Blind Circle

My new story next door, "This Panda Cub Is Super Fierce [Infinite]," is now underway. Go check it out if you're interested!

High IQ, low EQ / chauvinistic / jealous top VS

Disabled but determined / cold on the outside, warm on the inside / purehearted mute bottom.

1.

Back when the deduction game "King of Detectives" was all the rage, two legendary players emerged.

Their many peak-level showdowns are still talked about to this day.

People on the game's forum still joke about the usernames of those godlike players:

Clear Breeze, Bright Moon.

Probably a pair of high-IQ sweethearts bullying ordinary noob mortals.

2.

Ji Liang, captain of the criminal investigation squad at the Weijiang City police bureau, once used the username "Bright Moon."

By chance, he met a little mute who couldn't speak.

The little mute wore a food-delivery uniform, his bangs damp from the rain, and stood outside the door looking somewhat timid.

Even after learning that the other man lived right across the hall, Ji Liang coolly remarked, "What a coincidence."

He kept saying it was a coincidence, right up until he discovered that the other man was actually "Clear Breeze."

Ji Liang, who rarely smiled, grinned.

Leaning against the wall by the stairwell, he asked the young man coming upstairs:

"I made too much food. Want to eat together?"

The little mute stared at him blankly with those innocent, guileless eyes.

And from that moment on, Ji Liang was caught.

3.

Later, Shu Xin was caught up in danger. When Ji Liang, in his police uniform, rescued him from the smoke and fire...

The man wiped the dust from his dirt-streaked cheek.

For the first time, the usually scrupulous Ji Liang spoke without regard for the situation.

"Little mute, want to date me?"

"Say something. If you don't turn me down, I'll take that as a yes."

But the mute couldn't speak.

His colleagues at the police bureau finally understood:

When it comes to love, Captain Ji basically stops acting like a human being.

Whoever comes into my room will find only the clear breeze; whoever drinks with me will have only the bright moon.

This story is entirely fictional and has no real-life inspiration. Please don't read anything into it.

The blurb below is for "This Panda Cub Is Super Fierce [Infinite]"

Gu Yunyi, heir to the Gu family, was born with a pair of matching dragon-and-phoenix jade pendants.

Ten years ago, he accidentally dropped one half of the pendant into a pond. Someone from another world found it, and their fates became bound together from that moment on.

Gu Yunyi treasured jade above all else. At night, he'd often clutch the half pendant and talk to himself. It became his "secret confidant."

One day, ten years later, a "boy" covered in blood climbed out of the pond with the pendant in his hand.

Gu Chu: Buy one, get one free? ...Wait, lose one and get two back?

*

Blood trickled down from Ji Xiao's forehead, blurring his vision with red.

Holding the jade pendant, he saw only the person by the pond, with features so beautiful he'd never forget them.

Hearing Gu Chu's familiar voice, Ji Xiao suddenly understood. Was this the person who talked to him through the pendant every night?

He'd slept with the pendant in his arms every night because he was addicted to hearing Gu Yunyi's voice!

When he saw the phoenix pendant on Gu Yunyi, his eyes lit up and he held out a hand toward Gu Chu. "You're my wife?"

Gu Yunyi: ???

Ji Xiao grinned slyly. "I use your secrets as a snack to go with my drinks every night."

Before Gu Yunyi could react, the hand that had been reaching to touch his face suddenly thrust out behind him, striking a shadow that had come from another world to ambush them. It crashed to the ground!

The blood-covered boy suddenly vanished, leaving behind a round, chubby...

black-and-white bundle?!

Ji Xiao, now a giant panda: Rrr?

Gu Yunyi: ...?

*

People from the Special Abilities Department came rushing over. They grabbed Gu Yunyi by the collar. "Hey, kid, come have a cup of tea with us."

The black-and-white bundle clung to Gu Yunyi's leg, still smelling of blood, and stood firmly in front of Gu Chu.

The little panda bared his teeth at the man, looking ferocious. "He's mine!"

Under the man's meaningful gaze, Gu Yunyi panicked as the panda nearly pulled his pants down. "I didn't! I haven't! Stop imagining things!"

*

Ever since he "found" a panda, the beings from other worlds who coveted Gu Yunyi, the "spirit seed," and came looking for trouble stopped appearing.

Because

Ji Xiaoyuan took Gu Chu to those worlds to cause trouble for them!

This panda cub is super fierce!

A stubborn but softhearted, adorable bottom who becomes a "power bank" after their fates are bound together X a dominant, jealous top who turns into a giant panda at the drop of a hat.

Theme: Redemption of human nature.
