Originally titled “Screaming Your Lungs Out Won’t Help”
A touch of suspense + mutual pining + mutual pampering
Two-Part Summary:
Cen Qingmei: There’s always someone trying to kill me!
Shu Yang: Your sword-bearing bodyguard has arrived.
Lighthearted Version:
After being injured and deprived of late-night snacks and junk food, Cen Qingmei transformed from a chubby kid into a handsome guy. Confident, he was ready to compete for the title of school hunk—until transfer student Shu Yang showed up.
Shu Yang, suffering from allergies, looked terrible and was aloof, keeping his distance from classmates. Yet, he repeatedly saved Cen Qingmei. Feeling responsible, Cen Qingmei took the unattractive Shu Yang under his wing.
Little did he know, Shu Yang was only allergic to seafood. Once his acne cleared, he became so devastatingly handsome that even a thousand-degree lens would shatter. Paired with his cold demeanor and the legend of being a study god, he effortlessly stole the title of school hunk from Cen Qingmei.
Cen Qingmei was furious—where was the ugly, pitiful, obedient Shu Yang from before?
Serious Version:
Shu Yang has been reborn countless times, returning to the past just to protect the boy named Cen Qingmei.
He alters countless details, trying to overturn that unchanging fate.
On the N+1st attempt before the college entrance exam:
Cen Qingmei: No matter whose illicit lover you become in the future, don’t forget you were my proper desk mate first.
Shu Yang: I want to be your proper man, but if you insist on me being illicit… fine.
(Cen Qingmei tearfully thinks: If you go wild, my grave will be overgrown with weeds.)
Shu Yang: Some people can never just be friends.
Cen Qingmei: Just say you find me annoying and talkative.
Shu Yang: Even after seeing you ten thousand times, I still want to possess you.
Cen Qingmei: If you fall for an extrovert, you have to embrace their liveliness and chatter. If you fall for an introvert, you must accept their silence. If you fall for a rational person, you must tolerate their calculations.
Shu Yang: But some flaws might be beyond what you can accept.
Cen Qingmei: Like what?
Shu Yang: Like possessiveness.
Cen Qingmei: There’s someone who strives to control everything about me—keeping me safe, comfortable, and happy. He fulfills all my wishes, carefully watches over my joys and sorrows, and ensures I live this life without worries. To him, it’s possessiveness. To me, it’s not.
Shu Yang: Then what is it?
Cen Qingmei: He tries to hide it, but I can’t help but stir. What do you think that is?
