How Many Times Do I Have to Get Exposed?

[Formerly Deaf Academic, Now Devoted, Patient, Scheming Top x Formerly Capricious School Bully, Now Amnesiac Pianist Bottom]

[Huo Jingyuan x Ke Yunxian]

Ke Yunxian is known to the public as the king of classical music, performing grand piano pieces in a perfectly tailored tailcoat.

But nobody knows that in private, he twirls around in pretty little dresses.

He posts the photos anonymously online, and they even get more likes than his professional account.

Later, Ke Yunxian meets a perfect man at the airport. Huo Jingyuan has a successful career, a handsome face, and a tall, muscular build with a broad chest. If Ke Yunxian had to find fault with him, it would be that one of Huo Jingyuan’s ears doesn’t hear very well.

But it doesn’t matter. Ke Yunxian’s hearing is good enough for both of them.

So Ke Yunxian boldly pursues love.

At the same time, his side account receives a huge tip.

After Ke Yunxian and Huo Jingyuan successfully go from strangers to lovers, the people around Ke Yunxian have all kinds of reactions.

Their high school classmates: “What? You two just got together? You were inseparable in high school. I thought you’d been dating forever.”

Ke Yunxian’s friends and family: “You were awful back then. You couldn’t stand Huo Jingyuan, so you set out to make him fall for you just so you could dump him.”

Huo Jingyuan’s friend: “After you left, Huo Jingyuan regretted it for a long time. He kept saying he was sorry for what he’d done to you.”

Ke Yunxian’s parents: “Why? Why are you with Huo Jingyuan again? What do you even see in him?”

Huo Jingyuan’s family: “You’re the reason Huo Jingyuan can’t hear out of one ear. Why did you come back?”

Ke Yunxian had lost a period of his memory. He figured that if he couldn’t remember it, it couldn’t have been important, so he never tried to recall it.

From what everyone said, he gradually pieced together the truth.

It turned out he and Huo Jingyuan had known each other for a long time and had been through all sorts of entanglements.

“Huo Jingyuan, I remember everything now. We can’t pretend the past never happened,” Ke Yunxian said, delivering his final verdict. “Let’s break up.”

Huo Jingyuan kept trying to explain, but Ke Yunxian never forgave him. With no other choice, he unlocked his phone and took out his last trump card.

“Ke Ke, you wouldn’t want other people to see these photos, would you?”

Modern setting, one-on-one, happy ending.

Warnings and notes: 1. The top’s deafness and the bottom’s amnesia will both eventually be cured. It doesn’t line up with real-world medical knowledge, but if I say they recover, they recover.

2. I plan to tell the story out of order, so it’ll have a modern setting, then high school, then modern again... I think.
