A black-bellied beauty, who had initially thought that he had that little wolf dog all under control, was attacked by what he thought was prey.

Xu Jiangtong, a lecturer specialising in sculpture within the School of Art, had become famous since a tender age. Beneath his mature appearance lies a young heart.

He readily holds grudges, has a tongue as sharp as poison, and harbours numerous bad intentions in that belly of his.

After overhearing Tao Xihong slander his lessons in the cafeteria, he wrote his name down in his little notebook.

Tao Xihong is the main player of the school volleyball team, as well as one of the top students in the School of Management. He is extremely busy with tasks, all day and every day;

This was why, in the cafeteria, he had complained indignantly about the lousy “Western Art History” lesson that existed just for students to earn credits.

At that time, a pair of vengeful little eyes fixated on him.

After repeated rounds of torture, Tao Xihong surrendered and walked into the classroom, and it was then that he was finally attracted by Xu Jiangtong’s beauty;

After that, he not only attended every lesson and took part in class actively, but even replayed lesson recordings, finding himself rendered unconscious by the teacher in the deep of the night.

Xu Jiangtong had thought that he’d exacted his revenge, but he had no clue that he was being targeted by a shrewd hunter.

After repeated tugs of war and probing, Tao Xihong finally walked into Xu Jiangtong’s home.

There and then, he opened up another side of Teacher Xu:

An open-minded artist who grew up drawing nude models.

Xu Jiangtong (MC; shou) x Tao Xihong (ML; gong)

A slightly unusual young lecturer x his slightly persistent student 9 years younger.

A short and quick read. Technically MC and ML have a student teacher relationship, but MC only teaches ML for a semester for an art history class and their interactions afterwards are mostly through volleyball, so the teacher student aspect isn't as big of a focus as I was hoping.

Overall I enjoyed the story. Both characters have had to deal with past trauma, and as the truth slowly comes out, it's nice to see them be there for each other.

However, I felt like the author spent too much time on... more>> their volleyball games. Found myself skimming through those chapters pretty quickly. I also could have done without the random connection between the ML's dad and the MC's past trauma. It felt like the author just decided to throw it in there last minute and didn't fully resolve it before ending the story. <<less
