Why Hasn't The Mind-Reading Him Confessed Yet

Xie Wenxing is a wealthy, handsome high school student who maintains strict emotional and physical distance from others due to a trauma-induced aversion to touch. His life shifts dramatically when he transfers to Yancheng No. 1 High School and encounters Xu Huai'an, a boy of exceptional beauty and aloof demeanor. Upon hearing Xu Huai'an's voice during a public confession scene, Xie Wenxing experiences an intense, involuntary physical reaction that shocks him into recognizing his attraction to men. Despite his initial self-loathing and confusion, he decides to pursue this new feeling, setting a goal to become friends with Xu Huai'an.

Unbeknownst to Xie Wenxing, the world operates under a hidden system where individuals are tasked with winning over Xu Huai'an to prevent global collapse. These participants, known as mission holders, must raise affection points through various means, but all fifty previous attempts have failed. Xu Huai'an possesses the ability to read minds, allowing him to see through the calculated efforts of his pursuers. He views their attempts with disdain and amusement, rejecting them coldly until Xie Wenxing enters his orbit.

Xie Wenxing's approach is entirely different from the mission holders. He is not driven by a desire to complete a task but by a genuine, overwhelming admiration for Xu Huai'an's appearance and voice. His internal monologue is a chaotic mix of ecstasy and panic, often screaming internally at minor accidental contacts, such as brushing shoulders, while maintaining a calm exterior. This stark contrast between his outward composure and inner turmoil piques Xu Huai'an's interest, who begins to view Xie Wenxing as a novel source of entertainment.

As Xie Wenxing navigates his new school life, he engages in increasingly bold but secretive behaviors, such as stealing Xu Huai'an's used pencil and sitting in his desk to inhale his scent. These actions are driven by his deepening obsession and his struggle with his touch aversion, which paradoxically does not apply to Xu Huai'an. Meanwhile, Xu Huai'an observes Xie Wenxing's timid, rabbit-like reactions with growing curiosity, finding himself unexpectedly drawn to the boy's authenticity and lack of ulterior motives.

The narrative explores the developing dynamic between the two as Xie Wenxing tries to bridge the gap between them. He joins a mobile game team where he discovers that Xu Huai'an is his teammate under an alias, leading to a virtual partnership that further entangles them. While Xie Wenxing grapples with his identity and feelings, Xu Huai'an begins to lower his emotional walls, realizing that Xie Wenxing is the first person to approach him without a hidden agenda or system-imposed mission.

The story sets the stage for a romantic comedy where the mind-reading male lead and the internally screaming but externally calm love interest navigate high school life. As other mission holders continue their futile attempts to win Xu Huai'an's affection, the focus remains on the unique bond forming between Xie Wenxing and Xu Huai'an, driven by mutual curiosity and an undeniable, unspoken connection that defies the rules of their world.
