[Chinese BL novel] 我和死对头互相垂涎对方的…… by 挠时光 / Me and my enemy covet each other's ...

I followed this one during publication. It was completed just few days ago.

Summary: Shen Nanzhi and Qin Wensi had been at odds for many years. Until one evening of being plotted against they end in one bed and realize how compatible they are in this aspect. Although they have antipathy (as they think), but they start to have a physical relationship which led them to realize that maybe they never actually hated each other after all.

This is very short (55+3) and very sweet and nice novel. Loved how it was written, love the relationship and how they treat each other. Love how it was expressed through nice dialogues and actions.

The plot isn't anything spectacular or new. But I still appreciate that few details were dropped here and there to make the picture bigger.
Both Nanzhi and Wensi come from wealthy families, but they have different family environment.
Shen Nanzhi is a son of the first wife who comitted suicide because of unfaithful husband. Mistress and illegitimate son occupied their positions quite quickly. Nanzhi was smart and you can tell he waited for a long time, but his father still couldn't get rid of him. Because Nanzhi is smart, he has technology in his hands, while his second son towards whom he is always biased brings him nothing but troubles. Nanzhi deals with many things, but it's basically making a wedding dress for others. So we will have a satisfying "you stare at me, but you won't catch me when I do something to you".
On the contrary Qin Wensi's parents are very loving and they have only each others. Although he is not as smart as Nanzhi, but most people wouln't be in comparison, but he is still the top guy, he was just more into sports when he was younger (of course they have different build because of it, which Nanzhi actually appreciates visually hahaha).
Their situation is nothing more than tugging girl by her pigtails, they had a minor conflict as kids and Wensi did not understand Nanzhi with his belly full of black and his poisonous tongue. But now after they had a relationship and Wensi analyzed their relationship, he realized that most likely there is an attraction but point is the way of expressing it was quite childish. They never had a big conflict or a fight, it's more like riling each other up.
It's a bit sad to see that despite his achievements you could see that Nanzhi envies Wensi and his family relationship. And also is a bit afraid of truly connecting and being officially together. But Wensi is stubborn in a good way :) He would work for their future.

I usually don't really like shorter stories, because just 55 chapters feel short to me. It's always something not right about them. But I really liked this one.

RATE: 5/5.
