A Kitchen Knife

Only when Jiang Zhong locked him up did Xu Tingfeng realize what the wolf cub he'd raised by his side really was.

He let Xu indulge his arrogant, overbearing temper, let him encroach on his territory more and more, gave him whatever he asked for, and accepted every demand he made of him.

Until now, when he pinned him to the bed and, just as he had on countless nights before, kissed him tenderly and held him captive, then pleaded with him:

"Don't leave."

Xu Tingfeng had a dream.

He dreamed he was the villainous male supporting character in a book, causing trouble at every turn,

only to be despised by everyone and die miserably in the street.

He woke in a cold sweat.

He sat up and thought it over for a long time, then realized that the scenes in the book were completely different from reality.

He hadn't bullied or humiliated the male lead as he had in the dream.

The only person he ordered around was the wolf cub he had personally taken in.

As he pondered, a pair of arms wrapped around him from behind and pulled him into an embrace.

The wolf cub gently bit his earlobe and asked in a low voice, "Why are you awake?"

The dream was fake.

Xu Tingfeng nestled in Jiang Zhong's arms and peacefully went back to sleep.

Then, the next day, his family really went bankrupt. Police sirens wailed, his parents ended up behind bars, and the young master really did become deeply in debt.

Xu Tingfeng: "…"

Before he could mourn his family's downfall, the wolf cub transformed into the true young master of Beijing's richest family.

Xu Tingfeng: "…"

When it rains, it pours. The small amount of money he still had left overseas ran into trouble.

He flew there overnight to deal with it, only to be tricked and nearly stranded abroad.

At last, he got his hands on his phone and prepared to call for help. The moment he connected to the internet, messages flooded in one after another:

[Baby, where are you? Could you please answer me?]

[Why aren't you home? Your teacher said you're dropping out. Why didn't you tell me?]

[Why is your location unavailable?]

[Are you trying to leave me?]

[You can't. You picked me up, so you have to take responsibility for me.]

[I can't sleep. I feel awful. Where are you?]

[You can't get away.]

[...]

[I've found you.]

Xu Tingfeng's heart jumped. He whipped around. Jiang Zhong emerged from the shadows, grabbed his wrist, and laughed softly.

"Baby, you can't get away."

Scheming, calculating younger top who rises to power and becomes a controlling maniac x bad-tempered, arrogant bottom who believes that whatever doesn't kill him only makes him stronger

Xu Tingfeng: Am I running? How about you let me finish what I was saying?

*Both of them have severe separation anxiety. If either one leaves, the other will fall apart.

*Both have extremely, extremely, extremely strong possessiveness. Jiang Zhong is possessive, and so is Xu Tingfeng, times a thousand.

Once upon a time, a kitchen knife wanted to chop vegetables, so it chopped vegetables.

Look! A Kitchen Knife!
