[Fake substitute + love grows over time + identity reveal + mutual healing]
Jiang Zhiyan noticed that his new boss, Chi Cheng, looked at him strangely.
Not only did he keep lingering by Jiang Zhiyan’s desk, he also asked about his family background, allergies, and even his childhood.
Thinking of the news about missing adults that his younger sister had sent him, Jiang Zhiyan silently labeled Chi Cheng a human trafficker.
When he discovered Chi Cheng had secretly hidden the toothbrush he had used, Jiang Zhiyan was like: ?
Rumors spread around the company that Chi Cheng was treating Jiang Zhiyan as a substitute lover. Jiang Zhiyan was furious and submitted his resignation.
When Chi Cheng received Jiang Zhiyan’s resignation request from HR, he slammed the table in a rage. “Who bullied him?” he demanded, only to discover that the culprit was himself.
At first, Chi Cheng only wanted to find out who the intern was, since he looked so much like Chi Cheng’s mother.
He watched from the sidelines and tested him again and again, gradually losing control
When he learned that Jiang Zhiyan couldn’t live in the dorm because he was sensitive to noise and had to ride an electric scooter for an hour to work every day, he had the house near the office fitted with the best soundproofing and invited him to move in.
When he discovered that Jiang Zhiyan was allergic to nuts, he became even more careful than Jiang Zhiyan about what he ate.
And so, watching Jiang Zhiyan in secret every day, Chi Cheng fell for him.
Chi Cheng’s identity was exposed after Jiang Zhiyan confessed his feelings.
Later, when Jiang Zhiyan dutifully called him “big brother,” Chi Cheng panicked.
“I really did investigate you, but I really do like you, too.”
“Can I still be your boyfriend now?”
Jiang Zhiyan typed two words on his phone: “Guess.”
The setting is semi-fictional. Everything serves the story.
