From a nobody online dating to a top love brain - Chapter 37

“Which room is he in?” Pei Yunchuan asked through gritted teeth.

Deadpan Face: “You like guys; I’m not stopping you from finding one.”

“Where’s Bei Yuye?” Every word from his brother was poking at his nerves, and he was fuming that the guy had actually sent a recording.

Yu Nan pointed toward a room, but sensing Pei Yunchuan’s mood was off, he added, “Just don’t be too harsh with him.”

Pei Yunchuan knocked furiously, while Yu Nan pulled him back, “Keep it down; it’s late, don’t disturb everyone.”

Watch the sword and Kitty, who were on their way back to their room, stopped. Kitty asked, “What’s going on?”

“Deep Affectionate guy sent the recording to my brother! I’m going to settle this!” Pei Yunchuan shouted, clinging to the door.

Watch the sword perked up, “he is here? Why is Yu Yu still sharing a room with you? He should be looking for him!”

The door swung open, revealing a dark room. Bei Yuye peeked out, only to be pushed back inside by Pei Yunchuan.

Yu Nan adopted a dramatic tone as he stepped in, “Don’t bully him!”

“Nan Nan? I’m scared,” Bei Yuye said, confused, as he fumbled to turn on the light.

Just as he reached for the switch, Yu Nan slapped his hand down, having already removed his wig. There was no way he was letting Bei Yuye turn on the lights.

Pei Yunchuan scowled, “You’re scared? You sent the recording to my brother! You’re the one lacking integrity!”

Bei Yuye pulled Yu Nan into his arms, pouting, “I thought no one was coming, so I thought you ditched me. I even thought you were so confident now that you weren’t afraid of your brother anymore.”

The room was pitch black, but Kitty and Watch the sword outside could still read the tension from their voices.

“Okay, okay, it’s my fault! I’ll call your brother!” Bei Yuye quickly backpedaled, realizing he was in the wrong.

“Bro, the recording was my mistake; it has nothing to do with Pei Yunchuan.” As soon as the call connected, Bei Yuye adopted a conciliatory tone.

Pei Yunchuan chimed in, “Right, right, it’s his fault. He told me to bring him his real online partner, and he wouldn’t send the recording, but he sent it early!”

“Pei Yunchuan…”

“Hey, I’m here.”

“I’m sending you a few books; study the art of language. Every time you open your mouth, it sounds like it’s all your fault.”

“Well, that’s not my fault.” Bei Yuye hung up, feeling resigned. He reached up to touch Yu Nan’s head, noticing the wig was off.

Bei Yuye squeezed his voice higher, “Why are you here?”

“Just came to check on you.” In the dark, Yu Nan could only make out Bei Yuye’s silhouette and leaned in to give him a kiss.

Pei Yunchuan frowned, “let’s head back to our room; I’m feeling uneasy.”

“See you in the morning!” Yu Nan released Bei Yuye.

Bei Yuye questioned, “Are you two sharing a room?”

“Yep, with two single beds,” Yu Nan replied.

Bei Yuye wrapped his arms around his waist, resting his chin on his shoulder, looking dejected, “Why aren’t you staying with me?”

Pei Yunchuan pulled Yu Nan away from him and mimicked his voice, “Hey, why aren’t you staying with me?”

“Okay, okay, I’m tired; let’s get some sleep,” Yu Nan said, patting Pei Yunchuan and pulling him out.

Seeing Bei Yuye following behind, Yu Nan quickly pushed Pei Yunchuan out and closed the door behind him.

He turned to the others outside with a friendly smile, “You know I don’t want him to see me without my skirt.”

Pei Yunchuan, still holding the skewers he hadn’t given away, grumbled, “He’s ruining my reputation in front of my brother.”

“I’m sorry; it’s my fault too. If I hadn’t wanted to avoid him, you wouldn’t have had to go meet him,” Yu Nan said apologetically.

Pei Yunchuan stomped his foot in frustration, waving at him, “It’s not your fault; it’s all his fault!”

“Alright, alright, let’s all get some sleep; we’ll wake up at eight tomorrow!” Kitty signaled with her fingers to indicate “eight.”

Watch the sword hugged her, “Then let’s head back to our room too.”

The next morning, Yu Nan woke up earlier than anyone else. He started getting ready, ordering some beauty supplies through delivery, confident in his makeup skills after watching tutorials all night.

If Bei Yuye could learn to kiss so easily, learning makeup would be a piece of cake for him.

Kitty had already delivered a set of clothes for him last night: a golden, curly short wig and a two-piece outfit—a yellow puff-sleeved top paired with a little skirt.

He felt quite capable, slipping on lace socks without any hesitation.

Maybe it was because everyone complimented him on how pretty he looked yesterday, but his confidence soared. It was just a pity that the room lacked a full-length mirror, so he couldn’t see how he looked.

When Pei Yunchuan woke up, he struggled to open his eyes. In his groggy state, he saw shadows moving around and, once he focused, his heart almost stopped as he scrambled back in shock.

Yu Nan was startled, asking, “What are you going crazy about so early in the morning?”

Pei Yunchuan suddenly remembered that Yu Nan would be in women’s clothes and got scared again, mistaking him for a girl because of the changing color of the wig.

There was a knock at the door, and Yu Nan cheerfully opened it to grab the breakfast delivery. Not knowing what everyone liked, he had ordered steamed buns for each of them.

“Here’s your bun,” he said, tossing one to Pei Yunchuan.

“If they don’t eat, at least there are buns to munch on,”he thought.

Kitty was the first to enter the room, dressed in her usual short top and wide-legged pants, wearing sunglasses and carrying a small bag. Watch the sword’s outfit was similar to Kitty’s.

“Why aren’t you both in skirts?” Yu Nan had expected them to wear dresses.

“Wow, you did your makeup really well,” Kitty said, rushing over to examine his face closely. It was surprising—he didn’t look any worse than her.

“I watched makeup tutorials all night,” Yu Nan replied.

“Just watching videos makes you this good? You have talent—no wonder you’re my friend!” Kitty patted him on the shoulder.

Then, Doggo called, laughter ringing through the phone. “Haha, Rain is quietly falling is still in bed; Milk Tea had a bit of revenge and kicked him! Now he is chasing him around the room!”

“Send a video!”

Doggo turned on the camera, revealing Rain and Milk Tea in a chaotic chase. He asked, “Hey, has Yu Yu’s Deep Affectionate guy gotten up yet?”

Yu Nan set down his congee and picked up his phone. “I’ll go check.”

“Is it just him who didn’t get breakfast? We all did?” Kitty laughed.

Yu Nan fidgeted with his hands. He had indeed brought a portion for Bei Yuye, but felt shy when Kitty asked, mumbling, “I got him one.”

“Are you going to deliver it?”

He nodded, not very confidently. He had planned to sneak it over to him. 

“Oh no, you’re getting trapped!” Watch the sword tugged on Kitty’s arm, shaking her excitedly.

Yu Nan stood up to grab the breakfast. He hummed softly, “I’m not trapped; I just want to check on him.”

As he passed by them, he noticed that while Kitty liked wearing platform shoes, Watch the sword had somehow also worn them. They were both taller than him.

“Dead Watch the sword, you said you were only 155 cm in the group chat,” he brought up an old topic.

Watch the sword laughed. “I thought being short was cute, so I lied about my height.”

“So how tall are you?”

He grinned, “Just 174 cm.”

Yu Nan had never felt short before. Although he wasn’t 180 cm, he was a solid 178 cm—not exceptionally tall, but definitely not short. Standing next to them now, he felt his height was lacking.

Watch the sword reassured him, “I’m wearing platform shoes, so it’s normal for me to be taller; realistically, you’re taller than us.”

Yu Nan had messaged Bei Yuye earlier, who replied that he was already washing up. He stood at the door, knocking while fiddling with his skirt and adjusting his wig.

When Bei Yuye heard the knock, he opened the door quickly, shirtless, intentionally waiting for Yu Nan to see. He wasn’t calculating, just craving attention.

The moment Yu Nan saw him, his eyes widened. The senior had changed his wig, and the creamy yellow skirt made him look radiant.

Yu Nan couldn’t take his eyes off Bei Yuye’s defined muscles and lifted the breakfast bag. “I brought you breakfast. Are you hungry?”

“Are you staring at my stomach because you’re worried I’m hungry?” Bei Yuye teased, noticing how openly Yu Nan was looking.

While he was playing along, he also wanted the senior to notice his face. He was typical—wanting both.

Yu Nan casually touched his abs and smiled up at him, “So, are you hungry?”

There were many purple marks on Bei Yuye’s neck, and Yu Nan had only kissed his collarbone yesterday.

“What’s that on your neck?” he asked.

Bei Yuye blushed and explained, “I thought I’d be meeting your friends today, so I did it to show them how impressive you are.”

Yu Nan truly had no words for that.

“You look beautiful today, and the skirt is cute—you look like a little cream puff,” Bei Yuye said, circling Yu Nan with admiration.

Yu Nan felt elated from the compliments and replied, “You look pretty handsome too.”

Before he could process it, Bei Yuye quickly leaned in and kissed him. His mind was flooded with thoughts of kissing, which he found both thrilling and alarming, unable to help himself.

“I want to kiss you again—the way you did in the theater last night,” Yu Nan said seriously. The brief peck earlier had barely registered, leaving him wanting more.
