He Pretends to Be Innocent, I Pretend to Be Blind [Infinite]

Blurb dated April 28, 2026. Writing start date undecided.

Su Mingyi is a famous top player in an infinite-loop game, with a 100% clear rate. He's known as "the walking guidebook."

But in front of his boyfriend, he's a sweet, adorable college student who gets clingy and blushes.

When it thunders and rains, he'll climb into his boyfriend's bed in the middle of the night and say, "I'm scared, big brother~"

Yin Ji is a hidden boss in the infinite-loop game, in charge of the "City in the Mirror" instance. He's killed more players than Su Mingyi has ever met.

But in front of his boyfriend, he's a gentleman in a tailored suit, and after work he'll go home and cook for him like the perfect boyfriend.

"It's okay, don't be scared. I'll pick you up when I get off work."

Until the day the long-sealed City in the Mirror instance opens.

Su Mingyi kicks open the boss room door and points his gun at the throne.

Nothing like the "I'm scared, big brother" act he puts on at home.

At the same time, the boss on the throne slowly rises.

Black leather, silver earrings, a tattoo peeking out from beneath his collarbone: wild and dangerously sexy.

Their eyes meet.

Su Mingyi: ...??

Yin Ji: ...???

The air falls dead silent for three seconds.

"...Big brother?"

"...Xiao Yi?"

The gun stays raised. The boss stays on the throne.

Both of them wordlessly pull out their phones and open their chat history.

The latest message, from five minutes ago, reads:

"Big brother, I have a bit of a fever today. I'm lying down at home~ Miss you~"

"Drink plenty of hot water. I'll come home to keep you company when I'm done with overtime."

Su Mingyi looks up at the gun in his hand.

Then he looks at the boss across from him, wild enough to grace the cover of a magazine.

He slowly says, "Didn't you say you were working overtime?"

Yin Ji leans back on the throne, crosses his legs, and lets his silver earring glitter in the light.

"Didn't you say you had a fever?"

"Th-then, um..."

A trembling NPC/player raises a hand in the corner. "So... are we still doing this instance?"

Su Mingyi and Yin Ji turn around at the same time and answer in unison:

"Yes."

They pause, then add at the same time:

"Let's throw him out first."

NPC/player: ???? What did I ever do to you two???
