Gentle and restrained, but fiercely possessive older brother × Cheerful and outgoing younger brother who's secretly sensitive

“If you're my brother, why didn't you come looking for me when we were kids?”

Pei Anxia was a left-behind child.

One day, a new older brother appeared in his home.

The good news: He seemed to have fallen for this older brother he'd never met before.

The bad news: His parents had adopted this brother, supposedly to repay a debt of gratitude.

Pei Anxia: “Repay a debt? That's easy... I'll give myself to you!”

But what should he do if he's fallen for his own brother?

Later, his brother confessed first. Before Pei Anxia could answer, the other man had already fallen into despair.

Pei Anxia: “WTF??? When did I ever say I wasn't willing?!!!”

Eight years ago, Su Yucheng came to see him on a cold winter night. Naively, Pei Anxia asked, “Bro, I'll run away with you. What do you say?” Their hearts drew closer, and their love burned fiercely.

In a cramped, narrow alley, Pei Anxia said the words himself: “Bro, will you please leave?” But Su Yucheng practically begged him, “Don't abandon me.”

Pei Anxia thought that after they parted, Su Yucheng's feelings for him could never return to the way they had been. The man he'd pushed away with his own hands might never come back to see him again.

Eight years later, Pei Anxia had outgrown his boyishness when he ran into the other man again at a dinner party. Su Yucheng was impeccably dressed and spoke with cool indifference. Everyone could read the expression on their faces. It clearly said, “I don't know him.”

Then came that night when everything spiraled out of control. In the haze and confusion, Pei Anxia finally realized that he still loved Su Yucheng.

Pei Anxia: “Bro, when will you forgive me?”

Su Yucheng: “It was my fault.”

💌 A bittersweet, mutual secret crush brings two wandering hearts at last to the same harbor.

💌 One-on-one, no switching or breaking them up, both each other's first and only, happy ending. Dive in with confidence!

Upcoming novel blurb:

There are two things Yan Si hates most in life:

First, being mistaken for a girl.

Second, people inexplicably forcing their way into his life.

Shen Zhuo does both.

The first time they met, Shen Zhuo mistook him for a girl and leaned in to check his Adam's apple, so Yan Si threw him to the ground. The second time, Shen Zhuo cornered him in an alley. Yan Si ran and hid in a recess, only to end up making Shen Zhuo hard. The third time, Shen Zhuo came straight to his school, sat smoking beneath his dorm, and said sadly, “I've been looking for you all day.”

Yan Si asked him from the bottom of his heart, “What do you even want from me?”

Shen Zhuo replied unhurriedly, “Can't you tell? I'm pursuing you.”

Later, Yan Si realized that everything in the world has a reason behind it, and that the real philosophers are his classmates! Shen Zhuo isn't crazy, but he really is gay!

No wonder he helped Yan Si deal with Chen Wenchu, bought him hair ties, took him skateboarding by the river, and showed up at his school in the rain to coax him, saying, “Stop being mad.”

So this whole time, he was trying to get with me!!!

Yan Si sighed. “Get lost.”

Shen Zhuo: “Sure. I'll come back tomorrow.”

That's what he said, but when Shen Zhuo crouched to fasten his knee pads, Yan Si didn't seem to avoid him.

Shen Zhuo took him singing, dressed as a girl for his sake, and traveled a thousand miles to find him. Somehow... Yan Si was starting to like having him around.

Shen Zhuo (smiling): “You've been playing hard to get this whole time, haven't you?”

Yan Si: “...Hard to get your ass!”

Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted long-haired guy × Handsome, roguish, straightforward rich kid
