[Synopsis]

Mo Ke unexpectedly meets an online friend on his university forum. The other person is mysterious and aloof, rarely responds, and sometimes even vanishes without a trace.

Mo Ke thinks they get along pretty well, so he tells him everything, including how he has a crush on his senior, Duan Xuning. He practically becomes a social menace online, sometimes even threatening his friend to make him play games.

His senior is playing basketball, so Mo Ke secretly takes pictures from the sidelines and sends them to his online friend.

Mo Ke: Handsome, right?

Mo Ke: My boyfriend.

D: ...

His senior gives a speech, but Mo Ke lets it go in one ear and out the other. He is too busy wondering how many abs are under that white shirt, and, of course, chatting.

Mo Ke: With a body like that, I should sneak a look at him at the pool sometime.

D: ...Did your high school teach ethics?

Mo Ke didn't just think about it. He did it.

At the pool, he deliberately takes his time getting ready, until someone gently tugs the back of his goggles.

Duan Xuning says, his voice complicated: "Mo Ke, your swim trunks are rolled up."

Duan Xuning is a third-year medical student, the campus heartthrob of Xicheng University. With a high nose bridge, natural curls, and minority heritage, he is undeniably handsome. But he is quiet, reserved, and difficult to approach.

His phone has been buzzing nonstop lately, one message after another.

Annoying. Boring.

One day, after the person on the other end badgered him relentlessly, Duan Xuning lost his head for a moment and sent him a picture of his abs.

His roommate, who was sleeping with the curtains drawn, saw it too.

Seeing his abstinent-looking buddy calmly lift his shirt and take a picture, his roommate stared in shock and confusion. "Are you...sexting?"

Duan Xuning froze. His face turned pale, then flushed. After a long moment, he said, "...Get lost."

Roommate: "...Sure. Carry on."

That wasn't all. His roommate also noticed Duan Xuning wearing headphones to voice-chat with someone, and even arranging to meet him in a hoarse voice while he was still recovering from a cold.

The first-meeting scene:

Mo Ke arrives at the cafe where they're supposed to meet and suddenly spots Duan Xuning sitting alone by the window, with two coffees on the table. Thinking he's in luck, Mo Ke sits at the next table and calls the person who arranged to meet him, asking why they're late.

The call connects, and the phone at the next table rings.

Mo Ke freezes, hangs up, and calls again. The phone next door rings again, and someone answers.

Mo Ke looks up in confusion. "..."

Duan Xuning looks at him with a faint, knowing smile and points to the seat beside him. His low voice blends with the sound from the phone: "I saved it for you."

Mo Ke: "..."

Later, Mo Ke runs away.

*An alternate universe. The university setting does not completely match reality.

*The protagonists are not perfect, and each has flaws.

*Older man, happy ending.

*A sweet, everyday romance. I hope you enjoy reading!

Next up in my collection: The Little Dog's Obedient Act Goes Wrong

[Upcoming Novel Synopsis]:

On a sweltering night of torrential rain, Mu Yuanhuai calmly signs his father's death certificate at the morgue.

The car accident on the eve of his father's wedding not only took the life of the stepmother he had never met, but also left him with an even bigger problem: her son.

On a day off, after being woken up for the third time by a call from the homeroom teacher, Mu Yuanhuai finally realizes what a stupid thing he's done.

He kicks the person beside him awake. "Answer the phone."

Zhu Jing, bleary-eyed: "Hello, Ms. Xu... I forgot. Yeah, I'm right here."

He hands the phone back, and a woman's voice berates him: "Zhu Jing's guardian, all the other parents are here. You're still in bed?"

Mu Yuanhuai: "..."

Mu Yuanhuai goes to school to pick him up and takes down a gang of thugs surrounding Zhu Jing.

The next day, Zhu Jing sends him a video.

In it, the dean of discipline points at a security-camera screenshot. "Which class is this troublemaker in? Fighting without a uniform, and he thinks I'm blind?!"

Mu Yuanhuai: "..."

In the screenshot, he's gripping a thug by the collar and brazenly lighting a cigarette.

The homeroom teachers all shake their heads. They don't know him.

The room falls silent. Zhu Jing suddenly raises his hand. "Director, he's my family."

-

Mu Yuanhuai accidentally drinks liquor laced with drugs.

In the cramped bathroom, the mirror reflects their bodies pressed tightly together.

He asks Zhu Jing for his phone. Zhu Jing says, "I didn't bring it."

Mu Yuanhuai pins his chin in place. "You think I didn't see the phone in your pocket?"

Zhu Jing is silent, then takes out his phone and holds down the power button to switch it off.

Mu Yuanhuai: "?"

Zhu Jing: "It's broken."

"..."

Beneath the glaring fluorescent light,

Zhu Jing tosses his phone onto the counter and asks softly, eyes lowered, "Cold water or me? Pick one, big brother."

"...Cold water."

Zhu Jing lifts the hem of Mu Yuanhuai's shirt.

"I said cold water! What the hell are you... Mmph..."

"Aren't you straight, big brother?" The boy's slender fingers brush the corner of Mu Yuanhuai's eye. "Why are you trembling?"

-

Mu Yuanhuai will never forget that humiliating day.

Zhu Jing comes home for university break. Mu Yuanhuai pries the arm around his waist away. "Get back to school. Don't keep coming home to annoy me for no reason."

Zhu Jing looks up, staring silently at the large red marks on his neck.

Mu Yuanhuai: "...What are you looking at? Ever heard of mosquito bites?"

Zhu Jing tilts his head, the corner of his mouth curling as he says cruelly, "Were the mosquitoes that fucked you last night, too?"

Mu Yuanhuai kicks Zhu Jing. "Get lost..."
