If you're interested, feel free to add it to your collection!] Cen Puze was taking an extended vacation when his younger sister dragged him into helping out at her milk tea shop in the university district. On his first day filling in, a tall, handsome blond man with blue eyes and mixed heritage came into the shop. The handsome man wore a cold expression, ordered a milk tea, and sat in the shop all day. After that, every day Cen Puze worked there, the man showed up right on time in the morning and left right on time at night. At first, Cen Puze thought he was using the shop as a study room. But gradually, he realized the guy seemed to keep sneaking glances at him. After a full half-month of furtive watching, one evening, the man who always left on time walked up to the counter. With an impossibly handsome face and an icy expression, he asked Cen Puze, "D-do you... have a boyfriend?" His voice trembled, and he stammered. Cen Puze thought the kid was pretty interesting, so he teased him. "I do." Who could have guessed that the man who had been so cold just a second ago would turn red-eyed and bolt on the spot? After that, he stopped coming. Well, if he didn't come, he didn't come. But a few days later, Cen Puze realized the kid hadn't stopped coming at all. He'd just switched from watching him inside the shop to watching him from outside. Whenever he got caught, he ran off like he was headed for the city marathon. Cen Puze watched him for a few days, picked an auspicious day, and caught him. When the kid still tried to run after being caught, Cen Puze said bluntly, "I don't have a boyfriend." The kid settled down and looked at him with red-rimmed eyes. Cen Puze grabbed him like a cat catching a mouse. "What were you going to say next? Here's your chance." The breathtakingly handsome mixed-race man stuttered and faltered, then tears streamed down his face in two bright lines. "Th-then... would you go out with me?" Cen Puze burst out laughing. Anyone watching would have thought he was begging Cen Puze to stop beating him. Still, the kid might have been a little weird, but he was pretty cute. So Cen Puze looked at that pleasingly handsome face and replied, "Sure. Let's date." A stunningly handsome man (25) who was absolutely certain he was a top, only to hit the biggest stumbling block of his life: the bottom A mixed-race beauty (18) who's a big crier and probably really does have something wrong with his head: the top A lighthearted, silly, sweet short-to-medium-length story about two younger men falling in love for the first time -- Blurb for the upcoming book The Childhood Friend Is a Brooding Male Ghost Type Zhu Xinjing moved in next door to You Chuyu when You Chuyu was seven. At the time, You Chuyu was heading out to play with his friends. He glanced curiously at the family that had just moved in and unexpectedly locked eyes with the gloomy-looking kid in the living room. From then on, Zhu Xinjing clung to him like a ghost haunting him. The newly arrived Zhu Xinjing never took the initiative to play with the neighborhood kids, yet he would always appear without warning wherever You Chuyu happened to be, like a ghost whose feet never touched the ground. As a child, Zhu Xinjing was so thin he looked gaunt. He had a gloomy air and a pair of large, dark eyes, making him the spitting image of the terrifying ghost child in a horror movie. After he moved in, he became the nightmare of every kid in the alley. By an unfortunate twist of fate, You Chuyu accidentally hurt Zhu Xinjing and had to take responsibility for looking after him. After spending some time alone together, You Chuyu discovered that although Zhu Xinjing looked scary and had a strange personality, he wasn't a bad person at all. He was even quite easygoing. Since their houses were right next to each other, the two gradually became friends. After he and Zhu Xinjing became inseparable, You Chuyu was constantly asked all sorts of questions by different people. At first, they were all things like: "You Chuyu, you're so brave. How can you bear to be friends with Zhu Xinjing?" "You Chuyu, don't you have nightmares after seeing Zhu Xinjing at night?" "You Chuyu, is Zhu Xinjing a person or a ghost?" You Chuyu would calmly reply: "You don't understand. He's just a little scary-looking and a little weird, but he's a good person." Later, as Zhu Xinjing grew taller and his features matured, the adolescent boy transformed into a beauty so stunning it astonished everyone. The questions from the people around You Chuyu also began to get weird. "You Chuyu, Zhu Xinjing ignores everyone else and sticks to you every day. Is he gay?" "You Chuyu, when that underclassman asked you out and gave you a love letter today, Zhu Xinjing secretly followed you. Does he have a crush on you?" "You Chuyu, someone confessed to Zhu Xinjing today, and he said he doesn't like girls! He definitely likes you!" You Chuyu, long accustomed to Zhu Xinjing's unconventional ways, smiled calmly. "You don't understand. He's just a little messed up." Later, with no warning at all, Zhu Xinjing cornered You Chuyu and kissed him. You Chuyu, who was thoroughly used to Zhu Xinjing's messed-up behavior, stayed calm... calm my ass!!! That kid is seriously messed up!!!
