Waiting for You to Come Online

Xie Yang is a first-year college student: an introvert who has social anxiety, is timid, and is well-behaved.

He was born with fair, delicate features and looks like he has a baby face.

Because he is quiet, shy, timid, and well-behaved, people often mistake him for being gay.

The boys around him keep their distance.

The truth is, he really is gay.

Xie Yang has had a crush for a long time on a boy who is strikingly handsome, excels at school, and comes from a good family. To Xie Yang, he is an unreachable moon.

The only chance they ever had to interact came when his roommates needed one more player for a five-person game and asked him to fill in at the last minute.

Unfortunately, he was terrible at the game. He couldn't even understand the skills, and either wasted his ultimate or fed the other team.

At the end of the game, he heard the boy say, “Forget it. You guys play.”

Then Xie Yang was kicked out of the room.

One day, he happened to overhear the boy talking about him with his roommate.

“I don't remember him.”

“Not interested.”

“Not my type.”

And just like that, Xie Yang's crush came to an end.

By a twist of fate, the two met in a game while using secret identities. They grew fond of each other and started an online relationship.

After spending some time together, Xie Yang decided to come clean.

“I... I'm a guy.”

“That's fine. I like you, not your gender.”

“I... I'm really bad at games.”

“It's okay. Winning and losing don't matter.”

“I... I don't have the best personality.”

“I think you're adorable.”

By chance, Xie Yang discovered that his online boyfriend was actually the boy he'd had a crush on. Remembering what the other boy had said, Xie Yang ended their in-game relationship that very night and blocked him.

Much later, Xie Yang was cornered.

Pinned against the wall, he was kissed again and again. “Are you still breaking up with me?”

You never needed to chase the moon. It will come to you.

Here's a preview of my new serial, He Ran Off With Their Baby After the Divorce

Blurb:

Xu Wanxing is the illegitimate son of the Xu family, who grew up outside the household.

After his mother died, he was brought back to the Xu family and became their second young master. His father also arranged for him to marry Huo Yuan, an Alpha with an pheromone disorder and heir to the Huo Group.

No one had faith in this political marriage. People in their circle were even waiting to see when Huo Yuan would throw him out.

Xu Wanxing moved into the cage Huo Yuan had carefully built for him, accompanying him to every meticulously planned banquet.

When their marriage contract ended, an accident brought their marriage of convenience to an end.

His hands were bound to the headboard with a tie, while the Alpha in rut marked the gland at the back of his neck again and again.

His soft sobs became a lethal poison to the Alpha, who coaxed him over and over to release his Omega pheromones.

“Wifey, how about I give you a permanent mark?”

After the rut ended, the two returned to normal.

Huo Yuan looked at the divorce agreement on the table. After a long silence, he finally heard himself ask, “Do we still have to get divorced?”

Xu Wanxing silently signed his name.

The rain poured that day. Huo Yuan didn't notice that Xu Wanxing kept one hand over his slightly rounded belly.

Theme: A match made online is a thread of fate. Cherish the bond you share.
