He Has Tattooed Sleeves, but He's Such a Sweetheart

[Tough-looking, tattooed uke x straight, rough-and-rowdy seme] [The novel will be completed starting from Chapter 25. Thank you for your support!]

After transferring schools, Tong Quan decided to act like a "good student" for a few days, just to keep up appearances. Instead, he ended up crossing the school bully.

On their first day as deskmates, the bully couldn't stand seeing him wearing cooling sleeves in the middle of summer and deliberately kicked his desk leg.

Tong Quan was shoved sideways, and his black pen tore through several pages of his workbook, leaving a long streak.

The bully shot him a sideways glance. "I didn't do it on purpose."

That look was full of provocation and irritation.

Tong Quan smiled like a well-behaved student. "It's fine. I don't stoop to arguing with people whose brains have atrophied."

On their Nth day as deskmates, the bully blew smoke rings in his face, grinning carelessly.

Choked by the smoke, Tong Quan frowned, his eyes reddening as he prepared to tear into the bully.

The bully clicked his tongue and pinched out his cigarette. "What a pain."

Tong Quan politely suggested, "If you've got nothing better to do, get your chromosomes checked. Maybe you're super-masculine."

Tong Quan thought the bully couldn't stand him. But later, when classmates picked on him, the bully beat them up for him. When assholes from another school came looking for trouble, the bully beat them up too.

When Tong Quan was upset and went to lean on the balcony railing, the bully grabbed him and held him tight.

The worry in his eyes said it all.

Tong Quan: ? I'm not jumping. Let go first!

Deng Wan had always thought his new deskmate was a pushover who'd transferred in. He hadn't expected the pushover to talk back. Tsk, and there was something kind of sexy about the way he swore.

The pushover read smutty books. Tsk, so he was secretly a little perverted.

The pushover even got choked by smoke, his eyes red as he teared up. Tsk, the pushover was kind of cute.

What should you do when your deskmate is a pushover?

Obviously, you stand up for him!

Deng Wan dutifully protected Tong Quan.

Then one day, he ran into Tong Quan being surrounded by a group of people and rolled up his sleeves to help.

Instead, he saw Tong Quan sneer as he ripped off his dirtied cooling sleeves.

The tattoo revealed underneath was black and menacing.

In a few moves, he took down everyone there, then raised his chin with a grin. "Call me Grandpa, and you'll get one less slap."

In that instant,

Deng Wan was stunned.

He had full sleeves?! And he was that badass?!

I'm even more in love!!!

1. A sweet campus romance. No dating while underage; they get together as adults.

2. Think carefully before getting a tattoo. Minors should not get tattoos.

3. This should be a short story.

The Obsolete CP Takes the Internet by Storm

Yao Zhou was blacklisted by his trash company for three years. Then he lost a lawsuit and was ordered to pay 50 million in breach-of-contract damages.

He couldn't pay that back in ten lifetimes of working.

At his wits' end, he ran into his former top-tier star boyfriend, whom he'd once treated like crap.

The man tossed him a marriage contract worth 50 million.

Yao Zhou: Even if he's into BDSM, I'll go along with it.

*

Huo Yiwen brought him to an industry event and made him stand off to the side.

"Stay here. Don't move around."

Yao Zhou stood there, feeling aggrieved, and devoured the free snacks.

Three hours later, Huo Yiwen asked sarcastically, "Why aren't you sitting down? Can't you see the chairs?"

Yao Zhou forced a smile: Damn, I'll just swallow my anger.

CP fans: Zhouzhou is so adorably clueless. He didn't even know to find a seat! No wonder Brother Huo couldn't focus while talking to the famous director!

*

Huo Yiwen cast him in a minor male role, as the male lead's sidekick. Huo Yiwen was the male lead.

"Do a good job. Don't make me look bad."

Yao Zhou swallowed his pride and played the perfect lackey both on and off the set.

After filming wrapped, Huo Yiwen gave him the cold shoulder. "I was talking to my assistant. I didn't ask you to get me water."

Yao Zhou swallowed his pride: Damn, damn, damn! It's all for the money!

CP fans: Zhouzhou is so obedient. What a perfect wife! No wonder Brother Huo brings him along to every shoot!

*

No matter what they did, CP fans saw Yao Zhou and Huo Yiwen as a beautiful love story where both sides were hopelessly devoted to each other.

Their once-obsolete CP, "A Leaf in a Boat," gradually became a popular pairing!

Yao Zhou: My eyes are always brimming with tears.

*

As time passed, Yao Zhou reasonably began to suspect that Huo Yiwen's marketing team was behind all this. Huo Yiwen was using him to gain fans, then clean up his image and convert those fans into loyal followers! He was squeezing every last bit of value out of him!

Yao Zhou: What a ruthless man!

Yao Zhou sneered at Huo Yiwen's despicable behavior. As soon as their one-year agreement ended, he would run!

But on the day he tried to leave, he was caught.

The man pinned him against the wall and kissed him fiercely, one hand gripping his throat.

Yao Zhou was kissed until he was dazed. He saw Huo Yiwen coldly tug at his tie.

"I've been pursuing you for an entire year, and this is how you repay me?"

"Looks like I've been far too nice to you."

"We've been married long enough. It's time we did what married couples do."

Yao Zhou: !!!

Pure-Hate CP's Pure Love Goes Viral, coming soon. Please add it to your collection.

Synopsis:

Ni Yuan is a washed-up celebrity with fewer than a million fans across the internet. His ex-boyfriend, Cao Yansheng, has over a hundred million fans.

Five years ago, the two debuted in the same boy band and were incredibly close. Their CP fans made up 90 percent of their fanbase.

But things have changed. Now, Ni Yuan hates Cao Yansheng more than anyone.

Ni Yuan never expected to run into Cao Yansheng on a dating show where washed-up celebrities sold fake romance.

When the two first met, the interview atmosphere in the observation room was dead silent for ten minutes.

Ni Yuan: "Could you separate us and interview us individually?"

Cao Yansheng sneered. "Hmph."

The staff wiped their sweat. "Sorry about that. We'll arrange another..."

The staff watched the livestream's response with bated breath.

[The old-school CP reunites, followed by ten minutes of dead silence!]

[One has red eyes, the other's voice is choked up. I'm shipping them!]

During the segment where they described their ideal types, Ni Yuan smiled sincerely.

"I don't have an ideal type. I won't set limits for my future partner. But I do have a 'nope' type: the sort who checks every box on my list of deal-breakers, someone who makes me sick just thinking about them... And, unfortunately, the show invited exactly that kind of person."

Cao Yansheng, meanwhile, kept a cold expression.

"I like people who are rich, gentle, and quiet. A certain someone doesn't fit a single one of those."

The staff member's heart rate shot up to 180.

This is live! Guys!

[Ni Yuan, you looked at Cao Yansheng 800 times in ten minutes! So you just can't stand him!]

[Cao Yansheng, don't think we didn't see you transfer money to Ni Yuan. Making your wife into your ideal type starts with making him rich, right?]

As the show went on, Ni Yuan's dislike of Cao Yansheng grew several levels stronger.

"I'm on a date with my guy. Why are you butting in? What are you, a light bulb?"

"I told you I don't like eggs. You make them for me every day. Do you have a grudge against me?"

"I bought gifts for everyone. Yours was the cheapest. Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

Until at last, just before the show ended, Ni Yuan finally lost his temper and yelled at Cao Yansheng, an industry top-tier star, for being crazy enough to fake a romance for publicity.

In full view of everyone, Cao Yansheng met his gaze.

"You're right. I went crazy after 1,826 days without you. I can't take it anymore."

Ni Yuan fell silent. "...You're so cheesy."

Cao Yansheng chuckled. "Then let's talk about something practical. Can I sleep in your room tonight?"

Ni Yuan: ...You bastard.

[The person you hate most is often the one who suits you best.]

Important:

1. Rekindled love, sweet and satisfying, with two strong leads.

2. Includes livestream comments. Please don't read if that's not your thing.

3. Same-sex marriage is legal. No real-life inspirations. Respect original works.

4. Written to satisfy myself. I want to give every heartbroken CP fan a home.
