Halooo, itâs Xena bringing you a 4 chapter teaser, feel free to pick it up! Just donât take things toooo seriously here, one of its major themes is comedy. Thatâs all, enjoy~
Fang Mo frowned. He was gradually becoming impatient while listening to the sounds of crackling keyboard brought by typing on the other side of the phone.
âStop arguing,â he complained, âWho goes to the internet everyday and doesnât encounter at least 17, 18 retards? Would you seriously busy yourself with each one?â
âWait a minute,â The clacking of a keyboard on the other side still sounded, âIâll be done scolding after these two sentences!â
Fang Mo was speechless.
A few hours ago, Zou Shun had shyly told him that he had some emotional troubles to discuss with him, with a bashful expression that made him very uncomfortable.
Out of love for gossip, Fang Mo readily agreed.
However, when the scheduled time for their call came, Zou Shun was so busy fighting online that he couldnât spare time to talk to him.
âWTF, so disgusting! Makes me want to vomit!â Zou Shun shouted as he typed, âWhen will these stupid x narcissistic straight men become a little bit self-aware?!â
Fang Mo, who was at a loss, became inevitably curious. âWhatâs the matter?â
âIâll give you the link, read it yourself and youâll understand!â Zou Shun said.
Fang Mo hung up the phone and opened the web link Zou Shun sent.
His eyebrows instantly rose when he saw the title clearly.
ãWhat kind of experience is it to be too handsome and too popular? ã
There were countless replies to the question. A large number of males enthusiastically commented one after another, actively posting a photo of themselves with different filters and varying expressions and postures. What Zou Shun showed him was one of the responses. It had few likes, but a lot of posts below it.
The responder described himself as not very handsome, roughly around middle-upper level, but didnât know why the same sex was particularly attracted to him. Too many pursuits and harassment from men made him miserable, so much so that he couldnât help but get goose bumps whenever he heard the word âgayâ. He really wanted to know what aspect of him attracted these people, and if he could, he would like to change it right away. Popularity sounded like a good thing, but being welcomed by someone he didnât welcome was simply tragic, and he politely declines.
These words were naturally unpleasant in the eyes of a person oriented towards the same sex.
What was more speechless-inducing was that this person didnât post a photo of himself, giving another reason for an uncontrollable eye roll.
âItâs not that Iâm being shameless, the sentence above is true. I dare not post photos because Iâm afraid that male compatriots who are oriented toward men will have unnecessary thoughts about me after seeing it. For safety reasons, forget it.â
One big word popped out in Fang Moâs mind: SHAMELESS.
Among the hundreds of replies to the question, there were too many negative demonstrations. All sorts of men with fantastic oddities of every description1Â posted ugly photos that people couldnât look straight at for more than three seconds, with corresponding narration of how a large number of the opposite sex were head over heels for them. Looking closely at the case, it was nothing more than âthe ticket seller Miss smiled at me, does she want to marry meâ or âmy female colleague who took the initiative to say three sentences to me today must have deep feelings for me.â
This person without a doubt also misunderstood his appearance and attractiveness. With him replacing and imagining the target party as the same sex, it was estimated that he was either deep in the closet or a pathological homophobe.
Most of these embarrassing narcissistic men were disregarded, even if someone secretly made fun of them, no one would go over and quarrel directly. But the crowd who was disgusted with this person was comparatively more extreme. When clicking open the comment section, it was full of all kinds of frigid irony and scorching satire. In addition to the angry gays, there were also a certain number of spectators who wished for the world to be in chaos, demanding loudly that he should hurry up and post photos to open everyoneâs eyes.
Fang Mo soon found Zou Shunâs username. He had scolded vigorously and said, an ugly straight man who doesnât have a spring and autumn dream2. When seeing a man, he thinks the other is interested in him. Iâm afraid his chrysanthemum is itching and empty. Itâs better to poke durians in instead of going into heat here in public. He also said that if the other posted a photo and it made a wave of fluctuations in his junior, then he would immediately kneel down in apology and call him Daddy.
This comment was actually replied to by that person.
âStop stop stop, just forget it if you donât believe it. Just treat it like Iâm talking nonsense, itâs fine.â
He sent similar responses to many people. It seemed gentle and easy-going, but that was what made it even more irritating. It was no wonder Zou Shun was fuming with rage and insisted on fighting to death with him.
Zou Shun sent him a voice message: [âDonât you think this person is asking for a beating?!â]
Fang Mo answered in seconds, [âYes.â]
In fact, Fang Mo was also a person who felt very good about himself. Of course, in his point of view, that was an adequate and objective evaluation of his own charm.
Since he was sensible, he had taken advantage of having a likable face. In his 20 years of existence, heâd heard countless compliments and had been a popular candidate for campus idol since middle school.
But even so, the number of the same-sex or the opposite-sex chasing after him were not enough to make him distressed. As a young man who has long realized that he was oriented towards the same sex, he knew that many of his peers were indeed casual, but it was also unlikely that when seeing a handsome man, they would shamelessly post about it online. Especially in such a close circle of a hundred flowers blooming3Â in aesthetics, many gays have very heavy tastes, and they could even go into estrus towards the same person.
Fang Mo also wanted to mock this unpleasant narcissistic straight man. But as it had progressed so far, no matter how fierce or excessive the scolding was, this guy would not obediently post photos.
After pondering for half a minute, Fang Mo cooked up a plan.
He turned the computer on, logged in to his account, came to the post, and began to construct a reply.
âMy brother, I understand your pain, I also have the same troubles as you. I donât know why there are always men who cast flirtatious glances at me and throw themselves at me. If I speak about it, other people also wonât believe me, and they say that itâs just my fantasy and ego talking. Ai, itâs worrying!â
Soon, he received several replies, among these were surprisingly Zou Shunâs as well.
âYo, Mister, it wonât be inconvenient for you to upload photos, right?â
Fang Mo held back a smile, and replied in the tone of that person.
âItâs not that I donât want to, itâs that Iâm afraid that you will fall in love with me.â
Assuming that Zou Shun would inevitably explode because of this, Fang Mo quickly took a screenshot and sent it to the other person.
[âThis is me, donât accidentally hurt your ally!â]
Zou Shun immediately returned a gif of a blackman with question marks.4
[âFishing,â] Fang Mo replied.
Upon refreshing again, the person replied.
âThere are still people who suffer and empathize with me, brother, you have also gone through hardship.â
Fang Mo responded immediately.
âYes ah. In all honesty, I like soft and cute girls!â
âHahaha who doesnât.â
After going back and forth, the two of them just chatted as if there were nobody else in the bulletin comment area. Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Mo poked the other partyâs personal profile and clicked to send a private message.
[âMy friend, I have an idea, hear it and see if it makes sense.â]
After sending the message, he soon received a reply.
[âSay it?â]
[âMaybe thereâs something common between us that easily stimulates those people. If we know where the problem lies, we can reasonably avoid it in the future.â]
[âWhat you said makes sense. But weâre not gay, how can we know where the gay points are?â]
Fang Mo clicked on his own photo album and selected a carefully edited five-star handsome photo of a self-acknowledged charismatic knockoff which was actually his real selfie with three layers of filters that still seemed natural. He clicked send with confidence.
[âHereâs my picture, maybe we look similar somewhere!â]
After half a minute, the other side replied.
[âDamn! Brother, you are so handsome!â]
Fang Mo smiled slightly, very satisfied with the answer.
It was merely fishing so there was actually no need to post real photos of himself. But he wanted to let the straight man on the other side, who didnât know good from bad, to know what real handsomeness looked like.
[âItâs okay, just above average,â] He replied hypocritically.
[âIf this is above average, then Iâm lower than below average. Honestly, I donât think our appearance has anything in common. It seems that homosexual aesthetics are quite diverse.â]
The narcissistic straight man unexpectedly made humble remarks.
[âReally, can I take a look?â] Fang Mo hurriedly asked.
[âIâm a passer-by compared to you, donât laugh,â] The other party replied.
Then, before Fang Mo could urge him again, a picture appeared in a dialog box. After clicking it open, the loading circle revolved twice and a young man in a white t-shirt smiling a little awkwardly at the camera appeared on Fang Moâs computer screen.
This was obviously a photo taken by him. The lighting was ordinary and the background messy; there was no pre- or post-editing of any sort.
There was another new message in the private message dialog box, but Fang Mo didnât look at it immediately. He stared at the photo and stood up slowly, swallowed silently, and licked his lips as his heart beat wildly.
At that moment, the phone at the side vibrated. Zou Shun was calling him.
âHow was it, have you swindled a photo? Whatâs the level?â
Fang Mo didnât reply, his heart inexplicably flustered.
Whatâs the level? It was at the level where he and his little brother could promptly stand up to express the highest level of respect.
How could someoneâs looks hit his lethal spots like this? Every strand of hair pierced his heartâs key point, and his awkward smile looked so sexy and sultry, like a hormone transmitter.
âHello, can you hear me? Send me the photos so I can take a look?â Zou Shun urged.
No, that wonât do. Fang Mo lowered his head and coughed. âIt failed, he ignored me.â
This was not being stingy and unwilling to share.
He valued affection and justice, how could he let his friend just kneel down like this and call someone daddy so easily?
While Fang Mo was thinking so, he right-clicked on the photo and selected save.
