I Still Want to Confess to My Daddy-Type Childhood Friend Today

[My next book is The Artist Who Draws Dream Boy Commissions Is Actually a Straight Junior. The blurb is at the end.]

1.

Le Zhi was raised from childhood by the older boy who lived next door.

For some reason, everyone praised him for being pretty, well-behaved, and lovable, while his parents were extremely cold toward him.

When he was little, he would cry in his older brother's arms, sobbing about his troubles. Lu Guannan, who was only a little older, would awkwardly wipe away his tears, his tender young voice firm: "It's enough that I love you."

As he grew up, he ran wild in his older brother's room and lorded it over him. Lu Guannan would simply clean up the mess and then coax him to sleep.

Le Zhi naturally assumed they were meant to be together.

So, on the night he came of age, he secretly climbed into Lu Guannan's bed.

Then he saw Lu Guannan's ugly expression as he pulled back the covers.

"...Get dressed."

2.

Le Zhi had always been very well-behaved.

So well-behaved that when he discovered he was the fake young master who had been switched at birth, he quietly left home on his own.

He didn't want to make things difficult for the parents who had found their real son, or for Lu Guannan, who had rejected him.

When Lu Guannan found him,

he saw the darling he had raised lying on a narrow bed with a hard wooden frame. The fan turned feebly overhead. Mosquito bites had reddened Le Zhi's delicate, fair skin, and he'd scratched it until it bled.

Cramped, dark, damp.

"Is this how you've been treating yourself since you left me?"

Lu Guannan's gaze was cold and inscrutable, and his scrutiny missed not a single inch of Le Zhi's skin.

"Baby, come home with me."

Le Zhi sat awkwardly on the creaking bed, head bowed, his whole body trembling slightly.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth. When he spoke again, his voice was choked with resentful tears.

"...You were the one who didn't want me first."

"You were the one who didn't want me!"

*

Lu Guannan had held himself back for more than a decade. He thought his restraint and self-control were for Le Zhi's sake, never realizing how badly he had hurt him.

Given another chance, Lu Guannan would no longer suppress his desire.

He would cherish Le Zhi for the rest of his life.

The Artist Who Draws Dream Boy Commissions Is Actually a Straight Junior: Blurb

Question: What do you do if your crush is a straight junior?

Answer: Cook up a meal for yourself with your own shovel!

Another question: What if the artist who draws your dream-boy commissions is also a straight junior?

Answer: Let the junior cook you up and eat you!

-

Office worker Xia Nong is a little online writer who specializes in adapting and sharing stories about his own unrequited crush. His bittersweet writing has made him fairly popular.

His junior is so obviously straight that whenever he sees Xia Nong, he looks away. He even finds looking at Xia Nong so unbearable that he can't stand it. Xia Nong can only cook up a meal for himself!

One day, he finally worked up the nerve to commission a dream-boy illustration from his "goddess" artist to indulge himself.

Pink Peach: Hi, artist! I'd like to commission a two-person dream-boy illustration. Here are my photo and a rough idea of the story I want~

Secret: ? You want to commission

Secret: The other person must be living the good life.

Xia Nong was confused. He felt like the goddess was gritting her teeth, but obediently sent over a photo of the straight junior he'd had a crush on for ages.

Secret: Oh, this handsome guy! You two look great together (=^▽^=)

Secret: I'll draw it carefully~

Maybe the goddess's blessing really did have magical powers. As the two of them chatted more and more, the commission grew increasingly suggestive, and even real life began to brighten up.

The junior who used to turn away the moment he caught sight of Xia Nong suddenly leaned against his shoulder at a party, tipsy and breathing into his ear.

Oh my god, exactly like the commission!

The junior, a germaphobe who hated being touched by others, suddenly pinned Xia Nong against the wall, his gaze gentle yet explicit, his movements domineering and handsome.

Exactly like the commission, too!

The day after they unexpectedly shared a room, ambiguous red marks appeared on Xia Nong's neck and collarbone.

Wait, even the marks are in exactly the same places as in the commission!

Hugging the dream-boy commission, Xia Nong kissed it over and over, then immediately praised the goddess to the skies on WeChat. It had to be her incredible drawing skills that moved heaven and finally got him together with his beloved junior!

Too excited to notice the other person's expression, Xia Nong was held in arms that were both lovesick and frighteningly obsessive. A muffled murmur slipped from his lips:

"I finally have you..."

But the truth could not stay hidden forever.

The day Xia Nong awkwardly resolved to lure his cool junior into bed, he accidentally opened a Pandora's box.

The dim room was full of pictures of him from every angle, stacks of printed pages covered in text, frenzied sketches, and...

On the computer screen was the dream-boy commission he had looked at again and again.

The commission only he and the "goddess" had seen.

[Reading Guide]

* 1v1, the leads are each other's one and only in every way

* Gentle and distant on the surface, but secretly an obsessive, deceptively innocent bottom x a calculating, deceptively innocent top who will do anything to seduce his future husband

* The top has secretly loved his future husband for years but only dared to look, never touch. Starved out of his mind, he resorts to anything, with low morals, a strong possessive streak, and a jealous streak. The bottom is very much into it. Every pot has its matching lid.

* A noticeable height difference: 178 cm and 192 cm. It's corny, but I love it.

* The top really is unhinged, not joking. Don't force yourself to read if you can't handle that.

Theme: Face yourself and keep moving forward independently, even in adversity.
