The Yellow Immortal stood there with a cheeky grin. “Hey, have you ever been in love?” Lu You looked up. “...?” The Yellow Immortal kept smiling. “Ever been with a man?” Lu You: “...?!” At Chengchun University, on a path in front of the campus where golden rain tree blossoms drifted through the air, someone stood waiting. He was very tall, with neat short hair. A storm raged behind him, and Lu You stood before him.

Please bookmark my upcoming story “What Should I Do About My Cthulhu Toothache?” A Cthulhu top with a mouth full of teeth ✖️ a bottom who’s been a professional dentist for twenty years After widespread ocean pollution, some marine creatures mutated, spontaneously growing legs and lungs and learning to come ashore. After nearly twenty years of bitter struggle, humanity decided to coexist peacefully with marine life and give them opportunities to work and earn money. A host of industries catering to marine creatures sprang up. Cheng Lechu lives in this absurd era. He’s a dentist, twenty-six years old, with twenty years of professional experience. Cheng Lechu has countless times congratulated himself on living in an inland city, where he rarely has to encounter marine creatures in the course of his work. ...Until one day, something strange showed up at his clinic: a black, indistinct mass, a mysterious mixture of solid and liquid that made his sanity plummet just by looking at it. Its scientific name is apparently Cthulhu? Cheng Lechu stared blankly. “Hello. How can I help you?” The eyes all over Cthulhu’s body blinked. “Tooth... hurts...” Cheng Lechu: “Which tooth?” Cthulhu opened its mouth, revealing row upon row of tightly packed teeth. “Thirty... sixth... column... fifth... eighteenth... row...” “...” Well, look at that. It’s educated enough to know how to give coordinates. Cthulhu had a bad tooth. As the saying goes, a toothache may not be an illness, but the pain can kill you. Just as Cthulhu was suffering day and night, a flyer blew over to it on the wind. The advertisement showed a handsome man in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses. Beside him, bold black lettering read: Twenty years of professional experience, a family of dentists, here to relieve your pain! Cthulhu decided to embark on a journey to see a dentist. The good news: Cthulhu finally found a dentist. The bad news: it had no money. Faced with the steep cost of dental treatment, the naive Cthulhu thought for a moment, then politely raised a hand: “Can... I... pay... in... flesh...?” The offer to pay in flesh didn’t reach the dentist’s ears, but it did reach the Marine-Terrestrial Harmony Administration. They quickly tracked down Cheng Lechu and issued uniforms to the two of them. “Resolve one case of marine-terrestrial discord, and you’ll get this much.” The staff member held up three fingers. Cheng Lechu scoffed. “Three hundred? Do you know how much my clinic takes in a day?” The staff member shook their head, still holding up three fingers. Cheng Lechu: “Three thousand? I might consider it.” The staff member still shook their head. Cheng Lechu’s eyes widened. His attitude did a complete 180 as he enthusiastically clasped the staff member’s hands. “Colleague, I’ll devote myself wholeheartedly to promoting harmony between marine and terrestrial families!” The only problem was that the money was just too easy to earn. Cheng Lechu watched the marine creatures tremble, fall over, and crouch with their heads in their hands the instant Cthulhu appeared, and fell into thought. Come to think of it, what was supposed to happen when the two sides’ finances were so unequal, according to Cthulhu’s way of thinking? It wasn’t until a black mass pounced on him that Cheng Lechu finally remembered: Right, it would pay in flesh. Theme: Believe in science.
