[Sweet Romance] [College Campus] [Bickering Couple] [Enemies-to-Lovers]
[Serious, gentle, and absentminded bottom x arrogant, sharp-tongued top who eventually falls hard]
Chi Yiren is good-looking, steady, and quiet. He takes everything seriously and always seems like a high-IQ model student.
But nobody knows that he often gets flustered and has a terrible memory.
He seems steady because he's slow on the uptake, and quiet because his mind wanders. His usual intelligence and diligence are the result of careful preparation, like a machine imitating a human. Whenever he encounters something he doesn't know, he'll search for the answer himself if he can, and never ask anyone.
Lu Shengzhou is cocky and rebellious. He has never liked dealing with dull people like that, and ever since high school, the two of them have often clashed and gotten on each other's nerves.
Then one day, an unexpected mishap forced Chi Yi to use Lu Shengzhou's computer.
And something strange happened:
The browser's search history started syncing automatically with the computer!
At first, the search history was ordinary stuff: "Can you eat persimmons and watermelon together?" "An analysis of drawing structure" "What should I do after arguing with my boyfriend?" "How to show someone your gratitude" "An analysis of the human body's xx details" "How do you untangle a jellyfish?" "Is it necessary to join a club?" "How can I stop being nervous when speaking onstage?" "How do I respond when someone says I'm good-looking?" "Human proportions practice"
Lu Shengzhou: ...A human-shaped machine.
Lu Shengzhou thought he could never possibly like someone like Chi Yi. He was just too boring.
But as time passed, when the search history started looking suspicious, Lu Shengzhou began acting suspicious too.
When "What's the best way to break up?" appeared, Lu Shengzhou couldn't help paying attention.
When "What should I do if I'm sick and can't sleep?" appeared, Lu Shengzhou found indirect ways to show concern.
When "Bilibili advanced mathematics..." appeared, Lu Shengzhou brought him study materials at the library.
When "How do I get the new xx milk tea?" appeared, Lu Shengzhou traveled several kilometers to deliver it, still warm from his hands.
Chi Yi: He really gets me. (rubs chin)
Until the search history showed "What should I do if my ex-boyfriend wants to get back together?" "What should I do if a coworker confesses to me?" and "ht□*taboo/*arousal□wallpaper*".
Lu Shengzhou couldn't sit still anymore.
After that:
"What should I do if I get flustered during a normal conversation?" "What kind of illness makes me blush all the time?" "What should I do if I suspect my friend is gay?" "How can I tell if my friend likes me?" ...
And later:
"How can I sober up quickly after drinking?" "100 everyday things couples do together?" "How should I clean up beforehand?" "How do you use a byt?" "How do you correctly xxx?" ...
[Bonus Scene]
Chi Yi is a fairly well-known online artist. Besides taking commissions, he has a secret hobby: he likes to quietly draw fan art for the explicit stories he enjoys reading. He thought nobody knew, until...
One night, Chi Yi was lost in a mixture of intense shame and pleasure. In the midst of his secret excitement, his heart pounded wildly as he looked at Lu Shengzhou, the corners of his eyes damp and red.
"Who was it that went out of their way to save that and draw it, too?" Lu Shengzhou's voice was low and husky. Leaning between Chi Yi's knees, he spoke slowly, one word at a time: "Chi Yi, so this is what you like?"
Chi Yi wanted nothing more than to disappear into a crack in the floor: !!!
[Browser OS: Fine, fine, you two are incredible. Who could possibly keep up with you...?]
Reader's Guide:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, fictional modern setting. The bottom only dated his ex-boyfriend.
2. Inspired by a spur-of-the-moment idea. It's short, a little writing exercise to lift my mood, and a brainwave jotted down as a memo. The plot doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Honestly, I just wanted to indulge in some delicious, random kinks, so I cooked up a whole plate of dumplings just for the vinegar.
