How Can I Win Over My Socially Anxious Wife Without Being Direct?

A socially anxious, broke little mukbang streamer bottom x a blunt, homophobic jock top who's a big, fierce dog

Small-town boy Yu Zao arrives for his first year of college. Faced with his tall, intimidating roommate, his social anxiety kicks in and he can hardly breathe.

Yu Zao trembles. This guy is practically a giant monster!

"Little bean, how come you're so tiny and skinny? Don't they feed you at home?"

"Wah..."

Yu Zao tucks his pointy chin against his chest, his face flushed red, not daring to resist the big hand on his head.

.

To earn money for living expenses, Yu Zao starts doing mukbangs and sharing snacks in his free time.

Hu Xiao brings over some braised beef shank from home and pushes Yu Zao's instant noodles aside. "Eat mine."

Yu Zao pouts, his eyes turning red. He lowers his head and murmurs, "B-but I like Little Raccoon noodles..."

Hu Xiao clicks his tongue. "If you eat any more junk food, I'll spank you! Finish this whole pound of beef!"

Yu Zao: "Wah..."

Yu Zao is shy and timid, so he can only accept the giant monster's food with tears in his eyes.

But little by little, Yu Zao realizes the giant monster isn't all that scary after all~

During one livestream, Hu Xiao snatches Yu Zao's spicy strips. "I swear, you can't handle spicy food, so why take a spicy snack sponsorship?"

Yu Zao protests, "The company is paying me..."

Hu Xiao angrily gives his little roommate's cheek a rub. "You want money more than you want to live? Leave it. I'll eat it for you."

Hu Xiao wolfs down ten pounds of spicy strips, then ends up in the emergency room in the middle of the night.

Yu Zao sobs uncontrollably at Hu Xiao's bedside.

In his miserable eighteen years, no one has ever loved him so passionately.

The giant monster loves him so much. He... he has to be brave too!!!

The boy blushes and tremulously kisses the corner of the man's lips.

"I-I like you too."

Hu Xiao is so startled that blood backs up into his IV.

"I think of you as a little brother..."

.

Hu Xiao has his eye on his little roommate.

The little guy is small, soft, and fair, with two sweet dimples when he smiles. He's completely smitten.

This is the little brother fate chose for him! Hu Xiao is straightforward: all he has to do is spoil him!

But one day, his brother of destiny confesses to him.

The homophobic Hu Xiao falls silent.

"Please note"

1. The bottom is poor and small from childhood malnutrition. He likes junk food and takes snack endorsements to earn money.

2. The top is very forward but homophobic, and doesn't realize he's in love. He's rather domineering and sometimes forces the bottom to eat properly for his own good.

3. Both characters have flaws and aren't perfect. They'll gradually learn to get along~

4. First love, sweet romance, first love, sweet romance, first love, sweet romance///Important, so I'm saying it three times.

Theme: Face your own feelings, in both life and love.
