Beautiful, witty, saintly sweetheart bottom x rigid, devoted teacher top

In reality:

Bottom with severe depression and anxiety x top with intense possessiveness and controlling tendencies

There are three schools along Lujin Avenue, with a complete progression from elementary school through high school.

At some point, a supermarket opened in the middle of the three schools.

The supermarket's owner is a very handsome man who makes a living on his own with his younger brother. He has smiling eyes and treats everyone kindly.

/Bottom's perspective

After leaving high school before graduation, Jing Li worked on assembly lines, hauled cement, ran street stalls, and fried little yellow croakers.

At last, at the age of twenty-two, he saved enough to open a small supermarket.

Years of working himself to the bone had damaged his health, and now he was plagued by illness. He could only give up and settle into retirement, figuring he'd live as long as he could.

But people who have known hardship can't bear to see others fall on hard times.

Jing Li took in the little boy who scavenged for trash in the alley.

Despite his frail health, he did his best to shelter the child from the elements.

He wanted to save up a little money for the boy's future.

From idol trading cards to deco stickers, journal supplies, and stamps, his shop kept growing.

With his striking looks, kind nature, and honest prices, the Lucky Supermarket eventually became a famous local photo spot!

Starting from the start with just one person and a run-down corner shop,

he somehow reaches an HE ending with love, career, and family all flourishing!

/Top's perspective

Xi Qianyi met someone like this.

He was gentle, kind, softhearted, generous, and resilient.

He was full of compassion, as if he couldn't bear to see anyone suffer, and could feel the pain of anyone who was struggling.

Every beautiful word in the world seemed to suit him.

Falling in love with him was as easy as breathing. Xi Qianyi was naturally drawn to him,

and soon became so immersed in their relationship he couldn't pull himself out.

But one day, he suddenly realized something wasn't right.

Why were whole cases of empty liquor bottles appearing in the supermarket's trash every morning?

Why was his boyfriend, who couldn't stand secondhand smoke, even more practiced than him afterward?

And most importantly, why did his boyfriend so often fail to respond to him?

What on earth was going on?

/Bonus scene

One day, Xi Qianyi swapped classes with another teacher at the last minute, hoping to go see a movie with Jing Li.

But strangely, his phone's location showed that his boyfriend was at a mahjong parlor.

He hurried over and pushed open the private room door.

His boyfriend, who usually spoke in a sweet, delicate voice, had a cigarette dangling from his left hand and was slamming a mahjong tile onto the table with his right as he shouted, "Damn! Heavenly Seven, self-draw, one bird, all in!"

Xi Qianyi nearly fainted on the spot. What kind of incantation was that?

Jing Li, whose secret identity had been revealed without warning: "Uh-oh."

/Bonus scene 2

"Do you know what happens when students get too close to their parents and homeroom teacher?"

Shi Jian: "Corrupting the class? An unforgivable crime?"

Xi Qianyi: "Is that what your previous teacher taught you?"

Shi Jian: "Not exactly."

Xi Qianyi had just let out half a sigh of relief when Shi Jian added calmly, "I learned it while watching a show with my brother. It's his favorite episode."

What should Teacher Xi do with two hopeless students at home? He says, "It's fine, don't worry. I'm here."

Content warning: The family storyline is a little angsty!

Both are each other's first and only partner. Both are each other's first and only partner. Both are each other's first and only partner.

Beautiful bottom and handsome top.

The bottom's health will improve.
