He Always Pretends He Can't Hear

[New Novel: The Little Mute Can't Be Anyone's Wife is now available]

Sunny puppy shou x aloof, hearing-impaired academic ace seme

One sunny afternoon, Lin Ting suddenly awakened to the truth.

He was a minor bully in a school novel. His domineering, rude personality had made him a lot of enemies, and he was ultimately headed for a tragic end: his family destroyed and his life ruined.

The worst part was that the male lead, Xia Tuchuan, was right there. When Lin Ting awakened, he was grabbing Xia Tuchuan by the collar, ready to pick a fight, while Xia Tuchuan's hearing aids lay on the ground.

He was so screwed. Wasn't this just asking for ruin?

Lin Ting immediately let go, picked up the hearing aids, and handed them to Xia Tuchuan with both hands. Then he and his lackeys beat a hasty retreat.

Unfortunately, Xia Tuchuan was in his class. The students had always ostracized him because his family was poor, he had transferred in halfway through the term, and he was disabled.

To avoid his own tragic fate, Lin Ting decided to suck up to... no, protect Xia Tuchuan and become his friend.

That way, once Xia Tuchuan made something of himself, he might spare Lin Ting's life for old times' sake.

And so, as if possessed, Lin Ting started doing everything he could to please Xia Tuchuan, including but not limited to:

Bringing Xia Tuchuan breakfast;

Speaking up when someone misunderstood Xia Tuchuan;

When Xia Tuchuan was short on money, shamelessly asking him for tutoring and then paying him three times the going rate;

Taking Xia Tuchuan home during the holidays when he had nowhere else to go;

Taking care of Xia Tuchuan when he was sick;

Taking Xia Tuchuan to get the best hearing aids available, and so on.

Watching Xia Tuchuan grow closer and closer to him, Lin Ting could practically see his bright future ahead.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Xia Tuchuan started acting very strangely, including but not limited to:

Not letting him go out alone with other people;

Not letting him deliver love letters from other girls to Xia Tuchuan;

Not letting him leave Xia Tuchuan behind;

Not letting him apply to a different university.

Seeing the feelings almost overflowing from Xia Tuchuan's eyes, even Lin Ting finally caught on.

He started avoiding him and running away, but whenever he saw Xia Tuchuan looking at him pitifully, he couldn't help softening.

After the graduation ceremony, Xia Tuchuan suddenly pinned him against the wall. Lin Ting's mind was in turmoil. "Xia Tuchuan, calm down. You're drunk."

Xia Tuchuan lowered his eyes, gazing at him through a haze. His voice was low and seductive. "I'm not drunk."

Then he kissed Lin Ting on the lips. Lin Ting used every bit of strength he had to push him away, his face full of horror. "Don't do this. I'm really not into you."

Xia Tuchuan casually took off his hearing aids and put them in Lin Ting's pocket. Then he pointed to his ears and shook his head to show that he couldn't hear, before kissing Lin Ting passionately.

Lin Ting: "..." This was bad. How had things suddenly gone so off track?

The Little Mute Can't Be Anyone's Wife

Synopsis:

A two-faced, refined scum seme x a beautiful, pampered little mute shou

When Xu Wu and Yan Sui met for the first time, Xu Wu was holding his parents' urns, looking pitiful and disheveled, while Yan Sui stood before him in a suit, his expression cold.

Yan Sui was Xu Wu's fiance, a match arranged by their grandfathers, so Xu Wu had never met him before.

Yan Sui was five years older than Xu Wu, the heir to the Yan family, and the head of Fengyuan Group.

Xu Wu hadn't taken the engagement seriously, but after he arrived at the Yan home, Yan Sui's mother told him, "Wu Wu, make yourself at home here. Once you're old enough, you and Xiao Sui can get married."

Xu Wu glanced at Yan Sui's cold expression and silently hugged the urns tighter.

I'm just a little mute. I can't be anyone's wife.

Xu Wu could tell from their first meeting that Yan Sui didn't like him.

But as time went by, Xu Wu realized he had been wrong again...

Yan Sui was incredibly wicked. At first, he'd been cold and distant, but after discovering that Xu Wu could speak, he found new ways to torment him every day, forcing him to talk.

When Xu Wu couldn't take it anymore, Yan Sui would kiss him and coax him. "Baby, say something for me."

Xu Wu viciously bit Yan Sui and forced a hoarse word out of his throat. "Get lost..."

Yan Sui smiled and pressed close to him, looking thoroughly satisfied. "That sounded lovely. Keep insulting me, sweetheart."

Xu Wu: "..."

Pervert!

*Content note
