A Straight Guy's Online Romance with a Handsome American Prep-School Daddy

How is my blonde, blue-eyed little sister a guy? And a middle-aged man at that! [Bonus chapters 90 and 91 added] [The pirated version differs too much from the official one on Jinjiang. Please support the official version!] Charming gentleman / scheming old money x sunny, straight guy / hot-tempered international student Silas Aston & Ming Ying (Mingo) Ming Ying had fallen in love. It started on his first day in New York, when a blonde, blue-eyed hottie who spoke Chinese approached him at the airport, struck up a conversation, and asked for his number. As a pure-hearted straight guy, Ming Ying couldn’t possibly say no. So he waited, and waited, and waited, until an unfamiliar WhatsApp account finally messaged him. The profile picture was a little odd: a photo of N University’s campus. The name was odd, too: a Chinese name. He tentatively asked, “Hello, who r you?” After a long while, the other person replied, “Airport.” Oh! It was that Chinese-speaking hottie! At first, the hottie didn’t say much, completely at odds with her appearance. She was cool and aloof, while Ming Ying did all the sharing, and the other person replied every now and then. After they’d chatted for a while, Ming Ying noticed that whenever he said something he wanted comfort about, the other person would reply at greater length. For instance, he said he’d watched a game that day and his team had lost. The other person comforted him: “That’s normal. The ball is round. You can win next time.” For instance, he said it was raining in New York again and the weather was awful. The other person replied, “Remember to bring an umbrella. Don’t be sad. You’ll see a rainbow tomorrow.” Alone in a foreign country and dirt poor, Ming Ying treasured this relationship. He thought he was falling in love. Until one day, while rushing to meet a deadline, Ming Ying complained, “Our architectural studies professor is pretty handsome, but why is he so ruthless? Every assignment is so hard!” The other person didn’t reply. The next day, a current of excitement rippled through his architectural studies class: N University’s youngest board member had come to sit in! Ming Ying arrived late, pulled out his phone, and messaged his online crush. “Our board member came to class and sat in the back row. Talk about capitalist arrogance. He’s taken my seat. Where am I supposed to sit?” As soon as he sent the message, a ripple of surprise went through the room. The board member had stood up. Ming Ying saw him not only stand, but walk straight toward him. As Ming Ying wondered what was going on, a 6-foot-3 blonde, blue-eyed man in a suit stopped right in front of him. …Shit, was he here to tell me I’d failed and been expelled? Instead, the man frowned and said, “Ming, it seems we need to talk.” What? You’re telling me my online crush is not only a man, but a man ten years older than me, and a board member at my university, and I’ve just called him a capitalist to his face??? At this point, failing and getting expelled would be better! // After their attempt to meet in person went wrong, Ming Ying was in despair. The board member saw how upset he was and said, “Ming, you get to decide what our relationship is. Don’t put yourself in a difficult position.” Ming Ying looked at him, afraid even to speak. “How about… we just stay online friends?” The board member smiled. “Sure.” Then, one morning, some time later… Ming Ying woke up in the board member’s bed. He cursed the old scoundrel for turning him gay, then happily ate the breakfast the old scoundrel had made. And later… On graduation day, Manhattan was sunny beneath a blue sky dotted with white clouds. Ming Ying, chosen to speak on behalf of the outstanding students, stood at the podium and looked out at the audience. He smiled and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, if one day you meet someone who makes you feel that the world holds a thousand possibilities, then I’m sorry to tell you that you’ve fallen in love.” One-on-one, happy ending, both virgins, funny and sweet, an everyday comedy about the two of them Set in the United States, ten-year age gap. The girl who asked for his number at the airport was the top’s niece. The top is Chinese-American, old money through and through, a university board member, and not a teacher. This is not a teacher-student romance! The bottom’s social media handle, Mingo, comes from Bingo. The bottom isn’t perfect: he’s disobedient, a little troublesome, and an unconventional high-achieving student with a high IQ. He’ll have some academic low points, but things will work out. Everything is set up to serve the romance, so please don’t scrutinize the details. Thanks again! >< A love letter to the twenty-year-old you and me. Theme: Youth may pass, but ideals endure
