Just the Right Amount of Soft and Tough

Advance Notice: This Time, You Chase Me

[Lighthearted]

The protagonist's name is ridiculous, so just read for fun!

Che Qian has always hated his name. He can't help thinking his parents must have been joking when they named him. Otherwise, why would they give him a name like this?

He's a strapping six-foot man, and his name is Che Qian!

What? It doesn't sound like anything special? Then look at how it's written! What kind of character is that? It means soft! He's got eight-pack abs, so why should a tough guy like him be called soft!

He goes to the police station to change his name, but there he meets someone whose name sounds just as ridiculous as his.

However... when Che Qian sees the other man's name, he realizes it seems... a little better than his own.

Che Qian: "So, why are our names so..."

Shi Geng: "Well matched? I think so too."

Che Qian: "I meant, why do they sound so awful..."

Couple: 6'3" muscular policeman gong x 5'11" shou who thinks he's a tough guy

· My writing is amateurish, the pacing is seriously drawn out, and the story moves a little slowly.

Advance notice for a historical-to-modern transmigration novel, This Time, You Chase Me

You can also jump to it from my author page!

It's a spin-off about the secondary couple from Transmigrating into My Past Self!

Please add it to your collection (rolling around)

When Mu Hexu came to his senses, he realized he had transmigrated. He was standing beneath an overpass, looking at an excited middle-aged man, and feeling a little puzzled...

Why was this man so excited to see him?

Only later did Mu Hexu learn that he had come from more than nine hundred years ago to a time over two thousand years later. This world was no longer the one he had known.

Back in his era, people could dress properly and live in houses. Why did people in this age dress so shabbily, and even live... under bridges?

After the man had cleaned himself up, Mu Hexu realized... the man was actually quite handsome.

Then the man told him he was only twenty-five, and Mu Hexu was stunned!

Mu Hexu: "How did you manage to make yourself look fifty-two!"

Mo Bei: "Do I really look that old?"

Mu Hexu: "Yeah, and you look especially poor, too."

Mo Bei: "I am poor. Would you be willing to support me?"

So, had he come to this world to support this "fake" middle-aged man who slept under an overpass?

Later, when he learned why he had come here and why he had been brought here, Mu Hexu stopped minding the idea of "supporting" this "fake" middle-aged man.

After all, the man had saved his life.

Mo Bei: "If I could, I wouldn't have wanted to meet you this way, either."

Mu Hexu: "Then how would you have wanted to meet me?"

Mo Bei: "I wanted you to transmigrate straight into my bed."

Mu Hexu: "Heh. Get lost."
