A college campus story
[Natural, straightforward, irresistible bottom x tsundere, straight "dad"-type top]
Also known as: "I Want the Foreigners to 'Die'"
The title and blurb might get a few small tweaks, but the general idea won't change.
Shen Bai thought getting 423 on the CET-6 was bad enough, until he had a dream the day before his sophomore year began: if he didn't pass the CET-6 before his junior year, he would become a character in the novel he'd written.
Shen Bai scoffed. He didn't write anything serious. After getting his CET-6 score, he'd been so furious that he started posting English-title stories online. Every day, he posted irresistible-romance content to attract readers, only to spring an English word on them right when the plot reached its most exciting, nail-biting moment.
Comments: [Knowledge has entered my brain through a truly despicable method.]
People in the comments called him a clickbaiter, but seeing them unwillingly absorb all that knowledge made him feel great.
He also attracted plenty of "followers" with his supposedly "extensive reading," including works from various popular web-novel platforms.
Watching netizens fall for his tricks, Shen Bai successfully built his own happiness on other people's misery, making himself even happier.
Who knew that when the semester began, the emotional scenarios he'd written one by one would start coming true? He had become the irresistible one?! Shen Bai suddenly realized: Right, he'd written his novel in first person!
A neat-freak, tall athlete with broad shoulders and long legs, who calls the arts student a weakling with no muscles and looks down on him every chance he gets: "With those skinny arms and legs, your waist is even smaller than my thigh."
Until, after basketball practice, he starts taking the towel Shen Bai gives him and tries to sneak sips from Shen Bai's water bottle. When caught, he brazenly insists that the water tastes sweeter after Shen Bai has drunk from it.
Shen Bai thinks: That towel was for my roommate! And the water tastes sweet because I put honey in it!
An elite student council president who wears silver-rimmed glasses and usually looks aloof and refined. The moment he sees Shen Bai wearing a short skirt for a club event, he turns on him, calls him shameless, and says in a stiff, cold voice: "Who would buy a skirt like that for no reason?"
Until one day, Shen Bai discovers that this guy is the pervert who's been sending him packages of short skirts, none of them ever reaching below the knee.
Shen Bai frowns: What a freak. (Grumbling angrily.)
A scheming junior, a golden-haired French-Chinese puppy, calls Shen Bai his ideal type the first time they meet. He's his muse, the source of all his inspiration, and he says every time that he can't create anything without him.
When he sees the others, he puts on a pitiful face and says, "You guys don't mind me taking up so much of his time, do you? Sorry, I'm still young."
The other three: ...
Shen Bai backs away again and again: No emotional manipulation! If you can't graduate, don't blame me!
His straight-laced, chaste roommate has eight-pack abs and a perfect build. He never unbuttons the top button of his shirt, yet constantly criticizes Shen Bai's stylish clothes with a heavy-handed, fatherly air.
But then he starts acting strange too, putting an arm around him and hugging him. Sometimes he comes out of the shower bare-chested and says, "I could be your model." He even blushes and tugs at the gray sweatpants below his waist as he says, "I'd be okay with going completely naked."
Shen Bai gets angry, then gets a little angry again, and decides to study for the CET-6: "Abandon, abandon, give up, give up."
(With a vacant stare.)
Shen Bai stares blankly at his English study app, fancifully wondering: If I start writing a historical livestream story now, could I bring the ancient ancestors back to life and make the whole world speak one language?
Natural, straightforward beauty of a bottom x reserved, tsundere, dad-type top
[Notes for readers]
1. This is not a story where you choose which guy to root for. The top is his roommate, and this is a monogamous pairing with both leads sexually inexperienced.
2. The bottom really is a beauty. The top only acts like a "dad" to attract attention; it's just a little trick straight guys use.
3. The others don't like the bottom because of the novels he wrote. They only think that way because they got the wrong idea about him from the start.
4. The CET-6 doesn't play a major role in the story; it's just a running gag, but English words do appear.
Theme: Study hard and keep improving.
