From a nobody online dating to a top love brain - Chapter 15

**Doggo:** You guys slept in the living room last night?

**Kitty:** This is hilarious.

**Yu Nan:** Next time we meet in person, let’s do a horror movie marathon together. Don’t back out now.

**Kitty:** Then Doggo, I’ll cuddle in your arms. I’m so scared.

**Yu Nan:** I’ll cuddle in your arms. I’m so scared.

Yu Nan remembered last night’s decision. The three of them had thought it over and finally decided to stay in the living room. He slept on the sofa, while Pei Yunchuan and the junior made a bed on the floor.

This morning, he woke up wrapped in a blanket on the floor, and somehow Pei Yunchuan had ended up sleeping by the door.

Pei Yunchuan and the junior both had evening classes, so the three of them had dinner near the school before heading back.

Yu Nan went straight back to his dorm, no evening classes for him—something he deserved.

**Kitty:** When we meet offline, let’s do a Wuxia cosplay together!

**Kitty:** I’ve already ordered the gear, including Doggo’s.

**Yu Nan:** What about me?

He was the only one in their group playing a demon character.

**Kitty:** You’ll wear a skirt. You’re the Butterfly Fairy.

**Milk Tea:** I think it’s a great idea. Brother Yu is really good-looking.

Yu Nan stayed silent and searched for in-game outfits of his character’s sect. He’d worn every outfit in the game, but he couldn’t imagine himself in one in real life.

After a bit of internal struggle, he decided to @kitty and ask her to recommend a custom shop.

**kitty:** There’s hope for you yet. Good, good.

Yu Nan opened and closed his eyes, imagining himself in a skirt. The thought made him feel so embarrassed that he couldn’t even picture it.

**kitty:** brother Yu should meet his online boyfriend in person while wearing a dress. Give him a shock.

**Yu Nan:** Are you crazy, or am I?

**Yu Nan:** I’ll never meet him in person. Meeting offline is impossible.

**Kitty:** What if you fall in love?

**Yu Nan:** That would be terrifying.

Yu Nan secretly decided that Bei Bei would only ever exist on his screen. As for the future, finding a partner was something he wasn’t concerned about right now.

For now, he couldn’t bring himself to date or get close to anyone in real life. The fact that he was even in an online relationship with Bei Bei was already beyond what he’d expected. If things ended with Bei Bei, he probably wouldn’t date online again.

He was just enjoying the freshness of it all—his first time having someone to flirt with and a good-looking body to admire.

Bei Bei was great, but meeting in person was out of the question.

**Kitty:** You heartless thing.

**Yu Nan:** I can’t imagine what it would be like to see him in person.

**Kitty:** Just meet him first. If he’s what you want, keep dating. If not, block and move on.

**Yu Nan:** You sound like a heartbreaker who toys with people’s emotions.

**Doggo:** That kid you’re dating online is only a freshman, right? Younger than you.

**Milk Tea:** brother Yu, you’re so bad.

Others started copying the “so bad” comment.

The “bad” Yu Nan considered what everyone was saying but still couldn’t accept the idea of meeting in person. However, he decided to make a change.

**Yu Nan:** I’ve decided to buy him a ring—consider it a token of our love.

**kitty:** So every time you date someone, you’ll buy them a ring? Each time, it’ll be a “token of love”?

**Yu Nan:** Good idea, I’ll do that from now on.

After chatting with his group, Yu Nan messaged Bei Bei: “Baby, let’s play a guessing game.”

**Bei Bei:** What are we guessing?

**Nan Nan:** Send me a picture of your hand.

Bei Bei complied and sent one.

**Yu Nan:** Let’s guess the circumference of your fingers, and I’ll send you a little gift.

He left the choice to Bei Bei, hinting: “Which finger’s circumference do you want to guess?”

**Bei Bei:** Baby, hang on. I’ll measure them after evening classes.

A gif of an excited little dog running around appeared on Yu Nan’s screen, making him smile. Who could call him heartless now? He was going to send a ring.

With some time to spare, he started browsing ring styles. It was his first time picking out a ring, and it felt a bit novel.

Going to a store in person was out of the question, but buying one online wasn’t bad either. The price was the only thing bothering him.

**Yu Nan:** What price range should I go for?

**Yu Nan:** It shouldn’t be too expensive or too cheap, but I’m not sure what’s appropriate in the middle.

**Milk Tea:** If it’s someone like a “deep lover,” even a pink plastic ring that doesn’t fit would be treasured.

**Yu Nan:** Don’t compare my baby to that kind of deep lover. My baby deserves better than a pink plastic ring.

Yu Nan shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and started scrolling through the ring options, ready to pick one at random unless it exceeded his budget.

When he opened his eyes, the first option was a 19.9-yuan set of three rings.

Choosing a ring was harder than he thought. After much deliberation, he finally found a simple, clean ring he liked. It could even be engraved, and the price was just right.

But what should he have engraved on it?

He pondered this for a while and then had an epiphany—he’d engrave Bei Bei’s initials, two big “BB” letters.

It felt a bit weird, but it was also fitting. Bei Bei was his baby, after all. If he asked about it, he’d just use some cheesy line to explain it away.

Meanwhile, Bei Yuye was sitting in class, feeling smug. Nan Nan clearly loved him to bits—he was even buying him a ring.

Just the thought of wearing matching rings with him made him giddy.

He wanted to give him something too. Since Nan Nan was giving him a ring, he had to reciprocate with something grand, maybe five treasures or nine. He couldn’t let him be the only one making an effort.

Bei Yuye also now knew Nan Nan’s full name, so he decided to move up his tattoo plans, getting it When the day comes to meet in person, he plans to bring along the five treasures and nine valuables, and give himself entirely to Nan Nan. A beautiful future awaits.

As soon as evening classes ended, Bei Yuye went to a nearby jewelry store to get his finger size measured and eagerly sent it to Nan Nan.

Since he was already out, he remembered Nan Nan’s favorite dish, Fuding Meat Slices, and logged into his alt account to @Nan Nan and ask if he wanted him to bring some.

When his senior suddenly popped up and asked for some, Bei Yuye, in a great mood, headed toward the night market.

On the way, he suddenly realized something—he had used his alt account to ask.

Nan Nan also had both a main and alt account. The alt account was filled with classmates, while he, Nan Nan’s dear Bei Bei, was on the main account.

Bei Yuye was deeply moved by this small detail of his. He decided he would love him for a lifetime.

When he returned with the Fuding Meat Slices, Nan Nan’s happy smile became Bei Yuye’s greatest source of motivation.

After receiving Bei Bei’s finger measurements, Yu Nan immediately ordered the ring. The production time was about a month.

When it came time to fill in the address, he started to feel conflicted. Asking for the address felt like crossing a line.

He hesitantly asked Bei Bei for his address, repeatedly emphasizing that Bei Bei didn’t need to include the door number—just having it sent to a nearby delivery station was fine.

Seeing the month-long production time, Bei Yuye figured he could pick it up when he went home for the National Day holiday. He followed Nan Nan’s advice and left out the door number when he sent the address.

His Nan Nan was so considerate of his privacy. He couldn’t believe he was lucky enough to be in a relationship with such a great person.

Excited, he messaged his mom: “Mom, my boyfriend bought me a ring and had it sent to our home address. If it arrives early, I’ll let you know.”

He also messaged his dad: “Dad, how much did you pay as a bride price when you married Mom?”

Yu Nan lay on his bed, finishing a drawing of their group that he hadn’t completed before. With his solid understanding of anatomy, everything he drew turned out well, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

**Kitty:** Wow, I’ve developed a fetish for femboy characters. You better watch out when we meet up, @Yu Nan.

This comment drew out Watch the sword and Dreams are everything, who also joined in.

**Dreams are everything:** Oh yes, Yu Yu turning into a cute girl.

Yu Nan couldn’t bring himself to look at their conversation. Even one more second would damage his innocent soul.

**Kitty:** No way you’re a top, right? @Yu Yu.

Yu Nan was too embarrassed to reply.

**Watch the sword:** Oh my gosh, I always imagined  him as a bottom.

**Dreams are everything:** A path I never considered—so what does that make Yu Yu’s boyfriend? A beefy bottom?

Yu Nan sent a meme of someone feeling hopeless: “Shh, just let me be.”

Milk tea sent a link to the group: “Here’s my collection of Yu Yu and his baby’s online romance stories. Don’t mess with my settings; it’d be difficult to change them.”

Yu Nan clicked in and saw that the post had tens of thousands of likes. When he checked Milk tea’s profile, he had tens of thousands of followers as well.

He exclaimed: “A big shot right under my nose?”

**Yu Nan:** The bottom is called brother Yu, the top is called Baby—your readers aren’t picky, huh?

**Watch the sword:** I wrote this as a memento for brother Yu. After all, it’s his first online romance.

**Watch the sword:** @Kitty @Doggy I also wrote about you two, but it’s private.

**Kitty:** Master, hurry and send it.

**Milk Tea** popped up: “What about me, what about me? Did you write about me?”

**Watch the sword:** Nope, not yet.

**Kitty:** Wow, you wrote so fast. You even wrote about me and Doggo with some collar play? I’m trying it out tonight just as you described.

Yu Nan skimmed through Watch the sword stories—this girl would write anything, all of it exaggerated.

**Watch the sword:** I’m writing a new piece tonight. It’s going to be ABO—you’re the cute little omega @brother Yu.

**Watch the sword:** You’re a fierce alpha @Kitty, and you too @Doggo.

**Milk Tea:** What about me, what about me?

**Watch the sword:** Shh, find a partner first before you join this race.

Yu Nan felt ashamed just reading this. He didn’t dare look too closely, but Watch the sword could write on and on.

He couldn’t help but sigh: “Every time you said you’d write this or that, I didn’t think you actually would.”

A scene flashed in his mind, but he couldn’t quite grasp it. He tried hard to recall it.

He suddenly remembered that a couple of days ago, he had a dream about Bei Bei, but he couldn’t recall the details. Just now, he finally remembered the scene—Bei Bei was a cute little omega in the dream, completely at his mercy, shyly calling him “brother.”

He began to doubt himself. He never thought he’d be the top, but even in his dreams, he was the one in control.

Some people say dreams reflect the subconscious. Could it be that deep down, he really wanted to be the top?

He hesitantly asked Bei Bei: “Baby, I had a dream about you.”

**Bei Bei:** Then you must really love me.

**Nan Nan:** Yes, but Bei Bei, I want to ask you something else.

**Bei Bei:** Go ahead, baby.

**Nan Nan:** About the top and bottom thing… you know, the 1 and 0? Which side do you think you are?

They had never discussed this before; they had only confirmed each other’s orientations.

**Bei Bei:** I’ve always seen myself as the top, though.

Then came a shy little dog emoji.

Yu Nan let out a sigh of relief. Okay, then he’d just spoil Bei Bei and be the bottom for love.
