The Beloved Senior Brother Is Far Too Easy to Fool

[Two male leads + martial world + pure love + shrewd, calculating con artist gong x naive, simple, doted-on shou + a little angst] Jiang Yuyan found himself a long-term meal ticket. He was gullible, rich, easy to fool, and ridiculously handsome, with a dimple that appeared when he smiled. Jiang made up an identity off the cuff, and the other man really did treat him like a junior fellow disciple. Jiang planned to run off once he had gotten what he wanted. But he fell for him, and was even willing to give his life to keep the other man safe. So he sneered and said the words he would regret most for the rest of his life: “Ye Yuhan, you’re so stupid it’s unbelievable. I lie to you a few times and you pour your heart out. I sweet-talk you twice and you’re ready to get into bed with me. Just how pathetic are you?” Something shattered in those clear eyes. The truth was, Ye Yuhan was painfully slow when it came to love. The first time Jiang Yuyan kissed him, he just stood there, stunned. Several moments passed before he belatedly blushed. Jiang’s heart nearly melted. He cupped Ye Yuhan’s face and kissed him again. “Next time, try reacting a little?” “…What kind of reaction?” “Hug me, or close your eyes.” Ye Yuhan thought it over seriously. “I’ll try.” But he was still half a beat too slow. Jiang’s lips had already met his before he remembered to close his eyes. The way he tried so hard to cooperate but was always a step behind was utterly heart-melting. Much later, lying in that man’s arms, covered in blood, he managed a smile. “Senior Brother, I don’t expect you to forgive me. But could you… not hold me so tight? It hurts…” Ye Yuhan didn’t loosen his grip. His voice was cold as he said, “Jiang Yuyan, if you ever lie to me again, I’ll lock you up on Qiyun Mountain and never let you go anywhere. I mean it.”
