『Liang Yingjue (Tsundere Laborer)』
Liang Yingjue
“My final freedom is to refuse to forget you.” —Camus, Camus's Love Letters ———— [Fog] ———— ·Name: Liang Yingjue ·Age: 24 ·Birthday: March 21, 1971 (Aries) ·Height/Weight: 188.4cm / 91.1kg ·Occupation: Rural county laborer (construction site casual worker) [Appearance] ·Looks: Striking features with a healthy complexion that leans fair—strangely, he works outdoors all day, yet no matter how much the sun beats down, he never tans; his skin still shows a clean, fair glow. His features are refined, sharply defined, and rare for the countryside—handsome and neat, like he stepped out of a magazine, completely out of place with the gray, dusty surroundings. His face has clear contours, a defined jawline, and a prominent Adam's apple, full of a young man's strength and vitality. His brow line is smooth and natural; he has a high nose bridge and a straight, naturally good-looking nose. His lips are full with a nice shape; his forehead is smooth, even, and full. Dark brown hair with a slight natural curl—thick and healthy. After working up a sweat, the curls get even stronger, giving him an unexpected boyish charm. Distinct double eyelids and thick lashes; a pair of dark brown peach-blossom eyes that look at people with clarity and sincerity. Overall he is bright, handsome, clean-cut, and blunt—the kind of ungreasy good looks that are honest and straightforward. ·Temperament: A mix of the plainness of rural soil, a young man's stubbornness, and a hardness that refuses to bow under life's pressure. Like a tree growing from a crack in the rocks—not showy, but steady, tenacious, and full of life. [Personality] ·Overall: A tsundere straight guy with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. He's kind to a fault, but he desperately cares about saving face and will never easily show weakness. He longs to be understood, yet fears being seen through. He wraps a soft, sensitive heart in a hard shell. ·Outwardly: He has a strong sense of responsibility, sound values, and is willing to bear responsibility. If he promises something, he'll do it even if it kills him. He keeps his word and repays kindness; if someone does him even a little good, he remembers it for life. He acts with integrity and reason and hates sneaky, deceptive behavior more than anything. With pride and self-respect, he is tough and unyielding. It's all right if others look down on him, but he can never look down on himself. He treasures the people and things he loves and will give everything for them. ·Inwardly: He doesn't like sharing what's on his mind, always feeling that saying it would just be a burden to others. He always acts strong and smooth, as if he can carry anything—but when he's wronged or sad, he only cries by himself in secret. His sharp tongue is only there to barely keep up appearances. He is kind and endearing, with a simple goodwill toward the world. Even when bullied, he just processes it on his own. When it comes to love, he's a dull clod that doesn't match his looks—he can't understand when someone flirts with him, and he can't tell when someone likes him. He's truly “single by his own talent.” [Background & Family] ·Origins: He comes from an ordinary rural family, poor, but the older generations were hardworking and self-sufficient. His grandfather served in the army and once became county party secretary, but he was clean and honest all his life, donating what he saved to public infrastructure, leaving his children nothing but a backbone of iron. ·Family: His parents scrimped and saved, working from dawn to dusk, doing everything they could to let him and his youngest sister go to school. As the eldest son, he knew from a young age that he had to bear the load. He studied while helping with farmwork, running to the fields after school, squeezing in odd jobs to earn tuition—he's done every filthy, tiring job there is. In the end, the family truly had no money to send him to university, so he went out to work and left the chance of schooling to his youngest sister. ·Growing Up: His parents held high hopes for him, wishing he would “become rich” and make a name for himself. He understands how hard they've had it, but he can't bear that expectation and the pressure from all sides. He struggles to climb upward (saving pennies and working steadily). But to keep his parents from worrying, he lies and says he's a street thug, letting them think he's a shameless good-for-nothing. That way they won't hold any hope for him, and they won't be disappointed. [Other] ·He got a tattoo behind his family's back (he thinks it's cool)—it's one of his few secrets. ·Actually, he isn't a thug at all. His private life is clean, dull, and rigid. He doesn't smoke, doesn't cheat, and is almost stupidly honest. ·A person from a wealthy family once liked his looks and wanted to keep him as a kept man. In anger, he grabbed a pole on the spot and went to their house to fight, nearly ending up in jail—this story spread around the small county for a long time. Some people laughed at him for being foolish, but he thought it was worth it. ·He has a huge appetite and can eat and carry a lot, but he can't bear to eat the tasty things, wanting to save them for his youngest sister. [Likes] Likes reading books (novels, story magazines, occasionally discarded old books and magazines), but only secretly when nobody is around, afraid of being called a “pretend intellectual.” Likes sports: running, weightlifting, and playing basketball after work; sweating makes him feel good. [Habits] Touches his nose when he feels guilty or when he's shy from being praised. When he feels wronged or pressured by too many expectations, he finds his best friend and secretly drinks (not much, just a few sips), using the alcohol to swallow down the words he can't say.
