Tòumíng's old frugal DNA—the part that had survived on street food and smuggled quartz for years, screamed in horror. Twenty-eight thousand yuan a month?! That was almost ten times what he'd been paying! That was his old yearly income condensed into a single month's housing payment!
But his new money DNA—the part that had made almost two hundred thousand yuan in two weeks and bought designer clothes on impulse, whispered seductively. He could afford it. Easily. And the place was incredible. And Měi Nán would be living there(gooner plus). And infinity pool.
He sighed, his internal debate resolving in favor of ridiculous excess.
"Fine. Okay. We'll look at it."
Měi Nán squealed with delight.
Tòumíng opened a new message to compose an email to the property owner, Háo Héng. He needed to sound professional. Responsible. Like someone who could actually afford a twenty-eight-thousand-yuan-per-month villa and wasn't just some teenager who'd lucked into money.
Dear Mr. Háo,
I am writing to express my interest in the Guanlan Lake villa currently listed for—
Měi Nán snatched the phone from his hands.
"What are you doing?! I was writing an email!"
"You were writing a boring email." Měi Nán's thumbs flew across the keyboard with practiced speed. "Watch and learn."
He typed exactly fifteen words and hit send before Tòumíng could stop him.
We have a lot of money. Book a date and we will pay for it.
"NO!" Tòumíng lunged for the phone. "That's so unprofessional! He's going to think we're scammers or—"
"Relax. Rich people don't waste time with pleasantries." Měi Nán held the phone out of reach. "Besides, I'm curious about something."
"About what?"
"Let's see how freaky you really are."
Měi Nán exited the real estate app and navigated to the browser. Specifically, to the history button.
Tòumíng's blood ran cold. "Wait—"
"MY PHONE HAS A HISTORY OF WEBSITES I'VE BEEN TO?!" Tòumíng's voice rose with genuine panic and confusion. "It TRACKS that?!"
"Oh, honey." Měi Nán's grin was absolutely feral. "Sweet, innocent, newly-internet-enabled baby. Yes. It tracks everything."
He clicked.
Tòumíng clawed at the phone desperately, trying to grab it back, but Měi Nán danced away, keeping it just out of reach while his eyes scanned the screen.
The search history loaded.

Měi Nán burst out laughing. Not polite chuckling. Full, uncontrolled laughter that made him double over, tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
"OH MY GOD!" He gasped between laughs. "You have a TYPE! Like, specifically, precisely, exactly one very specific type!"
"GIVE ME MY PHONE!" Tòumíng's face was burning hot enough to cook an egg on. He made another desperate grab for it.
More laughter. "They're all the same thing! Cute femboy this, crossdresser that, makeup enthusiast—"
"SHUT UP!"
"And The Reddit discussion!" Měi Nán was practically crying now. "You were researching! Trying to figure yourself out! That's actually adorable!"
Tòumíng finally managed to snatch the phone back, his entire body radiating embarrassment. "It's not—I was just—it's research! Educational purposes!"
"Educational purposes." Měi Nán wiped his eyes, still grinning. "Is that what we're calling it now?"
"I hate you."
"No you don't. You think I'm cute." Měi Nán's grin turned teasing. "Cute enough to watch forty videos about people exactly like me."
Tòumíng turned and walked toward his bedroom without responding, clutching his phone like it had personally betrayed him, which, in a way, it had.
"Aw, don't be pouty!" Měi Nán called after him. "I think it's sweet! You have a type and I happen to fit it perfectly! That's fate!"
Tòumíng slammed the bedroom door.
Měi Nán's laughter continued from the living room, punctuated by occasional comments like "forty videos!" and "I'm never letting you live this down!"
Cupid, mercifully, stayed silent. Probably because he was laughing too hard to form words.
Tòumíng flopped face-first onto his bed, phone still clutched in his hand, and seriously considered deleting his entire browser history, his phone, and possibly himself.
