Stop Talking Nonsense!

📖 Signed for print publication in simplified Chinese. Updates at Jinjiang: Li Chengcheng

[Pure, flirtatious, sunny, deaf-and-mute sweetheart × talkative, clear-eyed college guy]

Yan Ning suffered an accident as a child. When he woke up, he couldn’t hear anything and had lost the ability to speak.

To make ends meet, he works as an assistant at a sign language class during the day and sells handmade dolls at a street stall in the shopping district at night.

A handsome street singer is always performing across from him.

Yan Ning can’t hear him, but selling things at his stall gets boring, so every day he props his chin in his hands and watches the man strum, reading his lips to work out the lyrics and pass the time.

Everyone has a hard time making a living, so every now and then he even drops five yuan into the man’s guitar case.

It’s a long time before he learns that the shopping district belongs to the singer’s family.

Lu Chengchen is a natural rebel who refuses to inherit his family’s throne. Even though he has no musical ear, he defies convention and becomes a singer.

He firmly believes he’s a musical genius.

Friend: People praise you because you’re handsome.

Lu Chengchen: You’re talking nonsense. The socially anxious stall owner across from me never talks to anyone, but he listens to me so intently! He hasn’t asked for my WeChat, but he looks at me like he’s smitten and even spends money on me. He’s definitely my devoted fan!

Friend: ( ° △ °|||) Wake up, man.

Lu Chengchen: (*￣︶￣) I have to fulfill my musical dream. I can’t let him down.

After getting a professional critique from his mentor, Lu Chengchen’s musical dream falls apart. One day, as the stall owner across the street is packing up, he can’t help grabbing him and pouring out all the pent-up feelings of youthful frustration and disappointment.

Yan Ning blinks at him, his bright eyes full of confusion.

The man is talking too fast and saying too much. Yan Ning can’t follow him.

In the end, Lu Chengchen accepts that the Chinese music scene has changed, goes home to inherit the throne, and supports his boyfriend.

Bonus scene:

One day, Lu Chengchen catches the stall owner ditching work to buy milk tea. “Ningning, treat me.”

Yan Ning, who controls the finances, gives him a sidelong glance, looks up to confirm he’s got the right idea, then rises onto his toes and decisively kisses him just below the corner of his mouth.

Lu Chengchen’s brain short-circuits. His face turns bright red, and he instinctively explains himself.

“I meant treat me to milk tea…”

Yan Ning looks confused, but still gives the milk tea he just bought a kiss.

When sweet words fail and promises mean nothing,

I’ll pack my fervent love as my luggage and run steadfastly toward you.

Reader’s guide:

◆ One-on-one romance, happy ending, mutual pampering.

◆ Pirated copies are incomplete. Please support the official release.

◇ The sweetheart can read lips with 90% accuracy. Because he takes time to process information, he can seem a little absentminded, but he isn’t a naive pushover. At first he can’t hear at all; his condition improves in the middle and later parts.

◆ The male lead isn’t the usual suave, idealized type. He’s clear-eyed, foolish, and earnest, a natural rebel with no real musical ambitions. He grows into a capable domineering CEO later on. His goal in life: take very good care of his wife.

◇ Extreme character-favoring, self-insert, or anti-pairing comments are prohibited in the comments. They’ll be deleted as soon as I see them.

Short version:

#Reborn, adopts nemesis as son, but gets the wrong person#

#Hires a bodyguard who gives me a strange look#

[High-and-mighty, cold beauty who looks at everyone like a dog, powerful sweetheart × absurdly devoted, “Hi, wife, I’m your dog,” strongest fighter in the world]

Synopsis:

As the world evolves, Yu Mian dies in a fierce battle alongside his longtime nemesis, Sikong Su. He is reborn years in the past.

With his seemingly cheat-like ability to “force people to sleep and read their minds,” Yu Mian once again becomes the arbiter of a human base, responsible for judging criminals and putting them down when necessary.

After rising to power, he makes a name for himself throughout the human base for his extraordinary beauty and vicious methods. To fight violence with violence, Yu Mian paroles the top criminal and makes him his enforcer.

Soon, he notices something strange about the man.

For instance, he always smiles when he gets slapped.

For instance, he looks at Yu Mian with burning excitement.

For instance, Yu Mian can’t read his mind.

The man’s unbelievable combat ability makes Yu Mian reluctant to replace him for now. He figures the guy is probably just a lovesick puppy, and he can kick him to the curb once he finds someone stronger.

Finally, one day, Yu Mian discovers the man’s true nature.

And with it, his sharp fangs…

Yu Mian wakes up covered in hickeys, his calves weak and his molars nearly ground to dust.

“Sikong Su, I’m gonna fucking, ”

“Sure, sure.”

“…”

The first thing Yu Mian does after regaining power is haul a badly wounded little boy out of an underground arena. The child is possibly his destined nemesis and the strongest combat-type esper, Sikong Su, in his boyhood, battered state.

The boy, adopted by Yu Mian, remains highly wary. He expects to be treated as a tool and thrown back into the arena, but discovers that this Yu Mian only does two things to him:

1. Adds the character “cao” to his name.

2. Gives him braids and a bun, and dresses him in skirts.

The behavior isn’t very harmful, but it’s extremely humiliating. Sikong Xiao spends every day plotting revenge, never expecting that once he recovers, Yu Mian will send him to the best school.

Yu Mian soon realizes the kid isn’t Sikong Su at all.

He adopted the wrong son and let a wolf in through the door.

The real Sikong Su has also been reborn. Right away, he breaks into a secret lab alone and carries off a boy on the operating table who looks like a pretty doll.

He gives him a new name: Yu Xing.

Now he sits next to Yu Mian’s adopted son, Sikong Xiao, in class, and the two are dating.

Theme: A young person’s spirit is something you can never get back.
