Don't You Dare Run!

Gentle, gloomy seme vs. A rich beauty uke who acts tough but is a coward inside and only wants to marry her husband

Xu Zhishu started supporting his family at a very young age.

He and his younger brother, Xu Zhiqi, relied on each other, with Xu Zhishu working at a cafe to put his brother through school. Then one day, he met Su Zhi, a young master who had run away from home after fighting with his family.

After paying for his coffee, Su Zhi decisively snapped his black card in half and tossed it away like trash. That evening, Xu Zhishu saw the homeless teenager crouching on a street corner and took pity on him, offering him a place to stay.

He never expected the young master to refuse to leave. Seeing how determined Su Zhi was to stay, Xu Zhishu agreed. Later, the two secretly started dating behind his brother's back.

And so Xu Zhishu began the daily routine of supporting two people.

For some reason, his younger brother and Su Zhi never got along.

Whenever Xu Zhishu came home, only bringing back two identical servings of fried noodles could temporarily keep things fair.

Life really isn't easy.

Xu Zhishu sighed.

His shy, reserved younger brother would turn beet red whenever they argued,

while the young master, a rich beauty who was willing to live in a tiny rental apartment, would usually throw himself into Xu Zhishu's arms and say

"Hubby, he's bullying me."

Xu Zhishu could only say helplessly, "...Come on, both of you. Come eat your noodles."

Watching the two of them crouch by the coffee table, their heads bowed as they wolfed down their food, Xu Zhishu sighed silently.

At last, some peace and quiet.

But peaceful lives always have their share of complications

The rich beauty's father showed up.

When Su Zhi's father learned his son would rather live in a rental than come home, he was so furious he slapped the table, sarcastically accusing Xu Zhishu of trying to marry into a wealthy family.

Sitting at the other end of the table, Xu Zhishu thought for a moment, then nodded gently:

"Uncle, I'll break up with him."

But the young master wasn't having it.

Su Zhi's eyes filled with tears. "Xu Zhishu, how can you be so cruel? You actually want to break up with me."

"Take that back now, and I'll pretend you never said it."

Xu Zhishu replied quietly, "I'm sorry."

When they met again seven years later, his young boyfriend had taken over the family business and become a CEO, while Xu Zhishu was delivering food.

The moment Su Zhi saw him, he snatched the delivery from his hands and sneered, "How did you end up like this, Xu. Zhi. Shu..."

Xu Zhishu looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

His young boyfriend quietly perked up his ears...

At last, Xu Zhishu spoke. "Um... could you leave me a good review?"

"Or at least not leave a bad one?"

The second time they met, Xu Zhishu had learned his lesson and wanted to get away from Su Zhi as quickly as possible. But the haughty young master grabbed him and stared at him fiercely.

"Xu Zhishu, don't you dare run!"

Seeing the young master's reddened eyes, Xu Zhishu sighed softly and wiped away the tear at the corner of Su Zhi's eye.

"I won't run. But could you stop crying, A Zhi?"

Su Zhi answered with a fierce, tearful kiss, clinging tightly to him as he sobbed and refusing to let go no matter what.

#Hello, do you still want the wife you raised?#

#It's okay if you don't. He'll come looking for you anyway.#

#Of course you can't get rid of him. He's already clinging to you, isn't he?#
