From a nobody online dating to a top love brain - Chapter 18

BeiBei: “Hmph, you’re just craving my body.”

“So, I need to keep well; I really love you,” Yu Nan chuckled.

Bei Yuye touched his chest where his heartbeat was: “Nan Nan, I want to get a letter ‘Y’ tattooed here.”

“And then ‘YN’ here.” he extended his wrist to show where he wanted the tattoo.

He turned and pointed to his lower back: “And here, ‘NY’.”

He gestured around his arm: “A circle of 5201314, and above it a circle of ‘NB’, with a small heart in the middle.”

“And on my ankle, the day we met.”

“The other ankle, the day we got together, to make it symmetrical.”

“No tattoos,” Yu Nan insisted. He could accept one or two tattoos, but Bei Bei wanted too many.

Bei Yuye stamped his feet in the bathroom: “I don’t care, I want them.”

“You can’t have so many, it’s too much, I don’t like it,” Yu Nan said firmly.

Bei Yuye’s lips pouted, feeling aggrieved: “I just want a few.”

“That’s still too many.” At least he didn’t want Bei Bei to have that many tattoos during their relationship.

Bei Bei went silent and started to shower quietly.

When he was getting dressed, he started being mischievous again, and Yu Nan watched him on the screen as he fiddled with the tattoo designs on his abs.

Yu Nan asked: “What are you doing?”

“I’m angry,” Bei Bei huffed.

Yu Nan: “You’re not allowed to be angry, get dressed properly.”

Bei Yuye, frustrated, put on his clothes: “I’m still angry.”

“You’re such a good boy, come out and read a novel with me,” Yu Nan said helplessly.

Bei Bei hesitated: “Okay then, I won’t be angry anymore.”

Yu Nan had known Bei Bei for over a year and understood his personality very well.

In this year, he occasionally threw tantrums, but he could quickly be soothed, sometimes even without much effort.

He was concerned about Bei Bei being easily taken advantage of. 

“Don’t let anyone bully you,” he said with concern. “If they call you naive, don’t just laugh it off.”

Bei Yuye: “Only you bully me.”

“See, now you’re just being spoiled,” Yu Nan said.

Bei Bei claimed he was angry again, and Yu Nan soothed him before they continued their call and read the novel together.

“You see this little white skirt being ripped,” Yu Nan remarked.

Bei Bei: “Do you want to rip it too?”

“Focus on the plot,” Yu Nan said. “We need to discuss it.”

“They touched each other, Nan Nan, I’m embarrassed to watch,” Bei Yuye purred.

Yu Nan felt helpless, but as long as Bei Bei was happy.

“Nan Nan, they’re doing sneaky things while their roommate is away.”

“It’s so scary, Nan Nan, the bed is creaking, I’m afraid it will collapse.”

“Nan Nan, would you also push me down like that?”

Yu Nan couldn’t take it anymore and hung up the call, enjoying the sudden silence.

Bei Bei’s call quickly popped up again, and he answered.

“I won’t talk nonsense anymore, Nan Nan,” Bei Bei said, feeling wronged. “Let’s just discuss the plot.”

They exchanged a few more words, and as Yu Nan began to feel sleepy, Bei Bei’s voice was soothing in his ear.

He started to doze off without realizing it, lulled by Bei Bei’s commentary.

“How did the little white skirt get ripped again?”

“He’s so bad, unlike me.”

Yu Nan replied lazily, “Mm, you’re the best.”

“He’s like you, because you only care about looks.”

Yu Nan, too tired to think clearly, said, “Bei Bei, I want to hear a story.”

“Should I tell it?”

Yu Nan softly replied, “Mm.”

Bei Yuye immediately sat up in bed, ready to tell him a bedtime story. He quickly came up with a story in his mind.

He cleared his throat and began: “A long, long time ago…”

Yu Nan put his phone aside, relaxed, and prepared to sleep.

He slept well, even in a noisy environment; he actually preferred having some background noise to fall asleep to.

“There was a handsome and kind Bei Bei knight.”

Uh-oh, this is an improvised story, and Yu Nan might end up wanting to hear it.

“He was going to rescue the prince trapped in a castle.”

“The castle was guarded by a wicked dragon that sprayed fire, but the Bei Bei knight jumped and dodged it.”

“Along the way, he encountered a little frog. The frog told the Bei Bei knight that it was the Nan Nan prince.”

“The frog said that if the Bei Bei knight kissed it, it would turn back into a person.”

“The Bei Bei knight asked the frog, ‘Where would you most like me to kiss you?’”

“The frog said it wanted to kiss the Bei Bei knight’s little lips.”

“The Bei Bei knight ignored the frog because he knew the Nan Nan prince liked to kiss his chest muscles.”

Bei Yuye’s voice grew fainter, and Yu Nan fell asleep more soundly.

His sleep was very brief, so brief that Yu Nan felt he hadn’t slept at all. His eyes were still tired.

He tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable sleeping position, but realized he couldn’t fall asleep.

Desperate, he checked the time—it was only six o’clock, and he had only fallen asleep around three.

Yu Nan sat up and stared at the floor for a while, then stood by the window and stared outside.

Checking the time again, it was six-thirty.

Apart from the high schooler Rain is quietly falling, Yu Nan invited everyone to join a voice call.

Doggo’s voice came first: “I’m out for a morning run with the kitty.”

Yu Nan had a running requirement every semester—twenty-five morning runs and thirty-five evening runs, or he’d fail the semester.

He always procrastinated and only started running in the last two months. He envied Doggo and Kitty who started running at the beginning of the semester, but he just couldn’t manage it.

“Love you, going to sleep,” Milk Tea entered for a second and left.

“I bought you a gift, I’ll give it to you when we meet,” Kitty said.

“Really?” Yu Nan responded with surprise, but then added, “I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed now. You guys keep running.”

“I just wanted to hear your voices.” he yawned.

The exercise from earlier had obviously worked; he needed exercise to sleep better.

The nap lasted quite a while, and when he woke up, it was already noon.

Feeling hungry, he lay in bed and grabbed his phone to order takeout.

Bei Yuye: “Senior, I bought breakfast.”

A message from ten minutes ago, Yu Nan quickly got out of bed to wash up.

Crab roe buns, century egg and lean pork congee, and shrimp dumplings—his favorites.

Milk Tea: “Why would a guy suddenly want to wear a skirt?”

Yu Nan was very interested in this topic: Why?

Dreams are everything: “Writing about this tonight.”

Milk Tea: “I’m serious. Suddenly asking me which color of skirt he’d look good in!!!”

Yu Nan typed quickly: “He must have gathered a lot of courage to ask you. Don’t discourage him.”

Milk Tea: “Just imagine him in a skirt, isn’t it scary?”

Yu Nan didn’t quite understand at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly got it and sneakily glanced at the junior.

He typed: “Sensitive Guy?”

Milk Tea: “Life is so disheartening.”

Yu Nan continued to sneak glances at the junior. The junior in a skirt?

Yu Nan: “So scary.”

Milk Tea: “You should support him, go ahead.”

Yu Nan: “I can’t support him; it’s too ambiguous.”

Dreams are everything: “Wasn’t Sensitive Guy buying collars before?”

Dream are everything @ Milk Tea: “Think of it positively, it’s just a master’s task.”

When Yu Nan glanced at the junior again, he caught his dark eyes and quickly looked around the living room 360 degrees.

Overly deliberate, he closed his eyes and reflected on why he had looked around the room.

“Well, Pei Yunchuan spoke ill of you,” he dared not look at the junior and sent Milk Tea’s message.

Yu Nan: “As your senior and roommate, I’ve already harshly reprimanded him.”

“Mm, thank you, Senior.” Bei Yuye was given a shrimp dumpling by Yu Nan.

Yu Nan slowly finished the shrimp dumpling. The junior was really nice. He hesitated, “Well… Junior.”

“Mm?”

“I support you, with that thing.” he hesitated, hoping he would understand.

Bei Yuye had no idea what Nan Nan was supporting, but he was still very happy because he was going to support him.

“Thank you, Senior.” he said gratefully.

Yu Nan nodded and gave a shrimp dumpling to him: “You need to stick to yourself.”

Bei Yuye nodded emphatically, hoping the senior could see his determination.

“Good, keep it up.” Since Yu Nan had said so much, the rest depended on his courage.

Yu Nan: “I support the junior’s idea! He is free!”

Dream are everything: “I support it too. 188 can have the dream of wearing a skirt!”

Watch the sword: “Then I’ll also support Milk Tea’s dream of wearing a skirt.”

Milk Tea: “Please read the entire chat.”

Watch the sword: “Aren’t you  YuYu’s junior?”

Yu Nan took the opportunity to add: “He’s not 188.”

Watch the sword: “Okay.”

Milk Tea: “I am! I am!”

Yu Nan quickly asked for confirmation, “Junior, how tall is Pei Yunchuan?”

“187.8 cm.” Bei Yuye wondered why he was asked about Pei Yunchuan’s height.

Yu Nan made an “OK” gesture and asked, “And how tall are you, junior?”

“188.4 cm.” Bei Yuye gave the precise measurement, especially when asked by Nan Nan.

He asked: “Senior, how tall are you?”

Yu Nan touched his nose: “My height is 178 cm.”

“That’s 180 already. Senior, you’re so tall.” he couldn’t help but praise.

Yu Nan covered his face, not wanting to be praised by someone taller than himself.

He silently noted: Milk Tea is 187.8 cm.

Dream are everything: “Is Milk Tea really that tall?”

Dreams are.everything: “I always imagined him as short.”

Yu Nan laughed: “Why?”

Dreams.are.everything: “Just imagining a little monkey, thin and short and noisy.”

Yu Nan’s first impression of Milk Tea wasn’t noisy: he was actually aloof in real life, and Sensitive Guy was also aloof.

Yu Nan: “The first time I met them both, I was a bit scared. They were like two pillars standing there.”

Dreams are everything: “Kitty, I always thought of her as a big sister, Rain is quietly falling is cute, and Watch the sword is cheeky.”

Dreams.are everything: “Yu Yu seems very gay, and Doggo is very honest.”

Yu Nan found a thumbs-up emoji and sent it.

Yu Nan: “Your first impressions are really accurate.”
