Unrequited love | Second chance romance | School days first, city life later

[Cool, avoidant top student recipient x cocky, devoted, straightforward pursuer]

Currently revising~

Mo Yinbei seemed to have someone clinging to him, starting from the moment he accepted Lin Shiye's friend request.

[Ding-dong] [Ding-dong] [Ding-dong]

Why did the new student's message alerts keep going off?

Lin Shiye: [Class monitor, can we switch our duty day next week? I have a basketball game.]

Mo Yinbei: [Sure.]

Lin Shiye: [Want to come watch?]

Mo Yinbei: [Thanks, but no.]

Lin Shiye: [A present for you.]

Mo Yinbei: [Thanks.]

Mo Yinbei: [But it's too expensive. I can't accept it.]

Later, messages in their chat grew more and more frequent, until one day Lin Shiye cornered him in a secluded spot.

Three simple words, "I like you," made Mo Yinbei come to several sudden realizations and retreat in alarm.

Mo Yinbei deliberately kept his distance. Just as he thought they could leave things at that, Lin Shiye called out his name from behind him on the night of the school anniversary celebration.

"Can we take a picture together?"

Mo Yinbei didn't refuse.

But on graduation day, Lin Shiye didn't even leave him a goodbye.

In everyone's eyes, Mo Yinbei was cool and taciturn, like a flower on a high peak, shutting out anyone who came near.

No one knew that beneath that aloofness, his true nature was timid and avoidant.

That was, until Lin Shiye barged into his life, pierced his disguise, and saw the real him.

In the winter when he was twenty-three, five years later, Mo Yinbei saw Lin Shiye again, at a hospital.

A cold, oppressive aura surrounded the man as his gaze locked onto Mo Yinbei in the distance.

This time, after hesitating, Mo Yinbei was the first to wave. In return, he acquired a little "puppy."

[Highly intelligent, well-behaved mute recipient x sharp-tongued, mean older brother pursuer]

The day Qi Shubai was led into the Lou family residence, Lou Siy an, his nominal older brother, didn't think much of the mute boy.

Pretty, quiet... and yet far too hollow.

An imperfect beauty could only invite endless covetousness and malice.

Lou Siy an sneered and looked away. What did he care?

Until not long after, at the technology conference that caused a sensation across the city.

A group of people cornered the boy by the backstage entrance, speaking cruelly.

"What does a mute think he's doing in a place like this? Don't you realize you're in everyone's way?"

"You're not fit to be here. Hurry up and get lost, "

Lou Siy an lowered his brows and looked at the child, who remained unmoved. Even the curve of his hair was soft and quiet to an absurd degree.

Lou Siy an clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Too gentle, and people will walk all over you.

Before Lou Siy an could step forward, a group of big shots rushed over.

Several industry leaders crowded around the boy, addressing him as "Senior Brother Qi" with astonishing respect.

A distinguished scholar, long absent from the academic world, spoke with pride. "This is my precious disciple."

The event organizer hurried over and respectfully handed Qi Shubai a gold-embossed certificate. "Mr. Qi, this is the international gold medal certificate for the algorithm you submitted."

Watching the boy surrounded by admirers, the people who had just been shouting had already huddled together in a corner, trembling.

Hadn't they picked on a mere mute boy?

Someone standing beside Lou Siy an stared for a long moment at the man who couldn't get close to the boy, then murmured, "Brother Lou, didn't you say he was just a kid brother you picked up for cheap?"

Why were you staring at him like a resentful husband with a grudge?

Reading guide: His loss of speech is caused by a psychological illness, and he recovers later.

A refreshing identity-reveal story with a little gentle guidance.

Still one-on-one, with both leads each other's first. Thanks for adding it to your favorites!
