WTCM 1. The Shy 0 Looking for a 1

Chen Tianxiang sipped his beer, pretending to enjoy it while discreetly scanning the bar for someone who might be up for some fun and excitement.

Still no one suitable.

He took another swig, feeling frustrated but hiding it well. His back remained straight, his expression calm, and his cold, striking features radiated an unapproachable aura. The chilling vibe he gave off seemed to lower the temperature within a three-meter radius around the bar.

“I have to say, Xiang-ge, every time you show up, our bar’s air conditioning gets a break,” commented the bartender, Luo Xiao. He had been watching the icy, handsome figure drinking alone for a while now. Not a single person had dared to approach him all night, and Luo Xiao thought it was a tragic waste. Resting his chin on the bar, he tilted his head, giving Chen Tianxiang an amused look. His snug black T-shirt showed off his firm chest, and his tanned skin accentuated his sculpted collarbones. He looked so enticing that anyone might feel the urge to lean over and take a bite.

“Xiang-ge, those little 0s are practically drooling over you. If you’d just agree to be a 1, I guarantee you’d have a new partner every day. You’d never have to worry about being alone,” Luo Xiao teased. In his heart, he silently added, If that happens, I’d be the first to pounce on you. Where else could I find a handsome guy with a body like yours?

Chen Tianxiang shot him a glare, his expression dark as he set his beer glass down with a firm clink. “Who said I’m looking for company? If you think I’m bad for business, I’ll pay my bill and leave right now.”

“Hey, don’t be like that! My bad, I misspoke. Let me apologize. This one’s on me, Xiang-ge,” Luo Xiao quickly said as he refilled Chen Tianxiang’s beer. In his mind, though, he couldn’t help but think, Even if no one dares to approach you, plenty of people are admiring you from a distance.

For the past ten days, Chen Tianxiang had shown up here right on schedule, and business at this gay bar had improved by at least thirty percent. There was no way Luo Xiao was letting his best customer leave.

Still, Luo Xiao couldn’t wrap his head around it. This guy looked like he could be a poster boy for the National Honor Guard with his tall, commanding presence and handsome features. How could he be a pure bottom? And such a picky one at that. After rejecting several decent tops, no one dared to approach him anymore. He was like a massive, icy bottom-shaped mountain, wasting the gay community’s finest resources.

In the gay scene, Chen Tianxiang was something of a celebrity. Even though he wasn’t the type to party around, his image was enough to make him stand out. With a body that screamed “top” but the insistence on being a pure bottom, he was already unconventional. What people loved to gossip about even more, though, was his reputation for loyalty.

He had been in a committed relationship for five years, never strayed, and had no scandals to his name. Yet, all that dedication earned him nothing but a boyfriend who cheated constantly. In the end, his boyfriend dumped him for a delicate, pretty little 0.

Chen Tianxiang angrily took another swig of beer. What was so great about those soft, fragile little twinks? Could they save him from drowning if he cramped while swimming? Could they carry him down a mountain if he sprained his ankle? Could they toss him into the water with a playful 360-degree spin after making love? He didn’t think so.

He had made up his mind. No more wasting time on scumbags. He was going to find a real man. An endless stream of real men. But why was it so hard to find one?

As he sighed, ready to admit that tonight would be another failure, Luo Xiao suddenly jumped excitedly and tugged at him. “Xiang-ge, look behind you! It’s exactly your type!”

“What are you talking about? I’m not here to pick up guys,” Chen Tianxiang scoffed, feigning disinterest as he glanced casually in the direction Luo Xiao pointed. Despite his outward indifference, his heart was pounding.

A fresh face had just walked into the bar. The man was tall, with a well-proportioned build, a toned waist, and a flat stomach without a trace of fat. His features were bold and striking, with thick brows, large eyes, a straight nose, and a defined jawline. Though there was a hint of boyishness in his face, he exuded the rare charm of a sunny, athletic guy.

It was exactly his type, even better-looking than that scumbag ex. Chen Tianxiang firmly belonged to the “face-value crowd,” and seeing someone like this walk in caught him completely off guard. His heart raced with excitement and worry. The man seemed to be alone, likely looking for a hookup, but what if one of those flamboyant little twinks swooped in first?

Chen Tianxiang knew he looked like a top, so the chances of the man approaching him were slim. Should he make the first move? But what if the guy wasn’t into someone as tall and broad as him? If he got rejected, wouldn’t it be humiliating in front of everyone?

The newcomer politely declined several invites from other bottoms before locking eyes on the tall man sitting at the bar. His gaze sharpened like a leopard spotting its prey, glowing with excitement. In a few bold strides, he made his way to the bar, pulled out the stool beside Chen Tianxiang, and sat down casually.

“Got a minute? Want to grab a drink together?”

It was like winning the jackpot. Chen Tianxiang’s head was spinning, fireworks exploding in his brain, but he kept his cool. He let only a flicker of excitement show before nodding slightly, playing it calm.

Both of them were here for one thing, and they didn’t waste any time. Half a drink later, they left the bar to get a room. Chen Tianxiang hadn’t gotten laid since dumping his cheating ex. Weeks of frustration had built up, and he was more than ready to fuck it all out tonight.

The sound of running water was accompanied by some horribly off-key singing. Chen Tianxiang’s mouth twitched as he listened. It sounded like the guy was belting out O Sole Mio, but by the time he dragged out the word “sun,” it had morphed into a medley of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: “Don’t think I’m just a little sheep… sheep, sheep, sheep…”

Chen Tianxiang suddenly felt it was absolutely necessary to ask how old this guy was. These days, young people developed so well it was hard to tell. If this guy turned out to be underage, he wasn’t about to break the law.

“Baby, I’m ready for you!” The singing abruptly stopped, and a naked, muscular man burst out of the bathroom, water droplets flying off him as he stomped across the floor, leaving wet footprints in his wake. He lunged toward Chen Tianxiang on the bed.

Chen Tianxiang swiftly dodged, letting the guy crash face-first onto the mattress. Sitting at the edge of the bed, his gaze drifted to the man’s lean waist and long, straight legs. Swallowing hard, he thought to himself, This guy looks like he’s got some serious stamina. If we really go for it, he probably won’t go soft for at least half an hour.

Of course, Chen Tianxiang’s words never matched his true feelings. Even though he was itching to jump into bed and get down to business, he kept a calm façade and asked, “Qi Haiyang, how old are you? You’re not underage, are you?”

They had exchanged names when they first met, though Chen Tianxiang didn’t really care whether it was real or fake. It was just a one-night stand, after all. If things clicked, maybe they could become regular hookup buddies. If not, they’d likely never see each other again. He was heartbroken and over it. All he wanted was someone to meet his physical needs. No strings, no emotions.

“What the hell! Do I look underage to you?” Qi Haiyang shouted in mock outrage. He leapt off the bed and rummaged through his discarded clothes for proof. After a moment of searching, all he managed to pull out was a bank card.

“I’m twenty-one! Graduating college next year! Look, my signature’s on this bank card!”

“Well…” Qi Haiyang hadn’t brought his ID or student card. Who would’ve thought this handsome guy would be such a busybody, questioning his age right before getting into bed? Flustered, he scratched his stomach, but then glanced down and got an idea.

Grinning smugly, he gave his crotch a couple of quick rubs, then stood with his hands on his hips, proudly wagging the half-hard evidence between his legs.

“Look at this! You think someone underage could pack this size?”

“Pfft… Fine, I’ll take your word for it,” Chen Tianxiang couldn’t hold back his laughter. This guy might seem cocky, but he clearly had a screw loose. As he untied the belt of his bathrobe and moved toward the bed, Chen Tianxiang couldn’t help but feel satisfied. Qi Haiyang ticked all the right boxes, and now that he didn’t have any reservations, he found himself eager to get started.

“Man, you scared the hell out of me! That sour look on your face just now… I almost thought you were a cop checking IDs!” Qi Haiyang let out a relieved laugh and flopped onto the bed. Pulling at the hem of Chen Tianxiang’s bathrobe, he peeked underneath with a playful grin.

“Seriously, you’re such a hassle. Why bother putting clothes back on after a shower? Look at me. Everything’s out in the open. One glance is all it takes to know if we’re compatible or not!”

Chen Tianxiang slowly slid off the barely-there bathrobe, letting out a soft laugh. “Oh? So, what do you think? Like what you see?”

“Love it! Absolutely love it!” Qi Haiyang pounced like a starving wolf, yanking down the only thing left on Chen Tianxiang’s body, a leopard-print thong. “Damn, a thong? And leopard print, too! This is the first time I’ve ever seen a guy wear one in real life!”

Chen Tianxiang couldn’t help but blush. Sure, his outerwear was proper, a T-shirt and long pants, but underneath he had slipped on a pair of playful sexy underwear. He hadn’t expected this guy to make such a big deal out of it.

“Not something you see often?”

“Yeah, my friend who I’m close with was a senior on the school’s basketball team. That guy… haha, he’s all muscles, built like a tank, but when he put something like this on, he looked like a freakin’ monster.” Qi Haiyang spoke as he swallowed the semi-soft cock into his mouth, and after a few sucks, it hardened against his throat. He purred softly, then pulled it out, holding it in his hands before eagerly taking a bite at the tip.

“I knew I wasn’t wrong! You are tall, and your dick is big too!”

Chen Tianxiang chuckled, pulling him up and wrapping his arms around Qi Haiyang’s waist, giving him a squeeze. He then pressed down on the six-pack abs, clearly satisfied, and guided him onto the bed.

Qi Haiyang could smell the man’s fresh, intoxicating scent. As he lay on top of him, he kissed and nibbled, leaving a trail of saliva on his neck, chest, and stomach. Soon enough, he was kneeling, his backside raised, heading straight for Chen Tianxiang’s legs and took the fully erect cock into his mouth.
