How a Straight-Up Player Snared a Handsome American College Guy

[Beautiful Straight-Laced Man with a Soft Exterior and Sharp Edge x Possessive, Scheming Puppy-Like College Guy]

First, a little plug for my upcoming novel, "My Little Bro? A Restricted-Content Overpowered Hero?" The blurb is at the very bottom ↓

Blurb: The day Ruan Weimian became a teaching assistant, his family went bankrupt. His uncle told him to quit school immediately, come home, and work to pay off the debts.

Ruan Weimian was broke, scraping together tuition abroad through hard work and study. His family hadn't shared in any good fortune, but now they had to share the hardship.

A friend introduced him to an old-money tycoon, who was looking for a son-in-law for his frail, sickly daughter.

"A financial titan from an established noble family. He has four requirements for his son-in-law: handsome, gentle, kind, and talented. Keep the marriage going for three years, and you'll make a fortune."

Ruan Weimian happened to meet every requirement.

At the interview, he put on a white shirt, laid out his work, and gave a flawless, impeccable smile.

The other party was delighted. Ruan Weimian signed the agreement and took the money.

After taking care of everything, Ruan Weimian returned to the estate in New York to fulfill his engagement, only to find no delicate young woman waiting for him.

There was just a college-aged young man with blond hair and green eyes, a cold, sharp gaze, and a watch reflecting the icy blue light of a glacier. He was strikingly handsome, and somehow familiar.

The butler hurried over to chase Ruan Weimian away. "Didn't you get the message? This estate has changed hands. You shouldn't be here."

"Where's Mr. Thompson? I'm his daughter's fiance." Ruan Weimian gripped the engagement agreement.

The man stood up, and as his shadow fell over Ruan Weimian, he got a clear look at his face.

He was far too young, with sharply defined mixed-race features and gray-green eyes like a frost-covered forest.

"He doesn't have a daughter," he said calmly, as if discussing the weather.

"That's a joke, right? The marriage contract clearly says Lucas William. So who are you?"

The butler hurried to explain. "This is Thompson's nephew, the esteemed Mr. Lucas."

William, the surname that appeared in both the financial pages and the noble registry.

Lucas William, the young college student who inherited a vast fortune at just twenty.

Ruan Weimian smiled. "Then what about the money? My money!"

"My uncle entered a monastery. All the pocket money under his name now belongs to me."

What the hell did he mean, pocket money?

Warm breath brushed Ruan Weimian's ear. He took a deep breath, then stepped closer.

"Hi, hubby. Nice to meet you. I'm the fiance your uncle arranged for you. My name is Ruan Weimian. It's fine if you don't acknowledge me, but you still have to pay me. What the elders arranged is what matters most."

"I know," the young man replied, deep currents stirring in his eyes.

*

Every night he spent with Ruan Weimian, Lucas was endlessly grateful for the day Qien had shaken him awake.

When Saint Lando Noble Academy opened for the new term, Qien excitedly told Lucas,

"Lucas, have you seen the new teaching assistant? He's from the East, and damn, he's gorgeous."

At first, Lucas replied, "He really is beautiful."

Later, he replied, "I know."

Because no one knew better than him how sweet his darling was.

Little Scene One: Later, at a charity gala, someone saw Ruan Weimian tiptoe to tug on Lucas's tie, furiously scolding him about something.

The young head of the family, renowned for his coldness, lowered his head and licked the cream from the corner of Ruan Weimian's lips, then kissed him with his tie crooked from being tugged.

The whole room fell silent.

Cool, beautiful man x possessive, devoted puppy-like college guy

Shen Youtang ran away.

He realized he'd transmigrated into a restricted-content power fantasy novel and become a disposable character who wouldn't survive three chapters. He quit on the spot, fled to a small town in the middle of the night, and swore to stay as far away from trouble as possible.

He found a little brother in an alley. The kid was covered in injuries, with bright, dark eyes, and Shen Youtang's heart softened for a second.

"Come with me?" He could afford to raise a kid.

But as he raised him, things started to feel off.

He sent the boy to school, and the next day the kid got into the best high school in the provincial capital, skipping grades and bringing home a gold medal from an academic competition.

Shen Youtang: Didn't you say you'd never gone to school?

He complained that rent was too expensive. The boy casually wrote a program and sold it for six figures.

Shen Youtang: Didn't you say you'd never used a computer?

He said he didn't want to work and that the lousy company would go under sooner or later. The boy went quiet for a week, then showed him a stock trading account with seven figures in it.

Shen Youtang: Where did you get all that money?

The boy poked his head out of the kitchen, his voice unbearably sweet. "My big brother gave me pocket money. I just made it grow."

Huh? How do you make pocket money grow?

Shen Youtang looked at the boy in the kitchen, wearing an apron and serving him porridge, beautiful and exquisite, so obedient it was hard to believe.

Did I pick up a genius?

*

One day, Shen Youtang looked in the mirror and found his lips swollen and his cheeks flushed. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed insatiable.

The kid he'd raised for years had grown up. It was time to find someone to keep him company in retirement.

He took his blind date to the fanciest restaurant he could find.

The music stopped abruptly, and the place fell silent. Everyone was ushered out. Apparently, the restaurant had been bought on the spot.

His little brother, who was studying at university in Kyoto, walked past the crowd and straight to his booth.

The wineglass nearly slipped from Shen Youtang's hand.

Shen Youtang: What are you doing here?

The young man's gaze was dark and menacing. He braced one hand on the back of Shen Youtang's chair and leaned close to his ear.

"Big brother, isn't having me enough? Why can't you just behave?"

His voice was still as sweet as ever, but his eyes were those of a wolf stalking its prey.

*

Oh my god, his little brother was the very overpowered hero who dominated both the underworld and the legitimate world, and had single-handedly turned half the capital upside down!

Shen Tang covered his backside and packed his suitcase in the middle of the night.

Damn it, there was no way he could keep living like this.

The moment the elevator doors opened, a hand firmly held them apart.

The man leaned against the wall in a tailored suit, his features sharp and imposing. He still had that beautiful, gentle face, but the oppressive air around him sent a chill down Shen Youtang's spine.

"Why are you running?" He lowered his head and smiled, his thumb leisurely brushing the corner of Shen Youtang's mouth. "I told you, once you picked me up, you weren't allowed to throw me away."

He tilted his head and kissed him, tender and fierce. He kissed Shen Youtang until he couldn't catch his breath and his legs went weak, then rested his forehead against his and chuckled.

"Run away once, and I'll lock you up for a day. How long do you want to be locked up, big brother?"

[Little Scene]

Only later did Shen Youtang learn that outside, the man was an overpowered hero, but behind closed doors, he was a rabid dog.

He liked to hold Shen Youtang by the waist and pin him against the floor-to-ceiling window, kissing him until he lost his senses, until the glass fogged over and the city lights below blurred into glowing specks.

"You're trembling so much, big brother." The man behind him pressed close, his voice low and slow, tinged with amusement. "Afraid of heights? Or afraid of me?"

Shen Youtang bit his lip and said nothing, tears dripping from his chin.

You little bastard, I raised you myself!

The man turned him around and pressed him against the glass, his hand clamping around Shen Youtang's jaw and forcing him to look up.

"Why are you crying?" His thumb rubbed across Shen Youtang's lower lip, then slipped inside to press down on his tongue. His gaze was dark as an abyss. "How could I ever bear to hurt you?"

He leaned in, his breath spilling between Shen Tang's lips. He lowered his head and bit his Adam's apple, gentle and rough by turns, speaking one word at a time.

"I just want you to know, big brother, that I've never been a good person. So you're only allowed to have me!"

Xiao Lang was forced to join a couples reality show. The penalty for breaking his contract was eight figures, so he had no choice.

He wasn't afraid of the track or the cameras. He was only afraid of Shen Suichuan.

They were childhood friends known to everyone, inseparable at university, and the whole internet had shipped them to death.

No one knew they'd secretly dated for five years, then had a dramatic breakup two years ago. Since then, they'd avoided each other completely.

Now Shen Suichuan was still at the top of his game, both a top-tier star and a powerful figure behind the scenes. He looked warm and harmless, and simply standing there with that gentle smile was enough to unsettle Xiao Lang.

In the show's preview, the host asked about their relationship.

Xiao Lang played with his car keys and raised his eyes. "We're not close."

Shen Suichuan smiled gently. "Whatever he says goes."

That night, #TheTwoKingsAreAtOdds# exploded across the trending lists.

The whole internet was certain the two would never speak again.

But three months later, in a dim equipment room, Shen Suichuan held Xiao Lang close and kissed him fiercely and urgently, as if trying to swallow all the restraint he'd shown over the years.

I really did let you go wild, but I never said we were breaking up.

Little Scene:

At an off-road racing circuit, Shen Suichuan cornered Xiao Lang in the locker room.

Xiao Lang drove a knee into Shen Suichuan's lower abdomen and grinned, wild and defiant. "Get off me."

Shen Suichuan groaned but didn't move. Instead, he caught Xiao Lang by the ankle and pulled it to his waist, chuckling. "I can get off, but first, let me kiss you."

Xiao Lang gritted his teeth. "Shen Suichuan!"

The man bent down and kissed the corner of his mouth. "I'm here. I've always been here."
