Who Taught You to Act So Cute?

My new novel, What Should I Do About My Desk Mate's Crying?, is currently being serialized. The blurb is at the end. Click my author page to read it.

This novel will be completed and enter paid serialization on Wednesday, July 3.

Gentle, doting CEO top A, Liang Jiayi × proud, straightforward young master bottom O, Shen Ke

Not a traditional raising-up story; childhood friends

Blurb:

Fengjing is crawling with powerful people. Everywhere you look, there are people you can't afford to offend. Even an ant has to look down and check whose land it's walking on.

Bairui International has stood firm in Fengjing for decades not only because of its own strength, but also because of its tangled ties with Boheng Tech.

As Bairui International's young master, Shen Ke is protected by his parents and older siblings, and surrounded by a pack of "bad influences." No wonder he grew up proud and pampered, unable to tolerate even the slightest grievance.

Liang Jiayi is Boheng Tech's heir: young, accomplished, disciplined, and courteous. He is a few years older than Shen Ke.

Liang Jiayi was already being clung to by Shen Ke when the boy was still a toddler. He wanted to be carried after walking a few steps, needed a kiss to make a scraped knee feel better, and would bat his big eyes at Liang Jiayi whenever he got into trouble.

Everyone in their circle said Liang Jiayi was more like Shen Ke's father than his own dad. He took care of everything, from what Shen Ke ate and wore to where he lived and how he got around. He was equally at home at a dinner party or in a classroom, and practically spoiled Shen Ke to the heavens.

Liang Jiayi rubbed his forehead. The little brat had been spoiled rotten. He was sweet-talking and shameless with strangers, and no one could punish or scold him. He only listened to a few things Liang Jiayi said; everyone else might as well have been talking nonsense...

That's how Shen Ke grew up, bright and lively, until he turned eighteen. His naturally flamboyant personality hardly seemed like that of an omega.

Except when he was with Liang Jiayi--

The fair, handsome young man wrapped his arms around the dashing man's neck. One smile could melt anyone's heart, and a single "Brother Jiayi" made Liang Jiayi want to bring him everything best in the world.

There was just one thing that left Liang Jiayi helpless: Shen Ke was far too fond of acting cute.

"Brother Jiayi, I only got mad because I missed you so much."

"Brother Jiayi, want to take a bath together?"

"Brother Jiayi, you smell so nice!"

Liang Jiayi bent down and silenced the little brat's endless chatter with a kiss. In a husky voice, he asked, "You're so noisy. Have you finished your homework?"

Shen Ke: "?"

Liang Jiayi, are you even capable?

[Extra Scene]

After a temporary marking one time, Shen Ke slumped listlessly against Liang Jiayi and grumbled in a muffled voice, "When can we have a permanent mark? I'm already an adult!"

Liang Jiayi kept a straight face. "When you go to college."

When he saw Shen Ke staring at him expectantly and running his hands all over him, Liang Jiayi couldn't bear to look. He turned Shen Ke's head with one hand and restrained his hand with the other, warning him, "Shen Keke, you're too young to be this wanton!"

"..."

What Should I Do About My Desk Mate's Crying?

Ji Minyu hates tears more than anything, but his new deskmate is very good at crying.

Cheerful, sharp-tongued, with lots of inner monologue and pretending to be sunny × cold, reserved, easily moved to tears, and truly tsundere

[Blurb]

Transfer student Ji Minyu has a naturally smiling face.

To fit in with his new classmates as quickly as possible, he keeps up a sunny, cheerful persona, showing respect to his teachers, befriending his classmates, and making an effort to socialize.

Luckily, all the students around him are warm and friendly, and the teachers are kind. Ji Minyu fits right in, and even starts liking his BKing deskmate a little more.

Though his deskmate is proud, cold, and taciturn, his constantly expressionless face is so obviously an act.

Until one day, a sudden storm raged outside, and the two of them found themselves facing each other in a dim room.

Qin Xiao's nose was red, and tears still clung to his lashes. "Are you done looking?"

Ji Minyu swallowed. "Yeah... It was pretty nice."
