An Honest Guy, but His Childhood Friend Is a Dragon-Attuned Protagonist

The two extra chapters I owe for this novel will be added to the launch bonus chapters for my upcoming novel, I Became a Legendary Investigator Through Pollution Immunity. This author is honest and trustworthy: no bluffing, no missed deadlines!

[Overpowered, feel-good hero, but not a macho straight-laced top X Beautiful, oblivious, lie-flat, honest bottom]

After three years of wavering, four years of certainty, ten years of devotion, and one argument, Cheng Yue finally realized that waiting for Gu Mo to figure things out on his own was probably even less likely than a stone blooming.

When you can't take it anymore, you don't have to! jpg.

So, as a self-made, overpowered hero, he didn't hesitate to make a straightforward move, successfully completing the last piece of the perfect life of a modern urban overpowered hero: marry a beautiful, rich woman and reach the pinnacle of life.

However, once Gu Mo realized that Cheng Yue liked him, the “perks” Cheng Yue had schemed for himself while Gu Mo was young and naive all turned, without exception, into irrefutable “evidence of his crimes.”

“Babe, you have to believe me. I really didn't get you drunk on purpose so I could take advantage of you and have drunk sex with you. You were the one who made the first move...”

“Is that so?” Gu Mo said calmly, placing his pale foot with precision less than half an inch from that sensitive spot. “Then explain what this is supposed to be.”

I'm an ordinary, unremarkable, truly honest person: honest, quiet, wearing the same few plaid shirts until the end of time, and silently writing code between home and work every day.

I never even considered putting down roots in bustling H City. Before I graduated from university, I had already planned to work in H City until I had saved enough money, then go back to my hometown, S City, and lie flat. If things went well, I'd find an equally honest local girl, go on a blind date, fall in love, get married, and have a lovely daughter, bringing her everything beautiful in this world.

Six years after graduating, I had finally saved enough money to feel secure. After working overtime until I passed out on Thanksgiving night, I made up my mind: once I finished this year, I'd quit and go home, saying goodbye to this fast-paced city that was so at odds with me.

But then the one extraordinary thing in my life, my spoiled rich-kid childhood friend Cheng Yue, stepped forward at that very moment. With a passionate offer of cash and five percent of the original shares in a Fortune Global 500 company under his name, he wanted to poach me for his company, or at least keep me in H City.

I'm honest, not stupid, so of course I didn't take him seriously. I teased him right back, jokingly:

“Anyone who knows you would think you just couldn't bear to part with your buddy. Anyone who doesn't would think you're planning to enter my family with an outrageously expensive dowry.”

What I didn't expect was that Cheng Yue was serious. Hearing what I said, he suddenly shoved me hard against the wall, gripped my slim, pale waist, which had never seen exercise or sunlight, and leaned close to my ear to whisper:

“If you're willing, that's not impossible. But this is the bride price, not a dowry.”

At the time, I still hadn't realized how serious things were. Completely oblivious, I hooked an arm around Cheng Yue's neck and breathed warmly against his ear, replying cheerfully as if it were all a joke:

“Sure! Calling you hubby isn't going to cost me anything. That's a deal with nothing to lose!”

...It wasn't until a few seconds later that I realized things had gotten seriously out of hand.

Dude, you're actually serious?

Before I could even gasp in alarm, Cheng Yue, as if he'd already anticipated my reaction, silenced me with a hot, wet French kiss.

Since it was my first time kissing anyone, I had no idea how to breathe. Cheng Yue kissed me so passionately and fiercely that I passed out. As for what happened afterward...

Anyway, six months later, lying on the king-size bed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of our riverside apartment, I regretfully told Cheng Yue that I really couldn't give birth to a lovely daughter, and no matter how hard he tried now, it was all in vain.

- The main story is told in third person.

- Contains a few references to the New Three Kingdoms, but they won't affect comprehension.

- A medium-length, pure-sweet story, one-on-one, happy ending.

- The top has long hair and won't cut it later. He's scheming and can imitate voices, all to match the bottom's straight-man tastes. Yes, this guy really is that scheming.

Upcoming: I Became a Legendary Investigator Through Pollution Immunity, planned for June or July 2026. The two extra chapters I owe for this novel will be added to this one's reward pool.

Synopsis:

As an orphan, Gu Ke worked himself to the bone in China before finally earning the chance to study abroad at Miskatonic University on a government-sponsored scholarship.

But because of his special constitution, which grants him immunity to pollution, he was forcibly recruited and made a temporary investigator for the North American Bureau of Special Investigations.

Gu Ke: “I'm tired. Let North America be destroyed.”

But a Chinese person who refuses to give up can't even lie flat in peace, much less a government-sponsored student abroad on a national scholarship.

So, in the Bureau of Special Investigations' files, the profile of the legendary investigator Gu Ke reads as follows:

This student from China is truly remarkable. He once infiltrated an island occupied by pollutants all by himself, extracted the pollution core intact, and returned whole, unharmed, and in good physical and mental health. He also faced an ancient god and remained lucid, clearly describing and recording everything he saw and heard... He hasn't gone on many missions, yet he's made plenty of myths, often making discoveries that astonish the Bureau of Occult Investigations.

P.S. We must do everything in our power to keep him here.

Now in the fifth year of his doctoral studies, Gu Ke has to receive regular treatment from a psychologist in Gordon City.

“My boyfriend and I have a very good relationship, but when we're having sex, especially when he's inside me, I often can't help throwing up. It's really troubling both of us.” Sitting before Gordon's finest psychological counselor, Gu Ke repeated this for the tenth time.

“Why? Because I can always smell those... things on him, the same things that give me such awful experiences at work. But he really is human, a human I've known since childhood. He can't possibly be... one of those things.”

“But the terrible thing is, the last time I went to work at an abandoned hotel deep in the mountains, I found an oil painting in the lobby. The person in it looked exactly like my boyfriend... But that hotel has been abandoned since the seventies, and no one has gone inside for over fifty years... And everyone who came with me insists it was just an empty frame.”

“Judging from all the signs, I should be suffering from paranoia because of my work. I know that's not uncommon in our line of work, but I still hope you can give me some advice so I can overcome this psychological barrier and reconcile with my boyfriend.”

“After all, I came here for him. I really love him, and I don't want to leave him at all.”

“What? You want to know what I do for work? I'm sorry, but the confidentiality agreement prevents me from telling you. But I can assure you that, apart from being somewhat similar to a doctor's work, it only requires me to visit some bloody crime scenes. It won't cause me any harm.”
