After a Night with an Athlete

Xia Xiaoyao likes boys. He dresses in pastel colors and loves hanging out with girls, so he's been bullied plenty over the years. But he always gave as good as he got.

College has been much easier for him, and he's started thinking about finding a boyfriend.

Cheng Yuan is an athlete, top of his major and year, and the son of a university president. He's rich and handsome, and the school forum has a thousand pages of people confessing to him.

Xia Xiaoyao figures he has no chance with someone that high-class, so he decides to check out other guys. But one day, Cheng Yuan is drugged and, while out of his mind, drags another guy into bed.

Xia Xiaoyao loses his virginity, and wakes up feeling so wronged. He wants to berate Cheng Yuan, but he spread his legs last night too, so he can't exactly claim to be innocent.

Afterward, Xia Xiaoyao finds himself running into Cheng Yuan everywhere.

The cafeteria, the way to class, the way home, the library, even the gym!

Thinking Cheng Yuan is interested in him, Xia Xiaoyao shyly blocks his path and whispers, "There's no way things could work between us. Y-you should stop doing this."

Meanwhile, he's already imagined all the positions he might try in bed.

Only later does he learn that Cheng Yuan really was just passing by. He has no interest in pursuing him at all.

From then on, whenever Xia Xiaoyao sees Cheng Yuan, he runs away like a rabbit spotting a wolf.

Until Cheng Yuan pins him against the wall, his face dark, and asks, "Why are you running?"

One day, Xia Xiaoyao gets drugged and whines as he goes to Cheng Yuan for a hug, leaving Cheng Yuan's roommate completely bewildered.

The two of them end up in bed together again.

The next day, Xia Xiaoyao tentatively suggests, "Well, since things have gone this far, why don't we..."

"Sure. I agree," Cheng Yuan says.

Dating? He really is interested in him that way.

Cheng Yuan has already made up his mind to leave the world of straight men behind for good. But Xia Xiaoyao happily continues, "Then from now on, we'll be friends with benefits."

...What?

Gradually, Xia Xiaoyao feels Cheng Yuan is being way too good as a friend with benefits. He buys him food and drinks and even sleeps with him. Xia Xiaoyao starts to suspect Cheng Yuan has some ulterior motive.

Until one day, he hears Cheng Yuan make a wish on a shooting star: "I hope Xia Xiaoyao will fall for me."

This is what I'm writing next. Please add it to your reading list!

Lin Shu is an Omega, a second-year student majoring in animation voice acting.

When he reaches the legal age, the community arranges a blind date with a suitable Alpha for him.

Gu Zhao is an Alpha, a second-year computer science student.

He's Lin Shu's blind date today.

Lin Shu is a little socially anxious and didn't really want to go. But when he heard the guy's voice through the staff member's phone, he immediately became interested.

He didn't expect the other guy to be so handsome, like a celebrity.

How could someone like that still be single?

Lin Shu asks sincerely.

Gu Zhao smiles faintly. "I just haven't met anyone I like."

"Oh." Lin Shu nods.

Scrambling for something to say, Lin Shu asks, "So... what kind of person do you like?"

Gu Zhao's gaze rests on his face. "Someone with a nice voice."

Lin Shu says, "Okay. I'll introduce you to someone from my major. We're all studying voice acting, so we all have nice voices."

Gu Zhao: "..."

Gu Zhao smiles again. "I think your voice is pretty nice."

Lin Shu's eyes widen.

The next second, his ears turn bright red.

-

Gu Zhao hadn't wanted to go on a blind date, but his family nagged him about it every day, and he was getting sick of it. He decided to give it a try today since he happened to be free.

But before the agreed time, he already didn't feel like going. He was wondering whether to study or go have fun when a figure passed in front of him.

He looked up.

"H-hello, I'm Lin Shu."

[Hey, Gu Zhao, are you still coming to karaoke? I'm already on my way.]

Half a second later...

[Not coming.]

Socially anxious, slow-to-catch-on, beautiful Omega x cool, listless, handsome Alpha top (he's very gentle with Xiao Shu)
