Manager! Someone's Here to Steal Our Customers!

Zhou Shuxu and Shen Yian had two profound encounters in their lives.

When he was twenty, Zhou was his tutor for four years. When he was twenty-five, they spent a night together.

Zhou Shuxu thought

that they weren't really close.

Tutoring him had been a business arrangement.

That night had been consensual.

Zhou Shuxu had no connections or influential backers, and was afraid Shen Yian's family would come after him. He ran off that very night, clutching his backside.

-

Shen Yian was confident he had it in the bag, and had prepared to confess his feelings to Zhou Shuxu.

But on the day he planned to confess, Zhou blocked his number, and his texts went unanswered.

Zhou Shuxu disappeared.

A restaurant company auditor who seems mature and aloof but is actually childish and chatty, Zhou Shuxu x a store manager who seems like a slacker but is actually a straightforward puppy, Shen Yian
