Human, the Red Panda Just Wants to Repay Your Kindness

[Innocent, adorable red panda beauty on the receiving end x handsome, socially anxious pursuer who wins himself over]

Li Qiu was a red panda who could take human form. To raise his profile and find the benefactor who had once saved his life more quickly, he somehow ended up in show business and joined a social reality show called Our Friendship House.

The little red panda was kind and innocent, but because he knew nothing about the unwritten rules of human society, he caused plenty of mishaps.

For example:

He accidentally ate an apple his teammate was using as a game token;

In a haunted house, fear made him lose control of his form, revealing his tail and frightening his teammate;

He was too slow to walk quickly even when it rained, making his teammates get soaked along with him...

The other contestants all said they were terribly unlucky to be paired with him.

Afraid they disliked him, one night Li Qiu brought his teammate a bamboo shoot as an apology.

The other man silently accepted it, then, after a long pause, suddenly said something completely out of the blue: "I will."

Li Qiu: ?

Everyone in the industry knew that Yu Zuofeng, a top-tier star, was aloof and had few friends despite becoming famous at a young age.

But no one knew that he was actually extremely socially anxious.

He wore a cold expression because he didn't know how to react;

He was taciturn because he didn't know what to say.

Nobody knew how to get along with him, so they all avoided going anywhere with him.

Except for that newcomer, Li Qiu.

He insisted they team up for games, and ate the apple Yu Zuofeng hated;

In the haunted house, he even conjured up a fluffy tail prop for Yu Zuofeng to hold;

Knowing Yu Zuofeng always prioritized efficiency and was tired, he slowed down and walked with him in the rain...

After thinking it over, Yu Zuofeng decided that Li Qiu probably liked him.

One night, Li Qiu asked to speak with him alone and gave him a gift.

Yu Zuofeng blushed bright red. He never expected the kid to beat him to the confession.

So he agreed, ready to begin this wonderful first romance.

The next morning.

Yu Zuofeng said to Li Qiu, "Good morning, baby."

But Li Qiu seemed not to hear him. He grabbed Yu Zuofeng's hand excitedly and said, "Yu Zuofeng, I found my benefactor!"

Yu Zuofeng: ?

When he suddenly learned that Li Qiu still had someone else in his heart, and that repaying a life-saving favor meant offering himself in marriage, Yu Zuofeng was devastated.

He patiently tried to talk him out of it. "Offering yourself in marriage is some outdated custom from hundreds of years ago. I suggest you think carefully and choose another way to repay him."

Lost in his joy, Li Qiu ignored him and sent his benefactor a message.

At the same time, Yu Zuofeng heard his phone ring.

He picked it up, turned red, and walked away.

Li Qiu was completely oblivious, muttering about why his benefactor still hadn't replied.

A moment later, a thick folder was suddenly held out in front of him.

Li Qiu asked, puzzled, "What's this?"

The man in front of him cleared his throat, pretending to be nonchalant. "My ID card, household registration book, property deeds... It's all in there."

Both leads are each other's one and only, 1V1, older love interest, HE

1. Not a traditional or realistic entertainment-industry story, so don't take it too seriously or compare it to reality. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting, and the characters are not based on real people.

2. The one being pursued won't stay obscure forever. He won't rely on his older love interest. The little red panda will turn things around through his own ability, looks, and wonderful personality.

3. This will probably be a lighthearted, sweet, indulgent story with some feel-good payback. I'll do my best to stick to that tone.
