The Days I Pretended to Date the Campus Hunk

(This story is complete. The next story, The Last Orange Cat in the Interstellar Era: ABO, is now updating. An adorable, lovable big orange cat! Visit my author page to save it.)

Original title: Fake Dating in the Name of Cats. A fairy-tale healing story, unrealistic, guaranteed well-aged and sweet.

We've all seen plenty of fake relationships, but it's probably unusual to fake-date someone to ransom a kidnapped cat.

Qin Beier, a poor student with the power to spend money, always puts on an aloof front around others. In truth, he's just afraid they'll see through his soft, sweet heart.

The campus heartthrob and top student Gu Zebe is an archer who never misses. He especially likes taking aim at proud little targets like this one.

The two are tied together as soon as they meet, and the first words they exchange are a confession: "You're short on money, and I'm short on love. We're the perfect match." All the ingredients for a sweet first love are here. Off we go!

[Gentle yet assertive campus heartthrob gong X proud, gifted, academically uneven rich second-generation good-for-nothing shou, with cute cats galore]

I solemnly promise that all the little animals in this story are "guest stars" from Maochun, and none of them will suffer any actual harm during their "performances."

A few notes:

1. Sweet story, HE, 1v1.

2. The story includes exams, math, physics, competitions, homework, the college entrance exam, and other topics that might make some readers uncomfortable.

Here's the blurb for the currently updating story: The Last Orange Cat Omega, an interstellar beastfolk fairy tale.

The orange cat big shot is tired of his life as a wanderer, full of fighting and killing. After failing to scam someone, he is reborn as the only cat in the entire interstellar world, a young Omega heir to a family of big cats. He's lazy and loves good food, and if he can lie down, he absolutely won't sit. Who could have guessed that this useless, good-for-nothing ball of fluff, who excels at eating and nothing else, would dare to openly scam an Alpha human?

Humans in the interstellar era are an endangered species treated as national treasures, so competition for the right to scam one is fierce. To successfully take charge of the human he's had his eye on, the orange cat is forced to work hard, defeating a whole pack of competitors and rising to become the most popular sleep-aid ASMR streamer in the Sleepless Empire, livestreaming purrs and naps, and one-sided displays of affection.

Shou: My human and I are made for each other. We're getting married soon, and I'll give you all candy then.

["What does it feel like to receive a wedding invitation and discover that you're the groom?"]

Gong: ...Thanks for asking.

Shou: I've got my eye on you. I want to take charge of you. From now on, I'll be the only one to purr you to sleep. Do you like that?

Other beasts: We don't! We beg you to spread the love around!

Shou: They want me to spread the love around, but I'm only spoiling you, only you!

Gong: Such a weighty love. (He hefts the orange cat.)

"Even if there's only one cat in the whole universe, it can still rule the world by being adorable. See how the orange cat big shot spoils his human online, spreading a little cat's love and philosophy of life. Perfect for insomniacs, people short on sweetness, and virtual cat lovers.", Recommended read by Maochun Cat Daily
