[Male-male romance, mutual firsts, bottom's POV | Gentle, capable, older yandere beauty top x tsundere, affection-starved, says one thing but means another beauty bottom]
Song Jingque was so sick of being pressured to marry that his scalp went numb. His older brother waved a hand and arranged a match with the Huo family's third son. A Cambridge graduate, the perfect candidate for a marriage alliance.
Song Jingque: I'm only eighteen! I'm not going!
A friend offered advice: "If you don't want a blind date, just find someone to act as a shield. Lin Lan Yin seems pretty good to me."
He said, "As if finding someone like that were easy," but secretly filed the name away.
Who knew that the next day, a message from his brother would pop up: [Huo Han has something urgent to deal with. You're meeting Lin Lan Yin instead.]
Song Jingque was stunned. Was the world ridiculously small, or what?
At the Peninsula Hotel, before he could figure out how to turn the match down, Lin Lan Yin smiled first.
"You need a shield, and I need a cover. What do you say?"
As if possessed, Song Jingque held out his hand. Deal.
From then on, breakfast appeared at his door right on time, and the peach oolong tea was always made just the way he liked it. On rainy days, the umbrella always tilted toward him. The other man would get a wet shoulder and simply smile, saying, "It's nothing."
Su Niannian watched in disbelief. "You're taking this shield thing way too seriously, aren't you?"
Song Jingque stubbornly denied it. "He's just being nice."
But the way the other man looked at him felt too real. So real that Song Jingque's heart skipped a beat as he wondered: Could he be in love with me?
Until an unexpected car accident.
Outside the hospital room, someone asked, "Have you really fallen for Song Jingque?"
After a long silence, that familiar voice replied, its warmth gone: "It was just a mission."
Lying in his hospital bed, Song Jingque slowly blinked.
A mission... Oh.
So all along, he was the one being played.
