Living with the Green-Tea Puppy Who Has a Crush on Me

* Secret-crush top gets exposed; amnesiac bottom. A sweet, fluffy story with no angst ^ ^

* Click to see a sly, manipulative green-tea top play innocent and slowly win him over ^_^~

Scheming, green-tea, self-pitying top x cold beauty professor bottom who responds to tenderness, not force

[Bottom's perspective]

Duan Lanyin is looking for a roommate.

Requirements:

1. Gentle personality;

2. Good character;

3. Bachelor's degree, GPA of at least 4.0 in college, and a top-three overall ranking. Internship experience is a plus.

His friend complained, "Professor Duan, are you choosing a roommate or a student? Nobody's going to apply!"

Duan Lanyin: ?

Oh. He'd pasted his graduate school admission requirements in the wrong place.

Unexpectedly, someone showed up the next day for an "interview."

The guy was 190 centimeters tall, with a buzz cut and a handsome but intimidating face. He had a bit of a bandit-like air about him and seemed about as "gentle" as could be.

Duan Lanyin was about to politely turn him down when the man took out his transcript and internship reports with impeccable courtesy. His voice was low but gentle. "Perfect grades, ranked first overall, three internships. Will that do?"

Duan Lanyin glanced at his certificates and transcript. "This isn't a graduate school interview. But sure, let's sign the lease."

No professor or academic advisor could refuse a student this eager to learn... No, a roommate this good. Nobody could.

*

At first, Duan Lanyin thought he'd found a roommate.

He never expected to bring home the sly little puppy who'd known him from before.

[Top's perspective]

Li Xu was born in a remote mountain village. He thought he'd spend his whole life rotting there until he received a scholarship.

That scholarship allowed him to study, leave the mountains, and begin a completely different life in a big city.

The person who sponsored him was named Duan Lanyin. Seven years ago, he had come to Li Xu's village for field research and found him lying in a field with a split-open head after being beaten.

From then on, through all the long nights spent touching his scar, Duan Lanyin's image was always there.

*

He never expected to meet Duan Lanyin again only to find that he'd lost his memory and forgotten him.

No matter. Li Xu would approach him again under a whole new identity.

He'd become a cat, then a tiger, then a drenched little puppy.

--Ha! He was done being human!

[Little scenes]

1.

The cheating scumbag meets Duan Lanyin.

In public:

Li Xu: Don't misunderstand my big brother. He just wants to take me home to look at the place, that's all.

In private:

Li Xu: If you don't get lost right now, I'll make sure you really have to crawl home.

Scumbag: You green-tea bastard.

Li Xu: You don't want those photos of you cheating circulating around your company, do you?

Scumbag: ...Wait, you're the one who reported my cheating?!

2.

After his secret identity is exposed, Duan Lanyin and Li Xu have their biggest fight.

Li Xu is thrown out of the house.

The next day, Duan Lanyin goes out and sees Li Xu waiting outside. He'd spent the whole night there.

Li Xu's eyes are red, and he hasn't slept a wink.

--Even if you abandon a puppy, it will just wait for you right where you left it.

"He crossed mountains and rivers, endured countless hardships,

just to come stand before you.

The next time you meet, remember:

don't push him away."

[Reader's guide]

1. The top is already an adult when he first meets the bottom. He's an older-than-usual student. (Huh?)

2. They both fall for each other. A scumbag appears, but he was never the bottom's ex! The story will explain.

3. The bottom lost his memory of the top after a car accident. His secret identity is revealed later, but there's no angst! A sweet, cozy story.

4. I'm trying my hand at a romance-focused story. I'll still finish it, and I appreciate your patience (bows).

5. Just to be clear: the top and bottom are not in a teacher-student relationship.

* This is my first try at a romance-focused story. I'll do my best to write something good. Before it becomes a paid story (if I'm lucky enough to reach that point), updates will follow the ranking schedule, or every other day if there isn't one. After that, updates will be daily. If you like it, please add it to your favorites ^3^

My Rival Turned Into a Dark, Mean Little Pet Pig

Sunny bottom x gloomy, crawling-on-the-ground top

Romantic idealist x pure hater

* The top has a secret crush (and might be a little unhinged)

[1]

At Linjiang No. 1 High School, Lin Huaizhu and Sheng Mingguang were the school's infamous rivals.

Lin Huaizhu came from a wealthy family and grew up surrounded by love. He shone his light unconditionally on everyone around him.

Sheng Mingguang came from a poor family and had been abandoned by his parents as a child. He was smart and handsome, but ruthless, short-tempered, and hard to deal with.

Someone interviewed the two rivals.

Lin Huaizhu: "Sheng Mingguang? Who's that?"

Everyone: ...?

Student A: Wow, they're really rivals. He won't even say the other guy's name.

Student B: Just as expected, contempt is the best form of disdain.

Student C: President, that's a brilliant move. Sheng Mingguang must be furious. (thumbs-up)

Sheng Mingguang: "Lin Huaizhu? I can't stand him."

Everyone: See? They're definitely rivals.

[2]

Then, at the start of the new school term, these rivals became deskmates.

Lin Huaizhu's WeChat profile picture was a little pig.

Sheng Mingguang walked past and said, "I hate pigs."

That night, Lin Huaizhu woke up to discover he'd turned into... a pet pig!

Wait, how had he become a miniature pig?!

As he panicked, a gentle voice suddenly called out,

"Piggy, I'm home."

Lin Huaizhu: ...?

Wait, why was that Sheng Mingguang?!

Sheng Mingguang came closer and closer. Lin Huaizhu felt a large hand gently stroke his back, then lift him up. He met those usually gloomy eyes.

But now, they were full of possessiveness.

"Piggy, your daddy looked so handsome today."

"He's still so handsome, so dazzling, so impossible to look away from."

Lin Huaizhu: O_o?

Why did he have a bad feeling about this...

The next second, Sheng Mingguang murmured,

"I really like Lin Huaizhu."

"How can I make Lin Huaizhu look only at me forever?"

Lin Huaizhu broke out in a cold sweat.

QAQ Help! There's a pervert...--

[3]

Sheng Mingguang had a beloved pet pig.

But the little pig had come down with a strange illness and was listless every day.

Then, suddenly, one day,

the pig perked up again. Before Sheng Mingguang could even celebrate, he realized something about it was strange.

It liked human food, especially spicy food;

it liked milk tea, and had to have a little X-brand Four Seasons Milk Green;

it liked red and grunted until Sheng Mingguang knitted it a red scarf;

it liked...

Everything Lin Huaizhu liked.

A bold guess surfaced in his mind.

His eyes narrowed with delighted menace.

[Reader's guide]

1. If I'm lucky enough to make this a paid story, updates will follow the ranking schedule before that, with 7,000 Chinese characters a week; after that, daily updates.

2. The bottom has a slight everyone-loves-him tendency. He's doted on by all, no angst, happy ending! The goal is a light, adorable, sweet story (fist pump).

3. The author has a terminal pig obsession. I'm already immersed in my own art, so just leave me alone (hey...)
