Yao Yao Will Take You to Pick the Stars

[Coming Soon in My Collection: He's So Well-Behaved [Reborn], Saving a Paranoid Villain [Book Transmigration]]

Ji Hanxing found a gaming partner in a game. They were the kind who only talked about the game, not feelings. She was sweet and soft, and just a little quiet. The only hero she knew how to play was Yao. When he was low on health, Yao would use her ultimate on him and say, “Don't be scared, big brother.” When he was being hunted, she would quickly shield him and say, “I'm here, big brother.” When Zhuge Liang used his ultimate on him, Yao would still unhesitatingly step in front of him and say, “I'll protect you, big brother.” Hearing “big brother” over and over was enough to make Ji Hanxing, a man who had sworn off love, think that maybe even an old tree could blossom.

One day, a popular streamer on Moonlight Live shot to the top of the trending searches. The reason: her skin was too pink, and she swore too viciously. Unable to resist his curiosity, Ji Hanxing clicked on the topic #ThePinkerTheSkinTheHarderTheInsults. In the video, a Da Qiao bearing his gaming partner's name was supporting her team in a Diamond-ranked match.

“I told you to let me jungle, but you wouldn't listen. Thanks to you, we could've won.”

“You won't even get inside the circle? Is my circle going to sully your noble body?”

“See that cat running around in my Da Qiao's skill? It stayed alive longer than you did.”

“Are you saving the tower for a demolition project later?”

“Your Jing is so bad, the developers buffed him overnight just because they saw you play.”

In the end, the popular streamer couldn't resist one last remark: “This jungler's even worse than my gaming partner.”

As soon as the chat mentioned her partner, the streamer clicked her tongue, looking disgusted but secretly delighted. She sat upright at her computer and replied in the most shameless way imaginable: “How bad is my partner? I'll just say this: my Yao's almost the best in the country. He didn't carry me. I carried him.”

Gu Qing had been in love with Ji Hanxing since college, but he was too timid to do anything about it, so it became a miserable, one-sided crush. Later, at a class reunion, Gu Qing got Ji Hanxing's contact information. He thought he'd start by adding him as a gaming friend, but then he saw the person he secretly adored leave a mysterious string of letters in the lobby: “cpdd.”

Gu Qing: Perfect. Now I can be his gaming partner.

To keep Ji Hanxing from finding out who he was, Gu Qing paid a fortune for a voice-changing setup. His sweet, soft voice left Ji Hanxing utterly besotted. Then one day, a low yet gentle male voice came through Ji Hanxing's headset: “Don't be scared, big brother.”

Ji Hanxing: I think I'm a little scared now...

Reading Notes:

1. Set in Honor of Kings.

2. The bottom is the top's idealized first love.

3. A timid (but only around the bottom) trash-talking streamer top x a clueless, terrible-at-the-game doctor bottom.

4. No real-life inspiration! No real-life inspiration! No real-life inspiration!

5. Climb the ranks, reach the stars, become a King. Go crazy at the peak, and become a god!

Coming Soon: He's So Well-Behaved [Reborn]

In Shi Ze's mind, Ye Ce had always been cruel and withdrawn. So in high school, he never dared even look at him. Then one day, he heard that Ye Ce had died in a car accident. At Ye Ce's funeral, a former classmate hesitantly handed Shi Ze several notebooks. It was only after he got home and opened them that he realized they were Ye Ce's diaries.

That's when Shi Ze learned that the person everyone at school had considered a monster and a lunatic had been quietly, carefully in love with him all along. Every word in those diaries was an expression of a man's love, buried so deep he could never say it aloud.

Everyone thought Ye Ce lived wildly and did as he pleased, ruthless in everything he did. But they didn't know that he had been sent to the dean's office countless times because of Shi Ze, that the vicious-looking scar on his arm was because of Shi Ze, or that he had broken his shin and ended up in a wheelchair during his senior year because of Shi Ze.

When Shi Ze opened his eyes again, he was back on the first day of high school. Ye Ce was still looking at him coldly, his tone hostile. “Get lost.”

Shi Ze fell silent for a moment, then gently tugged at Ye Ce's hand. “C-could I... not get lost?”

Once, Ye Ce leaned against a desk, watching Shi Ze walk down the hallway. He sighed and said to his friend, “I do like him, but he's too well-behaved. I don't dare touch him. I don't want to drag him into the mud.”

Ye Ce added, “He's too pure. He shines wherever he is, like someone who belongs in the sunlight, where everyone can see him.”

Then one night, Ye Ce saw Shi Ze kick a guy flying, pin the unfortunate bastard against a wall, and glare at him viciously. “You think you can harass me? Who the hell gave you the nerve?”

Ye Ce: “...”

The good boy in my eyes seems to have fists even harder than mine...

After Ye Ce had “accidentally” driven away Shi Ze's suitors for the umpteenth time, Shi Ze finally snapped.

He cornered Ye Ce at a turn in the stairwell and leaned close to his ear. His breath brushed the other boy's neck, almost deliberately. “Don't you like me? So what does it matter to you if I find someone else?”

But the usually ruthless boy's ears turned red. Looking at Shi Ze, he stammered, “Shi Ze, I like you, but you can't... bully me like this...”

Reading Notes:

1. The top falls in love with the bottom at first sight.

2. A withdrawn, ruthless school bully top x a “well-behaved” flirtatious academic bottom.

3. I'm still thinking about it...

Theme: Work hard, keep striving, reach for the top, and make your dreams come true!
