This story is also known as: When My Online Ex Became a Celebrity and Walked Into My Tattoo Studio

Yan Sheng is a tsundere tattoo artist. Everyone who comes to get a tattoo from him knows he has an unwritten rule: There are three kinds of tattoos he won't do.

He won't tattoo people who smoke or drink, or people who don't keep clean. As he puts it, smokers and drinkers all have a smell that makes him sick, and the filthy need no explanation: he can't bring himself to touch them. Yan Sheng draws every tattoo design himself.

The last rule is that he doesn't tattoo celebrities.

As for why he won't tattoo celebrities, it's because of a past he considers humiliating. He once had an online relationship that nobody knew about. They never used voice calls or video, so the other person had never seen Yan Sheng.

But Yan Sheng had seen the other person in photo after photo.

At the time, he was a student at a drama academy, dreaming of becoming a real actor after graduation.

Later, he graduated and became a somewhat famous actor, but then dumped Yan Sheng.

So, years later, when that person stumbled drunkenly into Yan Sheng's studio and demanded a tattoo, Yan Sheng showed no mercy and kicked him out!

At the red-carpet show of the Entertainment Awards, Shangguan He, who had shot to fame with a serious drama, was placed much farther back in the lineup. A sharp-eyed reporter noticed what looked like a fresh tattoo on Shangguan's collarbone. They couldn't make out the design, but it seemed to be a petal.

During the interview, one fearless reporter went straight for the jugular: "Shangguan, what kind of flower is that tattoo?"

It was a serious drama from CCTV, for goodness' sake. How could he dare show off a tattoo!

Shangguan He wasn't angry. He smiled and brushed a hand over his collarbone. "It's just a temporary tattoo. My niece insisted on putting it on me this morning, and I forgot to wash it off."

So that's what it was, the reporters whispered. They knew nobody would dare cause trouble in front of CCTV.

While showering, Shangguan He took off his shirt and stood with his back to a large full-length mirror. A vivid, flamboyant lotus bloomed over his shoulder blade.

He remembered the time just after his heartbreak, when he smoked and drank and let himself go. He'd insisted on getting a tattoo, wanting to have that person's name inked over his heart.

In a daze, he'd walked into a tattoo shop called Three Lifetimes. Before he could even speak, the owner had kicked him out.

Thinking of this, Shangguan He smiled. He picked up his phone, opened WeChat, tapped the lotus avatar at the top of his chats, and sent a voice message.

The other person, woken up and angry, replied with just one word: "Speak!"

"I want another tattoo, baby~"

"Where?"

"On your favorite part of me~"

"Get lost!"

Reader's Guide:

1. One-on-one romance. The entertainment industry doesn't play a very big role.

But the top and his ex (the fake bottom) have a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! He's loved the bottom all along! However, during the misunderstanding, he will kiss and hug the person he thinks is the bottom, and that's as far as it goes. If you can't accept that, feel free to leave (but it doesn't happen much!). Since they first met online, the top had never seen the bottom and didn't know the person he was chatting with wasn't him. It's not that he knew and still got together with the fake bottom!!! (Important!)

2. The top will call him baby, darling, and things like that. There'll be a nasty male supporting character and a great male supporting character, and maybe a little melodrama now and then? (Just kidding.)

3. The early part is during the misunderstanding, so there won't be sweet romance yet, and the pacing is a little slow. The first half of the blurb will happen in the chapters released when the story goes premium. After that, their relationship will progress in leaps and bounds!

4. The top is lovesick, not a simp! The top is lovesick, not a simp! The top is lovesick, not a simp!

So please don't read too much into it! This isn't about shipping or antis, I just want to write about their love.

5. I'm not money, so I can't please everyone. If you don't like it, just move on. There's no need to leave a comment just to hurt someone. Bowing.

★★★ My next story, The Young Tough Guy and His Prosecutor, is coming soon. Feel free to add it to your favorites in advance~★★★

Blurb:

● Loyal, rugged young tough guy x gentle, pure-hearted prosecutor (Note: this tough guy isn't a delinquent.)

● Eight-year age gap, both are each other's first and only, the top has a secret crush

● Han Lu (top) x Jin Yizhuo (bottom)

Jin Yizhuo has a specific kind of face blindness. He might forget an ordinary person in the blink of an eye, but he can remember every one of his clients, as well as Han Lu, the mechanic.

Once, on his way to court, Jin Yizhuo's car broke down in the middle of nowhere. Looking at the flat tire, he couldn't decide whether to call a tow truck or just keep adding to the cost of getting a ride. He looked up and spotted a mobile tire repair sign in the distance, so he called without a second thought.

Soon, a man wearing a black tank top and a pair of grease-stained gloves drove up in a battered pickup and stopped in front of Jin Yizhuo.

He looked barely over twenty.

"Flat tire?" the man asked, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Yeah."

"A thousand."

"Why not just rob me?" If not for his good upbringing, Jin Yizhuo would have cursed him out.

The man pulled a lighter from his work pants, cupped his hand to light the cigarette, took a long drag, then slowly blew out the smoke. His tone was cocky, yet aggrieved. "What can I do? You can't remember my face."

That was Jin Yizhuo's first impression of Han Lu: overbearing, crude, and, of course, with impressively muscular biceps.

Jin Yizhuo, who usually couldn't remember strangers, remembered Han Lu after just that one meeting.

*

That December, a horrific child sexual assault case occurred in Beishi. The victim was only ten years old.

According to witnesses, someone wearing a mechanic's uniform had been seen near the scene. Some even saw him walking out of the small woods, hitching up his pants and pulling up his zipper.

When Jin Yizhuo went to serve the arrest warrant, he discovered that the suspect was none other than Han Lu, the man he had been planning to confess his feelings to. As it happened, the two of them hadn't seen each other in a long time because of a minor disagreement.

In the freezing weather, Han Lu was still bare-chested, crouching on the curb outside the repair shop and smoking. Seeing Jin Yizhuo in a white shirt, holding a document stamped with the prosecutor's office's large red seal, he took another drag and slowly rose to his feet, blowing smoke into Jin Yizhuo's face.

"Prosecutor Jin, you remember something that small? Come after me to get revenge for personal reasons?"

Later, Han Lu was still bare-chested, except Jin Yizhuo's white shirt had been nearly torn off.

Han Lu's calloused fingers slid over every inch of Jin Yizhuo's skin, making him tremble nonstop.

Han Lu leaned down, his hands never stopping, and spoke in a thoroughly irritating tone: "What's wrong, my prosecutor? Aren't you going to arrest me?"

Han Lu had a secret he'd kept for years. When he was little, an old bachelor from his village had nearly taken advantage of him. Fortunately, an older boy had rescued him and given him a phone number.

The boy said he was interning at the prosecutor's office, and that Han Lu could come to him with any problems in the future.

But Han Lu had never managed to get through to that eleven-digit number.

One day, by chance, Han Lu saw him in a café. Eight years had passed since they last met, and Han Lu could barely keep hold of his cigarette.

Even though the other man no longer remembered him,

that didn't matter. Han Lu remembered him, and that was enough.

★★★ Please add my friend's story, Who Gives Their Childhood Friend Extra Homework?, to your favorites~★★★

Ning Jia'an is even-tempered. His childhood friend, Liang Xiaokang, is a boy who loves to act cute and likes adorable things.

Years ago, Liang Xiaokang's parents took him to kindergarten. He was about to wail like all the other children when he spotted an especially cute little kid in the crowd. He immediately forgot to cry and happily stayed behind.

They lived in the same neighborhood and, after meeting in kindergarten, spent fifteen years as classmates.

As a child, Liang Xiaokang would cling to Ning Jia'an's little hand and act cute. In middle school, he'd cling to the hem of Ning Jia'an's clothes and act cute. By university, he could finally hug Ning Jia'an without holding back and bury his face against the side of his neck.

Some embarrassing memories they both want to forget but somehow still remember:

1

Ning Jia'an's biggest childhood puzzle was why Liang Xiaokang had four grandparents while he only had two.

Then he learned that Liang Xiaokang had an older sister, and slapped his forehead, convinced he'd solved it: Liang Xiaokang and his sister made two people, so they had four grandparents. He was only one person, so he had two.

2

Ning Jia'an and Liang Xiaokang were always visiting each other's homes. Liang Xiaokang's older sister also got to know this cute little boy.

One time, while chatting with her, Ning Jia'an happened to learn that Liang Xiaokang had never cried or fussed when he first started kindergarten.

"He said he'd met an especially cute classmate, so he looked forward to going to kindergarten every day," his sister said with a laugh.

As everyone knew, Liang Xiaokang loved cute things and was very affectionate with people he knew. Ning Jia'an didn't really want to admit it, but immediately realized that the especially cute little kid his sister was talking about was him.

Ning Jia'an: "..."

When Liang Xiaokang came over with a plate of cut fruit, he realized his sister had tricked him countless times over the years.

Even-tempered, chatty bottom x affectionate, sunny top
