Jing Ming, a model young man, welcomed a new friend his own age, Fang Xinshao, when he was ten. But things did not develop as they normally would, and they did not become friends.
After listening to his parents nag about the guy every day, Jing Ming gradually developed a strong dislike for him. The resentment piled up over time until it became hatred.
Then, one day, while drunk, Jing Ming finally snapped and publicly subjected the person he hated to "every kind of humiliation."
Jing Ming: "I don't think this is something an apology can fix."
Fang Xinshao: "Hey, no... It's like this, let me explain..."
Jing Ming: "You don't have to explain. What would it take for you to forgive me?"
Fang Xinshao: "?"
Jing Ming: "If I take responsibility for you, would you be willing?"
Fang Xinshao: "!"
It was supposed to be nothing more than a little trap to teach him a lesson. Who knew it would bring such an unexpected bonus?
Fang Xinshao: I may have taken things too far, but it looks like I scored big.
Jing Ming: I may have been tricked, but it looks like I've gotten serious.
They circle around each other, testing the limits of their relationship.
Reading Guide:
① A gentle, doting, scheming top × a cold on the outside, warm on the inside, awkward bottom
② This is a slow-burn story that takes its time. If that's not your thing, please don't flame me; feel free to leave.
P.S. I've started a new story, an ancient-style danmei with a serious tone set in an alternate world, Bu Mei. Everyone is welcome to read it ( ˃̶̤́ ꒳ ˂̶̤̀ )
The main story is complete. I may write extra chapters separately when the mood strikes٩(๑^o^๑)۶
