Office-worker falls in love with his job *∥ Size difference *// A hormone-fueled puppy 🐶
Everyone says Li Min is lucky. He came from a poor family, yet just after entering the workforce, he happily latched onto a great catch and fell in love.
When he first met He Qiongzhi, Li Min thought he was just his landlord for the vacation apartment. He spent his days guarding the secrets of his bedroom, yet was considerate toward everyone in every aspect of life.
"Landlord, are you seeing anyone?"
They shared a spacious apartment in the city center. Li Min hustled to make a living, while secretly thinking, "He actually seems like a pretty decent guy."
"You want to take care of me?"
Once they started living together, Li Min wasn't particularly interested in He Qiongzhi's offer to support him, but after He Qiongzhi's tearful pleading and fussing, he happily accepted.
"I'm going to work. Cook dinner and wait for me at home."
True to his work-first principles, when Li Min got busy, he forgot there was anyone at home.
When he finally got home and opened the door, he saw someone standing there, fuming.
He Qiongzhi angrily held up a sign: I'm a useless husband you've abandoned, and you're responsible for me!

He Qiongzhi's friends teased him for having a savior complex, but his eye for people was always terrible.
When he first met Li Min, he caught a whiff of bad luck about him, and his soulmate radar immediately shut down.
"The landlord?"
"Hello."
It wasn't until Li Min became his roommate by chance that He Qiongzhi used his position as landlord to feed him well and take care of him.
"Drink soup, eat meat, eat your meals... I'll take care of you."
Li Min had spent the first half of his life going without. After moving in with He Qiongzhi, his body kept shutting down from time to time.
A little illness here today, a bit of pain there tomorrow. His whole body seemed to rattle, and you could feel his bones with just a touch.
Unable to stand watching him wear himself out working, He Qiongzhi clung to him shamelessly, whispering carefully by his ear: "I can take care of you, really..."
Li Min sighed, raised a hand to stroke his back, and soothed him. "Get up. I have to go to work."
"I don't support that!"
He Qiongzhi was shoved right up against the wall. Protest denied.

Little scene:
One day, He Qiongzhi put on an outfit he had designed himself, sealed himself inside a box, and planned to surprise Li Min.
But when Li Min got home and saw a huge box in the living room, he didn't give it a second thought and ignored it.
Since He Qiongzhi was only wearing socks and had no shoes on, he couldn't walk around on the floor. He waited so long he was almost suffocating, yet never heard a sound.
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. He was just about to pick up his phone and call Li Min when, the next second, someone lifted the box lid.
Li Min quietly watched him sitting inside, dressed up to the nines, then disdainfully closed the lid again.
"Li Min... you don't love me anymore."
And so, a giant, sobbing human figurine burst out of the box.
