• • Chapter 10: Peijin cooks birthday noodles for He Xun after discovering his unfortunate family situation, it was the second time in his life he had ever received such a gift.

• • Chapter 18: The Classic: There was only one bed, and two of them trope, where the two end up stranded at the beachside and manage to find one vacant room at an overbooked hotel, they sleep together (gasp) and end up cuddling.

• • Chapter ~20: After Peijin receives a gift from a young schoolgirl she has managed to unknowingly charm during her time as a guy, He Xun gets jealous and purposely tries to one-up the girl's gifted homemade fruits and sweets by doing it himself. However, he's never done housework a day in his life.

I will stop here, I do not want to spoil the far sweeter scenes afterwards.

• • One of He Xun's old friends were known for being a player, which was a way he was trying to validate his own masculinity. Something terrible had happened as a result of his friend's ways, which he covered up because his friend begged for his help. He Xun's feelings of familial abandonment and alienation has probably led him to rationalize his friends behavior purely because he is afraid of losing people, however Peijin calling his friend out, seemed to give He Xun a way out of the toxic relationship.
  • He genuinely undergoes a sort of transformation during the time he and Peijin are together, at the start he does the generic "I don't feel feelings, I'm so aloof" thing, and tries to be a "man" by stating his intentions to never do housework or coddle a woman. He is a liar. Additionally, he seems to become more open with his emotions after being pampered by Peijin, which is apparently is something he's never experienced before.

• • Near the end of the story, he pummels the original story's ML because he tries to harm Peijin (FL)

• • He almost lurks, lurks, in the shadows waiting for someone to hurt who he cares about, and then he'll silently remove of them.

Oh Peijin falls, but thankfully it didn't go to the full extent the original Peijin had. When He Xun finds out that she's a girl, it's probably one of the most logical ways possible, her period. However he keeps it a secret, aside from telling his close friend, and waits until she transfers schools to transfer after her, and show her that he knew all along. It was anticlimactic in my opinion, but logical.

• • I do wish we got to see more interaction between the 'bro trio' that He Xun is in, I wanted to see more of the 'found-family trope' instead of having the other characters serve to highlight the main couple's interactions.

• • Yes, I did want to see a fight between the original story's FL, Xia Ying, and our FL, Peijin, but after learning Peijin was such as sweet person, it dawned on me that it was impossible.

• • The last ~15 chapters of the story were very cute, but I wonder if the author could've done a 'trope with a twist' that they did with He Xun to resolve the long-term story issues.

• • Story so sweet it gave me diabetes, I want my medical bills paid.
    

a lovely read. I really like how there is almost no conflicts, and even if there was, it was resolved immediately and no misunderstandings. He Xun is such a boyfriend material kyaaa~ (≧∇≦)

I had wondered how the author was gonna resolve the gender reveal, but it actually went smoother than I thought it would be.

I'd say this is a nice, short cute novel. Although it's not very original, it's a simple fluffy read. 10/10

Skipping over the fact the MC is being hypocritical ;

Seriously? They've been brothers for years, Zhang Cheng didn't just become a player overnight. He's been fooling around for a while and they very obviously indulged it. Surely, in all those years they've been brothers, they must've learned of each other and bonded. They could've straightened up their brother or gave out pointers if they really found it so wrong much less indulge it through and through. Suddenly just because of one incident with Pei Jin whom they've been "brothers" with for less than 12 days, they split up??????? Like wdf??
