Absolute Depth

[Warning: Pure two-person show, the author is letting loose, the logic is buried, and if you aren't careful you'll dig a castle out of the floor with your toes. If that bothers you, don't read.]

[The upcoming novel, "Star-Stealing Plan," will begin soon. Please add it to your collection.]

During summer vacation, Shen Du went with a friend to a trendy tattoo shop. The owner had a face so handsome it made gods and men furious.

Long afterward, his friend was still talking about it with relish.

Then one day, for some reason, that friend suddenly messaged him: "What do you think tattoo artists do when they have nothing to do?"

Shen Du didn't see the message until several hours later. By then, he had one hand braced against his waist and was biting down on the bread the tattoo artist had handed him. He typed without expression: "They do me."

A male college student who hosts audio streams (bottom) x a tattoo artist who's a complete voice-control (top)

A story about a lamb walking into a wolf's den without realizing it. The top is a refined, secretly lascivious type who puts on quite an act early on. The bottom is vain and proud.

■ Just the two of them, no major plot, and things move fast. They get to the main event within a month, so don't read if that bothers you.

■ Reading note: Straight men don't keep insisting they're straight. Don't believe a word those "straight men" say.

★ Both are sexually inexperienced, older man/younger man, don't take it too seriously, go easy on the plot holes, and happy reading! [Heart]

Theme: Look up, keep moving forward, and don't look back.
