Brother, Brother, I Want to Kiss You

Jin Luozhou and Liang Dongning have been close friends since high school. They know all about each other's past relationships.

Jin Luozhou happened to be single, and Liang Dongning had just broken up with his ex. One night, after a little too much to drink, they ended up in bed together.

The next morning, the two of them lay side by side in bed, speechless for five minutes before they found their voices again.

Liang Dongning: Don't tell me you've had a crush on me all this time.

Jin Luozhou: Get lost. I'm straight.

Liang Dongning: Sure, whatever you say. If you did turn gay, wouldn't I be the one responsible? Besides, you're not my type.

Jin Luozhou: ? As if I'd be interested in you.

To preserve their fragile friendship, which was no longer quite so innocent, Liang Dongning and Jin Luozhou agreed that it would be best to forget that night and take some time to cool off.

But in less than a month, they ended up in bed together again, just as easily as before.

The next morning.

Liang Dongning: So what are we now?

Jin Luozhou: Friends and family.

Liang Dongning: ...

Liang Dongning: So you're the sleeping beauty, then. What a bargain, baby.

Jin Luozhou: ... Go die, you narcissist.

A cool, prickly bottom with lots of inner monologue x a sharp-tongued beauty of an aloof, icy top

A low-pressure story to get back into writing and find my groove. Best friends become lovers. Their usual dynamic is trading snarky insults, though the top is usually the one who starts it, yeah, yeah.

Both are each other's firsts, but they've both had exes. Those aren't important.

Please don't offer writing advice. I may delete comments from people telling me how to write.

[If you can't accept protagonists with flaws, please don't read. If you expect protagonists to always be morally righteous, blameless, and perfect, please don't read. If you're a fan who gets extremely biased toward one protagonist and keeps insulting the other, please don't read. The couple's arguments and squabbles are all part of the fun. The author is just a shipper. Please leave me alone, ahhh!]

Preorder: "The Ice-Cold Top Always Wants to Speak"

After getting drunk at a business dinner, Fu Ronghe woke up to the fact that he and his boyfriend, Shen Mingyan, were the leads of a melodramatic danmei novel.

Shen Mingyan was a spoiled, demanding bottom.

And Fu Ronghe was the legendary ice-cold top who never said a word.

Whenever a misunderstanding arose, some mysterious force would grip Fu Ronghe's throat, keeping him from explaining himself at the crucial moment.

This included, but wasn't limited to, his phone malfunctioning or his voice disappearing.

Clueless, Shen Mingyan got mad at him time and time again. In the end, disheartened, he took a break from their relationship and went abroad to study, where he stayed for three years.

Fu Ronghe: Baojuan, my voi...

Never mind. Who says you have to speak to get your point across?

Shen Mingyan and Fu Ronghe had been dating for almost four years.

They met in high school and promised to attend the same prestigious university. They made it in and started dating. They were each other's first love.

A lot of people envied their relationship. Only Shen Mingyan knew Fu Ronghe's biggest flaw: he was taciturn and spoke as if every word cost him money.

On the day Shen Mingyan left to study abroad, Fu Ronghe rushed to the airport, brow furrowed.

Thinking this time he would finally say something nice, Shen Mingyan watched him pull out a writing board in front of everyone and write, "I'll wait for you to come back."

The airport's official account posted: "Speech-impaired boyfriend gives a heartfelt, silent farewell at the security gate. His wordless confession brings us to tears. Best wishes to this low-key couple!"

That day, the post went viral on social media: 6

Shen Mingyan: "..."

Two months later, Fu Ronghe flew abroad for Shen Mingyan's birthday.

At the birthday party, he ran into a rival in love, who taunted him.

"Hah, what is it, cat got your tongue? A country bumpkin like you, who can't even speak English properly, doesn't deserve Mingyan."

Fu Ronghe looked dejected and used sign language.

That night, the rival went home thinking, I'm the worst! A man like that even came all the way abroad by himself. They must truly love each other.

Then he messaged Shen Mingyan: You have to treasure a good man! It's not easy for someone with a disability like him to be with an able-bodied person!

Shen Mingyan: "..."

-

Shen Mingyan noticed Fu Ronghe was coming up with more and more ways to get his message across.

When Shen Mingyan got up early and opened the window, Fu Ronghe wrote "Baby, don't be mad" on the glass with his finger.

When they went out, Fu Ronghe rode in the passenger seat of a big truck driving alongside Shen Mingyan's car. The LED screen on the side flashed the words "Baby, don't be mad" over and over.

One day, Shen Mingyan finally caught Fu Ronghe in the act and said sternly, "What other tricks have you got? Bring them all out."

The moment he finished speaking, enormous fireworks suddenly bloomed across the sky.

Five huge characters appeared in the fireworks.

"Baby, don't be mad."

Shen Mingyan: "..."

Either he'd gone crazy, or the whole world had.
