The Cute Immunity

This novel is complete, so dig in! The next novel I'll be working on is My Rival Turned Foolish, and Now I Have a Giant Pet. It's a goofy, sweet entertainment-industry romance. The blurb is at the very bottom. ------------ Blurb ------------ The neighbor brought home a young nephew, Xia You, exactly the type Shang Beilin disliked most: pale, soft, delicate, and utterly lacking in manliness. The neighbor said, "Xia You just started college here this year. Classes start tomorrow, so give him a ride." After Shang Beilin gave him that one ride, Xia You never got out of his car again. He trampled Shang Beilin's flowers, ate his food, and slept in his bed. Shang Beilin couldn't scold or yell at him. Raise his voice just a little, and Xia You would get scared and cry. He was like a porcelain doll, liable to shatter at any moment. Shang Beilin was very displeased. But then. He was a food delivery guy, a snack-stall vendor, a bartender, and even a contestant in a macho sandbag-carrying competition! Shang Beilin stared in shock at those slender arms, delicate as lotus roots, glistening with sweat and trembling as Xia You carried two sandbags, each taller than half his height, and sprinted across the beach at full speed beneath the blazing sun! Shang Beilin, utterly dumbfounded.jpg: "!!!" The next day, a little head poked around the door to his room. Xia You blinked up at him and said sweetly, "Big Brother~ I earned some money. I'll pay you back for this month's meals." "..." Shang Beilin quietly dug his fingers into his palm, raised his chin, and snapped, "Don't act cute. I'm immune to cuteness." That night, on an anonymous forum. # Is it normal to think another boy is cute? # How do I build up my immunity to cuteness? # If I can carry sandbags, will he love me? On a dark and stormy night, someone coaxed Xia You into warming up his bed. Huddled beneath the covers, Xia You looked close to tears. "Are we even that close?" Shang Beilin answered as if it were obvious. "No." Xia You struggled for a moment, then cautiously lifted the covers to peek at him and asked softly, "...Then could you at least put your pajamas on first?" 1. Unhinged top (Shang Beilin) vs. soft and adorable bottom (Xia You) 2. They fall for each other, dote on each other, and it's a sweet romance. 3. The leads are both immature, so please give them time to grow. 4. The top really is unhinged, domineering, and forceful. Don't read if that's not your thing. ------ Upcoming novel: My Rival Turned Foolish, and Now I Have a Giant Pet A few days ago, Lu Bianyan was a rich young master from a wealthy family, living a life of luxury and indulgence, able to call the wind and command the rain. The next day, his father froze his bank accounts under the pretext of "curing his spoiled ways" and kicked him into the entertainment industry. And so he debuted as a member of a group. The group leader was none other than his ill-fated childhood friend, Shen Jizhou. Shen Jizhou had never liked him and always treated him with an icy expression. They put on a show in front of their elders, but behind closed doors they were at each other's throats. Then, on the very first day after the group formed, Shen Jizhou caught him in the bathroom showing off a pair of extremely revealing shorts. Shen Jizhou looked at him as if he were an idiot. Lu Bianyan stood there with his pants in his hands, utterly bereft. "..." Fine. Either he or Shen Jizhou was going to die. But what goes around comes around. Right after that, he watched Shen Jizhou get knocked senseless when a stage light fell on him while he was nodding off... When Shen Jizhou woke up, his big eyes had turned into puppy eyes, and he was on the verge of tears. "It hurts. I want a hug~" Lu Bianyan felt as if an earthquake had struck his skull. The doctor said, "The patient has suffered a brain injury, causing intermittent memory disturbances and some behavioral changes." Lu Bianyan kicked away the person rubbing up against him and broke down. "He's already asking me to have his babies, and you call that a minor behavioral change?!" From then on: # A certain group leader begs for hugs on a bandmate's livestream # A certain group leader asks to share a bed with a bandmate late at night on a variety show, clutching a little pillow # Rumors that the group has a toxic atmosphere are fake. Haters, come out and apologize # Lu Bianyan hits the top of the annual trending search list and lands a major endorsement Holding the group leader in his arms, Lu Bianyan was speechless. "..." His plans to leave the entertainment industry had hit a serious setback. ------ Little bonus scene Even when he was lucid, Shen Jizhou used his supposed illness to push his luck. "The doctor said this is guided therapy. You have to go along with it." After being tormented day and night, Lu Bianyan had already made peace with it. He pressed a finger to Shen Jizhou's lips. "Going along with it is fine, but no kisses." Theme: Full of vitality and indestructible.
