Qin Ye, a straight-as-an-arrow guy standing 193 centimeters tall, had been especially popular with other boys since middle school. After being pursued by a whole crowd of guys, he was fed up and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received his admission letter from a top university far from home.
After he left, his good friend, who was living abroad, asked him to look after his younger brother when he had time. The kid had always been in poor health, was rather introverted, and didn't have many friends.
Qin Ye readily agreed.
When the appointed time came, Qin Ye sat in a cafe, drinking coffee as he called his good friend. "I remember your younger brother is in middle school, right?"
His friend sounded surprised. "Who told you that? My younger brother just started college this year too."
Qin Ye choked on his coffee. He'd thought the other guy was a kid. If they were the same age, he was an adult, so did Qin Ye still need to...
"Look after him?" Before he could finish, a slender young man with skin so pale it hardly looked real walked in wearing a mask.
The young man came over to Qin Ye and took off his mask, revealing exquisite, beautiful features. He looked shy, and his voice was soft too. "Excuse me... are you a friend of my brother, XX?"
Qin Ye froze for three seconds, then turned his head and coughed twice. As for looking after him... maybe that wouldn't be so bad.
Wen Zhiyu was slow to warm up and a little socially anxious. He'd been in poor health since childhood and didn't like going out much. His greatest passion was painting, and he majored in fine arts in college.
When Wen Zhiyu first saw Qin Ye, the only thought in his mind was that he had found the perfect solution to his desperate search for a model.
To avoid failing his art group's assignment, Wen Zhiyu stammered his way through an attempt to get closer to Qin Ye. But then
Wen Zhiyu invited Qin Ye to dinner, and Qin Ye spent the whole time asking which ingredients he couldn't eat in case he had an allergy;
Wen Zhiyu invited Qin Ye to the beach, and Qin Ye packed nothing but the medicine Wen Zhiyu might need in an emergency;
Wen Zhiyu had an asthma attack on his way to find Qin Ye after class, and Qin Ye carried him all the way to the infirmary...
After all that, Wen Zhiyu hadn't even managed to make his invitation, yet Qin Ye was already taking meticulous care of him.
With the deadline drawing closer, Wen Zhiyu finally made up his mind. He invited Qin Ye to his place to look at his paintings, planning to make his request while he was there.
The young man stood before Qin Ye, head slightly lowered, cheeks red, and mumbled softly, "Um, excuse me... would you be my..."
Qin Ye cut him off before he could finish. "Sure. Let's officially start dating!"
Wen Zhiyu's eyes went wide with shock
Huh? You misunderstood! I just wanted to ask you to be my model!
