.

All his friends were looking at him in horror, as if they just heard some terrible piece of news. Fu YiFei was on the ground with his mouth wide open in an astonishing arc, making him look quite silly.

But no one was more surprised than Lin Qian himself.

He realized that he was actually in his alma mater, No. 12 High School. He was sitting in his classroom and standing before him were all of his friends, faces still familiar, but obviously too young.

No wonder he thought Xu Yao’s face looked weird when he first saw it. The Xu Yao in front of him didn’t have any fine lines created by the hardships of life but instead, sported two ugly acne bumps sticking out of his forehead.

Nearby, other students who were attracted by the sound of the falling desk looked at him doubtfully.

Lin Qian subconsciously kneaded his temples in an attempt to wake himself up.

As he did this, his friends all gradually recovered.

Xu Yao took the lead and approached him, his face engraved with the words ‘shocked’ in uppercase. He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times before finally managing to say: “Ah Qian, what did you just say?”

Lin Qian at the moment couldn’t understand the situation in front of him so opted not to answer. Instead, he scrutinized his friend’s face, in an attempt to figure out the truth from falsehood.

Jiang TingJun’s face was frightened and uncertain as he said: “I think I just had an auditory hallucination…”

Fu YiFei, who was still sitting on the ground, raised his hand and weakly echoed, “Me too…”

Lin Qian’s gaze moved with their voices, analyzing each person carefully. He identified these friends of his who were clearly familiar but were strangers at the same time.

Several of his young friends looked at each other as they muttered their doubts, as if asking the other whether they really heard what they heard.

Xu Yao was still looking at him, asking again and again: “Ah Qian, what did you just say?”

“He said that he and Zhang PingQing were together.” A girl suddenly interrupted

Lin Qian turned his head to look at the female classmate who just spoke. She had a low presence in class, and he couldn’t even remember her name, only vaguely remembering that she seemed to enjoy reading some strange books.

This female classmate pushed her glasses back to the bridge of her nose, her eyes hidden behind the lens showing a mysterious and eager twinkle: “He also said that he was going to marry Zheng PingQing.”

At this, Pan QiBo, the only other person who had stayed silent, finally confirmed his fears and made a concluding statement: “It seems that it wasn’t just an auditory hallucination everyone conveniently had at the same time.”

Pan QinBo and the female classmate’s words were tantamount to thunder, striking every one of the onlookers, causing them to gasp.

“What? Are Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing together?”

“I don’t believe it! How can No. 12 have room for both of these arch-rivals?”

“Wait, I also heard Lin Qian badmouthing Zheng PingQing just this morning! How can Lin Qian change his tune after just two classes?”

I take two classes, and suddenly Lin Qian does a 180?

“The College Entrance Examination is killing people, ah! Those university tyrants driving everyone crazy!”

“Come, come, someone bring me my salvation pill to give to this poor person!”

“Xu Yao, you previously said that you guys were meeting Zheng PingQing’s group after school to negotiate. Were you just faking?” A classmate pointed towards Xu Yao, eyes full of suspicion and doubt.

Xu Yao’s eyes widened and he shook his head madly, indicating that he was totally innocent.

Several female classmates were also screaming in the background: “I don’t agree with this marriage!!!”

“Men are big fat liars!”

In the midst of all this chaos, someone finally couldn’t take all this talk and loudly shouted: “Can you all focus on the main point? Isn’t the biggest problem about all this is the fact that they’re both men?”

……

Lin Qian: “….”

This kind of rambunctious atmosphere was familiar and in-line with his past classroom interactions.

At this moment, Lin Qian’s brain finally sputtered to life and he realized that he, in fact, had been reborn.

He suddenly reached out to grip Xu Yao’s arm, pinching the flesh he touched. When he heard Xu Yao’s exclamation of pain, he determined that he was not dreaming.

Since this isn’t a dream, it meant that this was really happening.

He actually returned back into his student days.

It was a pity, but he shouldn’t wait for Zheng PingQing to marry him again. Zheng PingQing could have a normal life and be a little happier, ah.

Lin Qian wasn’t without regret when he thought this.

Xu Yao didn’t know what Lin Qian was thinking, but he felt that his friend’s behavior was a bit strange. He rubbed his sore arm and grimaced as he asked: “Ah Qian, what the hell is wrong with you?”

Lin Qian’s mind flashed through countless thoughts, but his face remained passive, and he only shook his head as he quietly replied: “Nothing, I was just dreaming.”

Hearing this, Xu Yao and the rest of his classmates finally calmed down a bit. Jiang TingJun still had a few lingering fears as he said: “Your dream is too scary, I almost had a heart attack!”

Lin Qian: “….”

Fu YiFei stood, groaning as he used Jiang TingJun’s thigh to straighten himself up: “Help me check my butt, I think I just dislocated my pelvis.”

Lin Qian: “….”

No, he didn’t have a problem with the fact that he woke up suddenly reborn. But the reactions of these guys when they heard about his relationship with Zhang PingQing?

Lin Qian couldn’t help but resent them.

Xu Yao looked at him anxiously: “Ah Qian, have you been under too much pressure recently? Are you stressed? How come you had such a terrible nightmare?”

“And what a terrible nightmare. I’d rather dream about failing the entrance exams than dream about Lin Qian and Zhang PingQing standing in the same room…ah, pei! Forget I even said that!” Fu YiFei firmly expressed his disdain for Zheng PingQing.

The onlookers showed sympathetic expressions, and the kinder ones even gave Lin Qian encouraging looks: “Lin Qian, we’re rooting for you to knock Zheng PingQing down!”

Female classmates also expressed their relief: “Lin Qian is still single, we still have a chance!”

Lin Qian: “….”

Lin Qian pretended to still be groggy as he asked Xu Yao: “By the way. what time is it now?”

He could only tell that he returned to his time as a high school student. He had no idea what time or even day it was, so the most pressing task was to confirm his current situation.

Xu Yao slapped a hand over his forehead: “I almost forgot, the senior assembly is about to start. We were going to encourage you before you go.”

Jiang TingJun hurriedly nodded: “Ah Qian, have you practiced your speech?”

Fu YiFei rubbed his butt while pushing past Jiang TingJun: “What nonsense are you spouting? This is the mighty human machine we’re talking about, what’s a speech to him?”

Pan QiBo looked at Lin Qian with concern: “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just relax alright?”

……

They pulled Lin Qian out of the classroom and walked towards the auditorium: “We better go quick, the assembly is about to begin and with Ah Qian being the protagonist, we don’t want him to be late.”

As Lin Qian was pushed forward by a group of people, he finally figured out when exactly he was reborn to.

The first day of his senior year. The day of the oath assembly.

The pivotal day that changed the fates of Zheng PingQing and the people around them.

Lin Qian recalled his banter with Zheng PingQing on the plane, about what they would do if they ever actually go back in time. He couldn’t help but wring his hands.

If he knew that he had the ability to make his dreams come true, he would have made himself dream about getting rich overnight!

But soon, he regained his spirits and thought about his current situation.

As the student representative, very soon he would be making a speech in front of the teachers and his whole year, then lead everyone to take the oath. The last time he did this, Zhang PingQing and his group interrupted him, resulting in the assembly descending into chaos. In the end, he became one of the biggest jokes since No. 12 High School’s founding.

In the summer vacation before the school year, Xu Yao and Dong MingEn, one of the core figures in Zheng PingQing’s circle, clashed. The two groups agreed to negotiate in the abandoned teaching building afterschool, but because of what happened in the assembly, the negotiations fell apart even before they began, leading the two groups to fight each other directly.

The fight was so intense that eventually, several students ended up injured in varying degrees. Some had injuries so bad they had to stay home for several months, missing the most important examination of their senior year.

Not only that, but they were also caught by the class leaders and brought to the Deputy Principal and the Headteacher. With Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing as the main instigators, this created a black mark in their high school careers.

Lin Qian, in particular, was hit hard. He was a student representative that turned the assembly into disarray, then even took the lead in the ensuing brawl. This made several staff members angry, causing Lin Qian’s punishment to be particularly strict: three months of home study suspension.

As a result, when it was time for the college entrance exams, he, Zheng PingQing, and the friends around them practically fell into a disastrous defeat.

Especially Lin Qian, who with his academic achievements, could have been guaranteed a spot in the most prestigious university in the Imperial Capital. But because of the black mark and his dreadful exam results, his guaranteed spot vanished.

So many years later, because of their low academic qualifications, their respective groups didn’t meet people’s expectations and didn’t go very far in life.

Now, Lin Qian was deep in thought as he walked. At this very moment, Zheng PingQing should be with Dong MingEn, planning on how they would make a fool of themselves during the assembly.

But this time, he wouldn’t go along with Zheng PingQing’s actions. He can make a fool of himself as much as he wants, but Lin Qian wouldn’t be doing the same this time around. In any case, he can’t let things develop in the same destructive direction as his past life.

Although perhaps, after changing the trajectory of their fates, Zheng PingQing won’t ever fall in love with him as he did in their previous life. But Lin Qian could also recognize that this might mean a greater, happier life for Zheng PingQing.

After all, even if time did reverse, his feelings for Zheng PingQing could never be erased.

Love is love.

Lin Qian praised himself for his heroic sacrifice, but at the same time couldn’t help but shed a tear of sadness.

In his past life, he had never expected that despite everything, he would end up falling in love. He was about to enter the happiest phase of his life, but when he closed his eyes, he somehow ended up back as a single dog.

Life really is unpredictable!

Lin Qian, let me give you a hug!

New series, it’s cute, it’s hilarious, there’s fluff.
