Why Do I Always Blush?

[This novel enters VIP on the 28th. My next novel, My Master Is Way Too Good at Flirting [Reborn], is coming soon.]

Shao Tianyi's mother died.

Before the seven-day mourning period was even over, his father brought home another woman and a younger brother Shao Tianyi had never met.

From then on, Shao Tianyi went from a diligent, hardworking good student to a rebellious, arrogant little tyrant.

His teachers couldn't stand him, his classmates were afraid of him, and everyone treated him like a "cancer." His father scolded him every day, too.

Until that person appeared.

Not only did he put up with Shao Tianyi's temper and stubbornness, he also soothed him in a gentle voice:

"You're really angry, aren't you? Don't rush. I'll help you."

"If you want revenge, you need to climb high enough to crush them from above."

"I know you feel wronged. I'll stay with you."

Shao Tianyi felt a peace he hadn't known in a long time. Suddenly, color returned to his gray world.

He must be an angel, Shao Tianyi thought.

Xue Qi is the eldest young master of the Xue family. To repay a favor, he pretends to be a poor student working his way through school and tutors a kid.

Before long, Young Master Xue forgets all about the experience.

Eight years pass.

At a nightclub, Xue Qi's childhood friends celebrate his birthday and tease him for being so handsome they should pool their money to keep him.

It was only a joke, but at the corner of the hallway, the kid from all those years ago stops him, face bright red, and says, "Brother, I'll take care of you."

Xue Qi is stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips gradually curl up. "I'm expensive."

"That's fine!" Shao Tianyi puffs out his chest and declares, "Your young master here can afford you!"

My Master Is Way Too Good at Flirting [Reborn]: A teasing beauty on the receiving end x a blushing-at-the-slightest-flirtation top, with the disciple taking the initiative.

Chu Jue is the cultivation world's greatest beauty, renowned across the land.

His Dao companion is the greatest cultivator of the Mahayana realm in the world. Their union causes a sensation throughout the cultivation world.

But Chu Jue never imagined that his faithful and devoted Dao companion would shatter his golden core, seize his sect, and leave him to die after exhausting his spiritual essence.

Perhaps because he could not accept his fate, a wisp of his remaining consciousness attaches itself to a piece of companion jade. The jade belongs to an unremarkable disciple under his tutelage, someone he can barely remember.

For the next several years, he watches in astonishment as this disciple works tirelessly to cultivate for his sake, climbs to the top of the world for him, avenges him, goes mad from cultivation for him, and activates an ancient sealing formation for him, all to destroy heaven and earth and bring him back to life.

Then Chu Jue opens his eyes once more.

Everyone says Chu Jue and his Dao companion are a match made in heaven. Mu Yi thinks so, too.

He is simply heartbroken.

Chu Jue is not only beautiful, but also a master craftsman whose skill has been unmatched for centuries. Mu Yi spends his whole life chasing after Chu Jue. But no matter how hard he tries, all he can do is watch Chu Jue become someone else's Dao companion.

Then, overnight, Chu Jue calls off their plans to form a bond and announces that he will take a disciple and personally pass on his cultivation techniques.

Mu Yi is that disciple.

At their first close encounter, Mu Yi lies prostrate at Chu Jue's feet, not daring even to raise his head.

He keeps reminding himself that Chu Jue is his master! Even as his direct disciple, he must never indulge in impossible fantasies!

But reality keeps testing him.

Chu Jue has none of the airs of a master. Every day, he pulls Mu Yi along and says:

"A Yi, keep me company and talk with me."

"A Yi, come down the mountain with me."

"A Yi, look at me."

A Yi, A Yi, A Yi...

Mu Yi is going crazy. If this keeps up, he won't be able to hold back much longer.

Theme: As long as you work hard to become your best, you can love the other person no matter what.
