After I Smashed the Fake Fanboy Jock, He Became My Boyfriend

At the anime trivia contest livestreamed to the whole school, the host asked top-tier star Ling Ye, “As a longtime anime fan, who’s your favorite character?”

He smiled faintly, utterly captivating. “Nezuko Kamado from Demon Slayer. Her refusal to give up and her devotion to protecting her family have really moved me.”

The live comments instantly flooded with messages like “The campus heartthrob is so sweet” and “Aaaah, my husband likes the same waifu as me!”

The host followed up, “Then what’s Nezuko’s most distinctive feature?”

Ling Ye answered confidently, “Obviously, that cowlick on her head that sways with her emotions. It’s so cute.”

I, an obscure tech geek, was sitting quietly in the corner. I couldn’t help letting out a snort of laughter.

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to me.

Calmly pushing up my glasses, I spoke into the microphone, enunciating every word. “I think the character you mean is Artoria from Fate, commonly known as Saber. Nezuko has a bamboo muzzle in her mouth, not a cowlick.”

The whole room fell silent.

In a single second, Ling Ye’s impossibly handsome face went from beet red to the color of pig liver.

I thought we’d become bitter enemies from that moment on, locked in a feud to the death.
