Younger top × gentle, restrained bottom
Coming-of-age romance / intense push and pull / sweet romance / monogamous, both pure
A rainy night.
The boy curls up on the steps like a cat that’s been abandoned for far too long.
Cheng Yuan’an takes him home only to honor a promise.
He never expects the well-behaved, sweet boy he brings home to grow up under his care a little crooked...
“How much longer do I have to wait?” The boy presses him at every turn.
Later, Cheng Yuan’an finally understands: the boy’s love was never about asking for something. It was about possession.
