Beware the Beautiful, Brooding, Brother-Obsessed Girl at the American School!

(Also on my upcoming list: Has the Editor-in-Chief Forgiven Me Today? A sharp-tongued, scheming Daddy editor-in-chief × a sunny, universally adored intern)

[Well-mannered, controlling nerdy younger brother × beautiful older brother, sharp on the outside and soft within]

Jieyou found himself a perfect boyfriend in America.

Spencer was his physical therapist, six foot two with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, black hair and green eyes. He was young, yet gentle and dependable.

He would drive three hundred kilometers to New Jersey just to buy Jieyou saltwater taffy.

When Jieyou lost a competition, he would give him a firm hug and softly tell him, "You did great."

When sponsors questioned Jieyou, Spencer would shield the man forcing a smile and say coldly, "Enough."

The only catch was that Spencer always wore a black mask, claiming he had an injury on his face.

But when Jieyou kissed him blindfolded, he had touched Spencer's face. It was smooth and clean, without a single scar.

The more Jieyou thought about it, the more things seemed wrong.

Spencer knew all his habits, even the ones he'd only had as a child.

Spencer knew about all Jieyou's past aches and injuries even before giving him his first treatment.

There was only one person who knew all those things: his American, wealthy younger stepbrother, Harland.

Spencer said he and Harland were "sort of friends," but refused to attend any gathering Harland was at.

There had to be some secret between them.

Looking at the resemblance between Spencer's and his brother's eyes, Jieyou wondered: Could Spencer be his stepfather's illegitimate son? Was there some family power struggle between them?

Until the disguise was completely removed.

Jieyou stepped back in disbelief, his wide hazel eyes full of shock and anger.

Spencer smiled, removed his colored contacts and wig, and revealed his striking blond-haired, blue-eyed face, built like a top-tier model. He was none other than his younger brother, Harland.

"Are you insane...?" Jieyou's voice trembled. "I'm your brother! I raised you from when you were four until you were fifteen, and this is how you repay me?!"

Harland moved closer and spoke gently in Spencer's voice. "We've slept together so many times. You liked it, big brother."

Jieyou panicked. He realized he had already known the answer deep down.

Extra scene:

Jieyou was buried in the soft pillows, nearly wrecked by Harland.

Panting, Harland whispered in his ear, coaxing him, "Big brother, baby, give me one more time, okay?"

Jieyou didn't answer. He just quietly closed his eyes as a tear rolled down the bridge of his nose.

It was all his fault. He hadn't raised his once obedient, sensible little brother properly.

Tips:

1. The story begins with the brothers reuniting and Jieyou meeting Spencer. The Spencer and Harland storylines run in parallel. It's a sweet romance with a realistic bent, and the older brother has a clear character-growth arc.

2. The older brother is four years older than the younger brother. They lived together for eleven years, were apart for six, and then reunited. Their parents, Jieyou's mother and Harland's father, formed a new family and later divorced. The brothers are not related by blood. The younger brother is a top-tier white guy.

3. The younger brother has a "girlfriend" in the story, but she's actually his female best friend. She knows everything and has her own thoughts, so there are no female characters serving as mere props. The brothers have endured many hardships, and the older brother's only wish for his younger brother is: "To have a happy home."

Here's another upcoming story:

[Sharp-tongued, scheming Daddy top × sunny, universally adored bottom]

A year ago, under pressure from his father, Lan Xia had no choice but to break up with his ex-boyfriend, who was nine years older, handsome, wealthy, and had an incredible physique.

The first thing Lan Xia did after going to America to study was cut off contact with his father and decide:

He was going to win back his ex, Anthony White.

So Lan Xia threw himself into Anthony's company and became his intern.

He held out his hand and smiled openly. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. White."

Anthony didn't shake his hand. He stared at him intently and asked in his usual offhand tone, "What the hell are you doing here?"

*

Anthony was thirty and already the US editor-in-chief of a leading magazine.

He had saved a magazine on the brink of closure and turned it into an industry textbook. Any item he said would be a hit went on to dominate the fashion pages. Celebrities seeking a cover or access to couture had to get his approval.

He was exacting, sharp-tongued, and held life-or-death power in his hands. People in the industry both respected and feared him.

With Lan Xia, all he had left was resentment.

He wouldn't dwell on the past or make exceptions. He'd work him to the bone.

Lan Xia didn't put up with it either.

After finishing his work beautifully, he'd lounge in the office with his legs crossed, reading a magazine.

When Anthony came in, he greeted him casually. "Hey, Anthony."

The office fell silent in an instant.

Anthony stopped, took the book from his hands, and said, "Call me Mr. White."

*

Anthony was about to be driven crazy.

When he moved closer, Lan Xia dodged. When he acted cold, Lan Xia clung to him. Whenever he tried to act like he didn't care, Lan Xia saw right through him.

Lan Xia wasn't here to reform the workplace. He was here to reform Anthony.

He was nine years older than Lan Xia. How could he fail to see what the young man was thinking?

The defenses he'd built were impenetrable, but they crumbled completely after Lan Xia kissed him on the cheek while drunk.

He grabbed the man as he tried to back away and asked in a low voice, "Are those the only tricks you have for pursuing someone? Can't you be a little more determined and persistent?"

Lan Xia's eyes reddened. He grabbed Anthony by the collar and kissed him outright.

Tips:

1. A sweet little romance, both are virgins.

2. The top misunderstands the bottom at first, but they'll clear things up later.

3. The top is very mean and sharp-tongued. The bottom is sunny and adorable, with a mind of his own.
