From a nobody online dating to a top love brain - Chapter 32

“Okay.” Yu Nan turned and curled back into bed, feeling extremely anxious. He turned his head to @Milk Tea: What kind of nickname did Deep Feelings Guy give you, Little Fairy?

His fingers tightened around his phone, trembling unconsciously. He tried to control his emotions, but it was completely futile.

Milk Tea: How did you know? He gave you the nickname Little Fairy because he saw our group name.

Yu Nan’s heart sank; how could this be happening? The world is so big, yet somehow his online friend bumped into another online friend.

Yu Yu: Did he also get a tattoo?

This time he didn’t even use a question mark.

Milk Tea: Yes, yes! It drove me crazy back then. He insisted on getting it and said he wanted to tattoo the other person’s name. Did he know the other person’s name? He didn’t, so he got the initials of their username.

Kitty: Card pants one!!!

Doggo: Our Yu Yu is the same; their couple ring is also engraved with the initials of a username.

Yu Nan was filled with helpless rage in his blanket. Just the thought of being honest with his junior made him shiver. How could it be a junior?

He kept switching between his accounts, feeling increasingly lost. He wanted to break up with Bei Bei but felt a bit reluctant.

This was a disaster; he was actually reluctant. He never thought he would become someone who gets carried away by love.

He asked: I’m worried that I might run into my partner at school, so I decided to break up with him, but I’ve been hesitating.

Yu Yu: Am I love-struck? I feel so bad; I really like his abs, I really like his chest, and even though we haven’t met, we video call. These things are definitely a part of me.

He spammed crying emojis, hoping everyone could empathize.

Doggo: With all due respect, you’re thinking about love-struck too simply.

Kitty: It’s obvious you’re just craving his body.

Doggo: Generally, those who think they’re love-struck are not; only someone truly love-struck thinks they’re not.

Yu Nan felt much better. He realized he was just purely craving him, not love-struck.

Yu Yu: Thank you for your comfort. It’s good to know I’m not love-struck.

Yu Yu: I’ve watched his chest muscles grow bigger little by little. I really don’t want to let go.

The more he spoke, the more he got into it: And his cute voice, can you guys understand? He tells me bedtime stories, and he calls me “brother.”

Kitty: You keep talking; you want someone else to do that with you after growing up together?

When Yu Nan thought of that scene, he couldn’t accept it: I don’t want that; I only want to do it myself.

He angrily typed: I’ve never done it before; I only know how to talk big, but I really want to.

But as he envisioned his junior’s face, just thinking about lifting his head to meet the icy gaze of his junior made him almost cry.

Milk Tea: Um…

Milk Tea: Are you talking about Deep Feelings Guy?

Doggo: Isn’t Deep Feelings Guy considered the love-struck one in our group?

Milk Tea: Yu Yu even specifically asked me about the nickname. Guess why he asked?

Kitty: No way, don’t tell me it’s what I think!

Doggo also realized: This is crazy; one is a hopeless romantic, and the other is a playboy. Their love story is perfectly presented!

Milk Tea: After a quick calculation with my smart brain, gathering all the details, I conclude that Yu Yu is not love-struck; the only love-struck one is Deep Feelings Guy!

Yu Nan initially didn’t clarify because he was afraid Milk Tea would find out; Milk Tea, with her big mouth, might inadvertently spill the beans.

Kitty: Milk Tea, what are you talking about?

Dreams are everything: Same question.

Milk Tea: Haven’t you figured it out?

Milk Tea: Yu Yu knows Deep Feelings Guy has a tattoo, so he came to ask me.

Milk Tea: Let’s treat this as a problem to solve.

Kitty: Alright, continue.

Milk Tea: Yu Yu thinks he’s love-struck but doesn’t want to be, so he compared himself to the universally recognized love-struck Deep Feelings Guy.

Milk Tea: It’s known that he gave his Cutie Guy a ring engraved with a username, and he learned Deep Feelings Guy has a tattoo of the other person’s username, so he came to verify with me. The result proves that Deep Feelings Guy indeed has a tattoo, thus Yu Yuhas no suspicion of being love-struck.

Milk Tea: Be careful, tattoos and engraved rings are not comparable.

Milk Tea: So, only Deep Feelings Guy is love-struck.

This wave of Milk Tea’s clever operations made Yu Nan laugh; he almost thought he knew: That’s well said; don’t tell this next time.

Doggo sent Milk Tea a red envelope: You go figure it out first at the supermarket before joining our discussion.

Watch the sword: @Milk Tea, that was a smooth operation; there’s no hiding it here.

Watch the sword: Is this Deep Feelings Guy Cutie Guy?

Dreams are everything: If Deep Feelings Guy told Yu Yu he has a tattoo, he wouldn’t come to verify with Milk Tea.

Kitty: Plus the nickname Little Fairy, Yu Yu asked about it twice. They might have quarreled over it before.

Doggo: Cutie Guy and Yu Yu are in the same school, freshmen, in the Art School, with the ring.

Yu Nan initially didn’t think to hide it: It’s all messed up!

Rain is quietly falling: Why are you afraid of meeting in person?

Yu Nan couldn’t quite explain it; online chatting can be very flirty, but he felt too shy to be that way in real life.

Yu Yu: Forget it, I’ll just play dumb.

Milk Tea: Wait, is Cutie Guy Deep Feelings Guy?

Yu Yu: Please don’t tell him.

Milk Tea: I want to see my friend dangling from my other friend!

Yu Nan replied: He’s an adult; he has the ability to discern right from wrong. I can recognize he’s my online dating partner, but he can’t recognize me.

Milk Tea: Do you use a different voice when chatting with him?

Yu Yu: I’ve always used this voice.

Milk Tea: Then that’s his problem. When I first heard your voice, it felt familiar.

Yu Nan silently glanced at Bei Yuye, who was still playing with the ring below. He had mixed feelings; if he could be a little more honest, they could meet in person directly. But he wasn’t; he was just infatuated with the feeling of online dating.

To him, online dating felt very ambiguous, with a special hazy feeling. If it were real and in front of him, that special feeling would be lost.

Watch the sword: So, is Deep Feelings Guy a first or second heir, or is he not in the running at all?

Yu Nan typed fiercely: He’s my boyfriend now.

Watch the sword: Cool. @Milk Tea, your friend is now Yu Yu’s boyfriend, no need to compete.

Bei Yuye’s heart raced as he sat below, staring at his phone screen, waiting for Nan Nan to message him. He was being so obvious; surely he would notice.

He wasn’t unattractive, had a good physique, decent character, excellent grades, and came from a good family. His smile became even more radiant.

What would Nan Nan do first when they meet in person? If he were unusually proactive towards him, what should he do? He felt shy just thinking about it.

The senior hadn’t messaged him yet, and he couldn’t wait any longer. He decided to take the initiative and sent a recent screenshot of his game homepage. He downloaded this game to play with Yu Nan, and the senior also knew this account belonged to him, Bei Yuye.

Bei Bei: There’s a senior in the dorm who plays this game; I thought it was fun, so I downloaded it. Nan Nan, do you play?

Bei Bei: The senior said he wants to bring me along to play.

Yu Nan felt a guilty sensation when he received the message. He casually replied: I’m not playing; you can go play with that senior.

Bei Yuye was puzzled, “Hasn’t Nannan figured it out yet? He must not have remembered my ID or nickname. Silly Nannan.”

“Senior, want to play a game together?” He wanted Nannan to log in, thinking he would figure it out that way.

Yu Nan wondered, “If I told Beibei to go find a senior to play with, would he just go?”

He typed quietly: “Is your senior gay?”

Bei Yuye was puzzled again: “Yes.”

Yu Nan continued: “Is your senior a top or a bottom?”

Beibei: “He’s a bottom.”

Yu Nan asked: “Why don’t you keep a bit of distance? You have a boyfriend, show some boundaries.”

Bei Yuye fell into deep thought, “He’s right.”

“Senior, we can’t play games together anymore. My boyfriend doesn’t allow it,” Bei Yuye said seriously.

“No, wait, I still want to play with you!” Bei Yuye thought to himself, “My boyfriend is Nannan, and Nannan is the senior. So playing with the senior is actually playing with Nannan because they’re the same person.”

“I’m not playing games right now,” Yu Nan replied.

Bei Yuye pouted, “Alright then.”

He thought to himself, “If he doesn’t recognize me, then so be it.” Trying to cheer himself up, he decided to discuss his weekend confession plans with Pei Yunchuan. The flowers and restaurant were already booked, and Pei Yunchuan could help set the mood.

Bei Yuye: “Hey, I’m confessing this weekend. You’re coming too.”

Pei Yunchuan: “???”

Pei Yunchuan: “Who are you confessing to?”

Bei Yuye: “My online crush.”

Pei Yunchuan immediately took a screenshot and shared it in the group chat.

@Yu Yu: “You’re meeting them in real life?”

Yu Nan was confused: “No, I’m not.”

Milk Tea: “I asked him again, and he’s not confessing to you.”

Yu Nan was so shocked he jumped up: “He has another online crush?”

Milk Tea: “I looked at his chat logs. Ugh… It’s disgusting. Their conversations are so gross.”

Yu Nan rarely gets angry, but this time he was furious. When Bei Yuye climbed onto his bed, Yu Nan cursed under his breath, “Idiot.”

Bei Yuye looked up, confused, and met Yu Nan’s angry glare. Seeing Bei Yuye’s innocent, clueless expression made Yu Nan even more frustrated. In the end, he felt like just another fish in someone else’s pond.

He wanted to break up first. He opened the chat with Bei Yuye and typed: “We’re done, idiot.”

Then, he blocked and deleted him in one smooth motion.

Kitty: “Isn’t this story progressing too wildly?”

Yu Nan pressed his lips into a thin line, biting the inside of his lower lip hard. He was filled with anger, realizing that he was the real fool in the end.

Yu Yu: “This feels so awful.”

Pei Yunchuan started a group voice call, and Yu Nan put on his headphones and joined, followed by everyone else.

Yu Nan went to the balcony to talk. He shut the door tightly, crouched in a corner, and vented his frustration: “He acts all innocent, that idiot.”

“Do you guys know how flirty he is? His so-called ‘brother’ casually sends me pictures. He even sent me a video of him taking a shower.”

“His voice gets all soft and sweet, and I was the only one who found it cute. I’m the real idiot.” Yu Nan spoke slowly, his words broken with emotion.

Pei Yunchuan, after seeing the chat logs and comparing the avatars, said: “Didn’t you say you liked someone younger? I told him you’re meeting someone this Saturday—a senior in high school.”
