Exothermic Reaction

[Hot-tempered, prickly young master on top × loyal, restrained bodyguard on the bottom]

When Yu Cheng was sold to the Lu family, the neglected young master, Lu Ming, had just lost the only person who cared about him: his grandmother. The young master took the boy, only a few months older than him, as his emotional anchor, sticking to him through everything, from meals to play.

He couldn't bear to let the older boy out of his sight for even a second. If he got hurt during training, Lu Ming would fret over him for ages. For a while, he thought Yu Cheng was his best friend, his only connection to the world.

That was until the young master discovered Yu Cheng's true identity. His genuine friend became his hired bodyguard.

The fragile young master fell apart all over again, feeling betrayed and unable to forgive him.

Their relationship plummeted. Verbal humiliation and punches and kicks became everyday occurrences.

From then on, the young master who had only dared to hide behind him became a firecracker, exploding at the slightest provocation. Training alongside his bodyguard made him stronger by the day, and whenever anything displeased him, he would flare up and cause trouble, often dragging Yu Cheng into it.

Only Lu Ming himself failed to realize that Yu Cheng was always the one who set him off.

His life changed that day...

A whole new world opened up right before Lu Ming's eyes. His roommate's gay porn broadened his horizons, and everything took on a different meaning...

Was it curiosity or a taste for the unusual? Was he deep in the closet or just being willful?

The straight young master fell before he even knew he was bent.

He frantically started looking for a boyfriend, while his clueless bodyguard followed along in confusion.

“No, no. This isn't right. None of it is right.”

The young master couldn't find anyone who felt right, no matter how much he looked. His roommate egged him on to go all the way.

Just as he was about to take things further in a hotel room, his bodyguard arrived, looking devastated.

“That's it! That's right! Everything's right!”

From then on, the greatest joy in Lu Ming's life was teasing Yu Cheng. That night, he got a solid slap across the face from Yu Cheng.

As for why... Yu Cheng didn't want to remember...
