[Secret crush + older woman and younger man + both devoted to each other + fighting over love + groveling for her back]
[Beautiful, rich older woman and her brooding, wicked younger man]
Song Xuchu's best friend, Guan Shishi, goes broke.
She calls to ask if Song Xuchu wants to stop keeping turtles and tortoises and keep her younger brother instead.
Song Xuchu answers while watching her boyfriend, a tortoise of a man, busy getting it on with someone on the sofa.
In a moment of impulse, she says yes.
Her best friend says her younger brother is sweet and knows how to treat a woman.
Song Xuchu believes the sales pitch, then comes back with a sore back to demand an explanation.
Song Xuchu: “Guan Shishi, you scammed me! Your brother doesn't know how to treat a woman. He just makes her sore!”
Guan Shishi, sounding like a guilty customer-service rep: “He's new at this. My suggestion is that you keep training him!”
Song Xuchu: “I'm new at this too!”
Guan Shishi: “...Then why not train each other?”
..
Her best friend says her brother is wonderful, spoils you until you have no worries, and is gentle and considerate in every way.
Keep him by your side: he'll warm your bed, act cute, and carry you upstairs to shower when you're tired.
Thinking of her impossible-to-control boyfriend, the tortoise who acts like a little devil,
Song Xuchu believes every word her best friend says.
But how come keeping this younger man doesn't cost her much time or money, yet takes such a toll on her back?
After they marry, Song Xuchu casually complains: “I thought you were supposed to be a gentle little puppy...”
Zhou Jingche clings to her and won't let the matter go.
“I'm not gentle?”
He bites her lips.
“Have you met anyone gentler than me lately, sis?”
He bites her lips until they're swollen.
“You're not saying anything. Does that mean you admit it?”
Song Xuchu: “...”
She's being framed! How is she supposed to answer with his mouth covering hers?
Bonus scene:
Song Xuchu says Guan Shishi set up her best friend.
Guan Shishi says it's like a surprise inside the package.
Song Xuchu asks where an only child got a younger brother.
Guan Shishi: “I picked him up by the side of the road.”
Song Xuchu gives her a mighty whack.
