[Childhood Friends to Lovers/Older Man and Younger Brother/True Love Turns into Kept Lover]
-
Three weeks after Yu An was abandoned in a rental apartment by his debt-dodging parents, he became Shen Jinchuan's little shadow.
Shen Jinchuan called him a little troublemaker, but took in the homeless boy, got revenge on the kids who had bullied him, and gritted his teeth to buy him the most expensive, best glasses...
Yu An was also unhappy with Shen Jinchuan. He spoke harshly, resorted to corporal punishment at the drop of a hat, tried to control everything, from what Yu An wore and when he slept to his homework and even the friends he made...
But whenever someone tried to drive a wedge between them, Yu An would bristle: My brother may not be perfect, but it's not your place, an outsider, to criticize him!
This brother-obsessed little shadow clung to him for eight whole years.
They thought the two unfortunate boys would go on bickering quietly like this for the rest of their lives. Then, at eighteen, Yu An accidentally learned that his brother never had to work so hard for him.
One day, Shen Jinchuan woke up to find the person who had willingly thrown himself into his arms the night before, in a passionate embrace, had already disappeared.
All that remained was a muddy bedsheet and a note: I hate being controlled by you. I don't owe you anything anymore.
Eight years of history had been wiped clean, as if one night in bed could settle everything.

The heir of the Jin family wasn't surnamed Jin. He was surnamed Shen.
When they reunited three years later, their positions were worlds apart.
Shen Jinchuan pinned Yu An, still wearing his bartender uniform, onto the bed and said coldly, "Was I raising you all these years just so you could go out and do this?"
No matter how Yu An cried and begged, he showed no mercy as he humiliated and vented his anger on him.
Only after Yu An had been tormented into unconsciousness did Shen Jinchuan gather him into his arms. His expression, cold and hard all night, finally relaxed. "Didn't you say you didn't want me to control you? How did you end up like this?"
