I'm Super Well-Behaved, I Just Pretend [Esports]

[This novel is complete and published exclusively on Jinjiang Literature City. It has not been authorized for publication on any other platform. Please support the official version!]

Xie Zhou used to be a streamer: shameless, flirtatious, and a total jerk.

Now he's changed completely, becoming obedient, sweet, and proper. He even gets embarrassed.

It all started when Xie Zhou joined the SIZE team to play professionally.

His fans were devastated: "Have you lost your mind? Give us back our normal streamer!"

But Xie Zhou knew he was perfectly clearheaded.

Xie Zhou: Spending every day with my idol, Zhong Xushi, is a dream come true.

So as soon as he joined the team, he mapped out his "game plan."

"My idol seems like a serious, proper guy. He probably likes well-behaved, respectable people, too. So I have to be respectable, even if I have to fake it!"

And so he acted sweet and meek, buttered his idol up, and kept switching between his secret identity as a good boy and shamelessly flirting with him.

Xie Zhou: (Nailed it.)

-

Zhong Xushi soon realized that his new teammate, Xie Zhou, was exceptionally talented and a strong player. He was also Zhong's fan, and...

The little fan, whose streams were shameless and provocative, was surprisingly innocent around him.

Even more surprising, Xie Zhou seemed to wholeheartedly believe the media's portrayal of him as a "proper gentleman."

After some thought, Zhong Xushi decided: I'll play along.

-

Later, Xie Zhou realized that acting proper was incredibly hard. You couldn't keep bottling yourself up forever; after a while, your hands and your heart started to itch.

At last, he couldn't hold back anymore. He pretended to get drunk, then clung to his idol, hugging and kissing him, doing everything his good-boy persona wouldn't let him do.

Xie Zhou had it all figured out:

I'm drunk. If he pushes me away, I'll just cling to him. Drunk people don't have to be reasonable.

Being drunk doesn't mean I mean it, so when I wake up, I can deny everything and it'll be all good. (Nailed it, take two.)

But Zhong Xushi didn't push him away. He deepened the kiss instead.

Xie Zhou was stunned. Later, Zhong Xushi cornered him in a room and leaned lazily against the wall. "Why are you pretending? I kind of like your old style, too."

Xie Zhou, blushing, thought: ...You should've said so sooner! Then I wouldn't have pretended!

Wait! Where's that huge good-boy secret identity I put on?

Xie Zhou hesitated: ...When did my secret identity get exposed?

Either way, spring had come for the SIZE team.

And spring had come for Xie Zhou, too.

Also known as: Did I Really Put on a Secret Identity? (doge)

Advance preview for His O Has Little Fangs:

A sweet Alpha-top/Omega-bottom romance about mutual healing.

Unless something unexpected happens, this will be the next book!

A once-powerful, beautiful but broken, fallen and unhinged top vs. a pampered, sunny young master bottom

Yu Guixian is a rare vampire Omega.

Other Omegas worry about their heat cycles. Yu Guixian frets over not being able to drink sweet blood, and has nearly gone bald trying to hide his little fangs.

Yu Guixian sniffles over his emergency blood bags, hungry and aching for a bite.

Then one day, Yu Guixian comes across a man in a school uniform, covered in blood.

The man stands at the mouth of an alley, one hand braced against the wall, his cold eyes lowered.

He's the handsome, beautiful Omega from the class next door, the one who always keeps to himself.

Hiding around the corner, Yu Guixian inhales in shock: This blood smells so sweet!

To get his hands on that blood...

Yu Guixian decides to follow him every day and work like crazy to win his favor!

-

Ding Yiqi was born into a wealthy family, but when a doctor determined that he would present as an Omega, his biological father came to despise him and his relatives shunned him. Abandoned by everyone, he grew cold and sinister. Yet he was also brilliant, perceptive, and ruthless...

Others saw him as a monster, fearing and hating him.

Ding Yiqi didn't care, and treated everyone else like dirt.

Because he had discovered that he had always been an Alpha with unstable pheromones.

He would take back everything.

He would make them suffer, and make them pay in blood.

Everything was going according to plan.

Until one day...

The pampered young master of the Yu family, adored by everyone, wandered into his life.

The little Omega looked soft and fair, as though one hand could crush him. He was cheerful, lively, and innocent, smiling brightly at Ding Yiqi and following him around every day, standing up for him:

"Picking on an Omega is all you can do?"

"You'll get a demerit for causing trouble on campus."

"Leave him alone. If you've got the nerve, try getting past me."

At first, Ding Yiqi treated him coldly, thinking he could be useful.

Later, when Yu Guixian wanted to drink blood, Ding Yiqi offered his own.

But Ding Yiqi thought sharply and cruelly:

If you drink my blood, then you belong to me.

Don't even think about escaping.

-

It wasn't until later that Yu Guixian realized the room was filled with the powerful, oppressive pheromones of an Alpha.

The other man had his teeth at the gland on the back of Yu Guixian's neck, laughing softly through clenched teeth. "Little flirtatious Omega, if you don't want those fangs, you can donate them."

Two small, fresh bite marks were still visible on the man's shoulder.

He was an Alpha...

Yu Guixian's scalp prickled. ...QAQ I let my guard down. Didn't dodge in time!

After being marked, Yu Guixian's whole body went limp, and he toppled onto the bed. Even as his mind grew hazy, one thought came to him:

That sweet blood is all mine now?! Yay!

[An Alpha and Omega save each other. The bottom flirts with the top; the top pursues the bottom.]

[Bold and bright: The top has always been an Alpha.]

Theme: Strive to shine brightly.
