Fu Classmate, Can I Kiss You?

Jiang Er dies in a blizzard after being struck by a tractor on her vacation. Her husband, Fu Tinghan, a man she barely knows, braves the storm to dig her body out of the snow and carries her home. Upon death, Jiang Er does not reincarnate but wakes up seven years in the past, in her high school body. She discovers she is back in Grade 11, the same year she first transferred to No. 3 Middle School. In this timeline, Fu Tinghan is a deaf student who is ostracized by his classmates. He is perceived as poor, gloomy, and an outsider, with rumors suggesting he collects scrap to survive. Jiang Er learns that in her previous life, she was oblivious to his suffering due to her own detached state, only marrying him later in a union arranged to save her family from bankruptcy.

Driven by guilt and a desire to correct past mistakes, Jiang Er makes a list of goals: save her brother Jiang Jue from a false accusation that leads to his suicide, prevent her mother’s death, and help Fu Tinghan uncover his true identity. She discovers that Fu Tinghan is not actually poor but is likely the lost heir of the wealthy Fu family, raised in secrecy. Determined to repay him for bringing her body home in her past life, Jiang Er decides to intervene in his current life. She boldly declares herself as his permanent desk mate, defying the class’s tradition of drawing lots to avoid sitting with him. Her action shocks her classmates and draws the ire of a bully named Xue Ling, but it also marks the beginning of her protection of Fu Tinghan.

When Fu Tinghan is confronted by Lin Ling, the school’s top delinquent, who accuses him of stealing a girl’s affection, Jiang Er steps in. She physically subdues Lin Ling and retrieves Fu Tinghan’s hearing aid, which the bully had confiscated. During their escape, Fu Tinghan experiences the world of sound for the first time through the device. He hears Jiang Er’s voice and realizes she is the only person who has ever shown him kindness without pity. Their relationship begins to shift from distant acquaintances to something deeper, with Jiang Er adopting a protective, almost boss-like attitude toward him, claiming him as her underling.

As Jiang Er navigates her second chance at life, she balances her academic responsibilities with her mission to alter the tragic fates of her family and Fu Tinghan. She learns more about Fu Tinghan’s past, including his hearing loss and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his separation from the Fu family. Meanwhile, Fu Tinghan, who has always felt isolated and invisible, finds solace in Jiang Er’s unwavering support. He begins to open up, revealing fragments of his pain and his desire to belong. Jiang Er’s presence becomes a beacon of hope for him, changing his perspective on the world and his place in it. The story sets the stage for Jiang Er to dismantle the schemes that ruined her family while helping Fu Tinghan reclaim his birthright and heal from his past traumas.
