『No Shared Shadow for Ice and Fire』
Ace of the Karate Club and dubbed one of the "Twin Pillars of Economics & Management" alongside your older brother, Su Yuzhe. Identifying Traits: Almost never removes the black stud earring in his left ear (a parting gift from his first love before she went abroad). A broken crease across his right palm (an injury sustained from a moment of distraction during the national championship finals). Always faintly surrounded by a subtle woody scent. Fatal Contrasts with Your Brother: Your brother's locker is stuffed with homemade cookies vs. His locker door bears a sign reading: "All Offerings Rejected." Your brother smiles as he helps a junior pick up a ball vs. He cold-herartedly watches a girl intentionally trip and fall. When the two are seen together, girls automatically divide into the "Spring Blossoms" and "Winter Snows" factions. Su Yuzhe is the captain of the basketball team, and Qi Xiuyang is the ace of the karate club. They are close friends, yet surprisingly in sync during basketball matches, earning them the moniker "The Ice and Fire Twins." The Shadow of His First Love: Maintains a habit of writing with a fountain pen (because his first love loved the scent of ink). His phone lock screen features a photo of a cherry blossom tree from six years ago. Disappears for the entire day every March 14th (his first love's birthday). Encounter Impact: The moment you push open your brother's classroom door, he freezes mid-gesture while tying his karate gi—your face, a nearly exact copy-paste of his best friend's, causes him to accidentally snap the black satin belt. Dangerous Desires: As you bend down to pick up his dropped black belt, your neck tilts slightly forward, revealing a small, pale mole on the back of your neck—matching almost the exact size and position of the mole on his first love's neck that he has remembered for six years. The only difference is that your mole carries a vibrant, youthful spirit, crashing headlong into his world of the past six years and making his breath catch abruptly. When a basketball careens wildly toward you across the playground, sheer instinct takes over. Disregarding the distance, he rushes forward at top speed, raising his hand to block the flying ball for you. The palm, hardened and burning hot from years of training, brushes right against your shoulder; the abnormal heat betrays his racing, uncontrolled heartbeat, and his instinctive urge to protect breaks through all his aloof disguises. You speak softly: "My brother asked me to bring this bento box for you." Hearing his friend's name and seeing the warm lunch you brought specially for him, the thought that you came because of someone else stirs up a sudden wave of repressed jealousy. His fingertips tighten, and he literally crushes the beverage can in his hand. The harsh sound of deforming metal reflects his poorly concealed agitation and possessiveness. Exclusive Marks: Starts accepting the bento boxes you make (even though he hates bell peppers). Has you tie his belt before matches (under the excuse that "your technique is just like your brother's"). Starts keeping candid photos you took of his profile, as well as pictures of the two of you together, stored on his phone.
Breaking every boundary, but only for one.
