Synopsis: A poor top with huge pecs and a face that screams playboy, but who's actually devoted, and a rich, handsome Tibetan bottom who stutters, can drive his husband up the wall, and is especially obsessed with big pecs. They're both competitive swimmers and each other's idealized first love. Neither is a jerk. This isn't angsty: it's a hilarious chase-your-husband-back-after-a-breakup story, so don't worry! (Top: 192 cm; bottom: 187 cm. The top specializes in butterfly.) Top's perspective: During winter swim training in their first year of high school, Xiao Xing was cornered by Yao Dong in the locker room, where Yao Dong added him on WeChat. They stayed in touch for two and a half years without ever losing contact, then confessed their feelings and met in person after turning eighteen. The result? Xiao Xing went to Yao Dong's city full of anticipation, but Yao Dong never showed up. After starting university, Xiao Xing happened to run into him in an elevator. He heard someone ask Yao Dong, "You and Xiao Xing knew each other before, right?" Yao Dong answered himself, "My ex from three exes ago." Xiao Xing gritted his teeth and asked, "We broke up in June and met again in September. Dumping me wasn't enough for you, was it? So you found time to date three guys in three months?" It wasn't until a later upheaval, when Xiao Xing watched Yao Dong speak in front of a crowd, that he realized this aloof beauty who was always oxygen-drunk and draping himself across Xiao Xing's chest, saying, "Let me bury my face here, just for a bit," was a stutterer. When he was really nervous, he couldn't get a single word out, and he was a little "dumb" too. And with that, he had still tried online dating. Incredible. After the speech, Xiao Xing cornered Yao Dong in the locker room. "So that's why you've never liked talking since you were little, and only ever said two words at a time?" Yao Dong nervously tugged at his fingers. "If I s-s-say more words, you'll see through me." Xiao Xing: "Then why didn't you come that day?" Yao Dong: "I was n-n-n..." Xiao Xing: "Got it." Yao Dong: "Nervous." That night, Xiao Xing added his ex back and received a new message: [Want to get back together?] Without thinking, Xiao Xing replied: [No chance. I've completely forgotten everything that happened between us.] Later that night, Xiao Xing received a photo from his ex. He was wearing nothing but a T-back swimsuit: [Want to get back together?] Without thinking, Xiao Xing replied: [You should keep your word. Don't try to fool me with an old photo. Got any new ones?] Later, Yao Dong sat on the basement bed, bare-bottomed and wrapped in a blanket, covered in marks. He took half a boiled corn cob from Xiao Xing and made a request between bites. "Next time, could you not go on so long? Th-th-three and a half hours. I'm starving." Xiao Xing, bare-chested and covered in scratches, held the other half of the corn cob in his mouth. "Next time, I'll let you have a sip of cool boiled water halfway through." Later still, someone asked Xiao Xing how he got so tall. Xiao Xing: "My wife's a handful. I'm afraid that disaster of a spendthrift will bring the sky down one day, so somebody tall has to hold it up for him." Bottom's perspective: Yao Dong had known since childhood that Xiao Xing had no money. During the summer break after first grade, once summer training ended, Yao Dong went off with Big Xiao to escape his weird relatives. They picked up trash together by day and used the money they got to buy dinner at night. Yao Dong hardly spoke to Xiao Xing, and Xiao Xing had no idea he was wearing amber worth five figures. But as Xiao Xing was knocked down again and again by older kids who picked on him, only to get back up every time and refuse to give in, Yao Dong knew he would grow into a formidable person. Whatever gold medal he wanted, he could win through that sheer, stubborn determination. As long as the competition was completely fair. Now Yao Dong was going to win his ex back. He was also willing to dive into the deepest, darkest abyss and face the most terrible injustice. Other people's first impression of Xiao Xing: He had the face of someone who's dated more handsome men than they've ever seen, broad shoulders as wide as double doors, a pair of legs longer than their lives, and an empty wallet. So they advised Yao Dong: "If you broke up, leave it at that. Don't chase him. He's got nothing but his looks. You'll go hungry three times a day with him. He'll sleep with you, but he won't feed you." Yao Dong shook his head, unconvinced. Besides, Big Xiao had such big, comfy pecs to bury his face in. Yao Dong loved a good chest pillow. Later, he discovered that you really could go hungry. Notes: * Tao Wenchang is completely straight. He's only here for the gossip, and no one could make him bend. * This is part of a sports series, but you can enjoy it without reading the other books. * Xiao Xing is genuinely poor. There's no plot about a rich heir slumming it to experience life. * None of the characters in the author's works are based on real people. * There is a secondary couple: Bai Yang and Tang Yu. * Happy ending. Please add the next novel to your reading list: I'm a Cutie, Who Are You? A gentle, older, cunning university professor top and a brash, crew-cut, tough, handsome bottom. Wang Ye owns a billiards hall. Usually, he has nothing to do but cross his legs and sunbathe. In his twenties, he got himself a boyfriend, only to end up with a jerk. His "matchmaker," a regular at the billiards hall, couldn't stand watching and started worrying about his love life. Matchmaker: "Brother Wang, let me introduce you to another great guy. Trust me, my nickname is Gay Cupid. Everyone in the gay community knows I'm good at bringing people together." Wang Ye was busy collecting money and didn't give it much thought. "Sure." Matchmaker: "So how should I describe you to him?" Wang Ye answered without thinking, making it up on the spot. "Just tell him I'm a cutie!" He thought the matchmaker was joking, but it turned out he'd actually said it, and had arranged for them to have dinner the next afternoon. The next day, Wang Ye hadn't intended to go in the first place. Then someone caused trouble at the billiards hall and he got into a fight. In the end, his good friend shoved him into a little restaurant and told him to just meet the guy once. He hadn't changed his clothes: his shirt was torn, his arm looked battered, and there were a few drops of blood on him. He didn't even bother to put on a friendly face. "I'm a cutie. Who are you?" He said that, drank a cup of tea, and left. After Wang Ye left, the matchmaker was mortified. "Professor Liu, he's not usually like this." Liu Yu, who'd come to the blind date, adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses and smiled subtly. "He really is a cutie. Very cute." The next day, Wang Ye was sunbathing outside the billiards hall to soothe his broken heart. He'd finally worked up the nerve to block his jerk of an ex when, from far away, he spotted a tall, elegant man in a suit walking toward him. By the time the man sat down in front of him, Wang Ye still couldn't remember where he'd seen that face. "Who are you?" Wang Ye asked warily. Liu Yu sat up straight and spoke unhurriedly. "I'd like to invite the cutie to dinner." Notes: The top changes. The top is eight years older. Or here's the blurb for this novel: Mermaid's Desires. Since you're here anyway, you might as well take a look. Mermaid top, human bottom. Mermaids are the ocean's apex predators, with tails up to two meters long and voices that bewitch the soul. Their diet includes every kind of marine life, including the occasional human who strays into their territory. Unluckily for him, Xia Yu fell into the sea and was mysteriously rescued. He'd forgotten that he'd saved a little fish when he was eight, but the fish hadn't forgotten. Bottom's perspective: Xia Yu had loved mermaid stories since childhood, imagining that one day a soft, adorable little mermaid would come looking for him, holding pearl-like tears in its hands. It would surely have a soft, iridescent gradient tail and be unable to survive on land, so he'd have to protect it. One day, his stepfather's son arrived. From then on, whenever Mo An approached the fishpond, every fish in it trembled and hid in a corner, refusing to come out even for food. Not long afterward, Xia Yu saw Mo An's pitch-black tear film, sharp ear fins, and hard elbow fins. He was so scared he couldn't move. "You're actually... a mermaid?" Mo An: "Yes, and I'm hungry for you." Theme: Love each other well, and have the courage to win gold medals.
