The Young Master's Beloved Little Butler

(Updated at 12 noon. Thanks for your support.)

Sunny, cheerful, handsome butler X refined, scheming young master with a fatherly streak

Ye Lang is the son of the Luo family's butler. He was born to be a playmate who would grow up alongside the young master.

They are six months apart in age, and Ye Lang has lived with the Luo family since birth.

It is his destiny to take over from his father and look after the young master for the rest of his life.

At three, little Ye Lang held out his cotton candy to Luo Huaiyu. “Young Master, you can have the sweetest cotton candy.”

The adorable, stone-faced toddler Luo Huaiyu glanced at Ye Lang's sticky, chubby hand, then turned and went to his room, leaving the hopeful little boy shut outside.

At eight, schoolboy Ye Lang offered to carry Luo Huaiyu's backpack. “Young Master, I have two shoulders. I can carry both our backpacks.”

Luo Huaiyu only noticed that one of Ye Lang's front teeth was missing, then remembered that all his own teeth had already come in.

Without a word, he picked up Ye Lang's backpack. He was afraid that the teary little piglet might trip and knock out his one remaining front tooth.

At sixteen, high schooler Ye Lang snipped a bunch of sunflowers from the garden. “Young Master, I want to put these sunflowers on your balcony.”

Luo Huaiyu glanced at them and said coolly, “Ye Lang, I don't like sunflowers.”

Ye Lang plucked at the sunflower petals and complained to his father. “Dad, the young master won't let me look after him. Will I be out of a job someday?”

His father patted his head. “Then little Ye Lang can do what he likes instead.”

Ye Lang thought that the person he liked most was the young master, and what he wanted most was to stay by his side for the rest of his life.

Every memory Luo Huaiyu had was filled with someone else's presence. Ye Lang was his family, his playmate, and his rival.

He was willing to accept Ye Lang as anything else, but he didn't want a live-in butler born into the household. So he never took seriously Ye Lang's oft-repeated promise: “Young Master, I'll serve you for the rest of my life.”

After college, when Ye Lang told him he was going out to find a job, he didn't take that seriously either.

But after Ye Lang left home, everything started going off course.

Someone offered a high price to hire Ye Lang as their butler, saying he was wonderful at taking care of people.

Someone else came to Luo Huaiyu and said they wanted to marry Ye Lang.

Luo Huaiyu stopped Ye Lang as he came home late yet again. Staring at the sunflower in his hand, he demanded, “Who gave you that? Who have you been taking care of? Who do you want to marry?”

Ye Lang beamed. “Young Master, if you want it, I…”

Luo Huaiyu grabbed Ye Lang by the chin. “Ye Lang, weren't you going to serve me for the rest of your life?”

When Guo Xu was fifteen, his father brought home a seven-year-old and said the boy would be his little brother from now on.

His new little brother had rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and a head full of curls, like a doll.

Guo Xu blurted out, “This is a boy? I thought he was a girl.”

His new little brother was more spoiled than a little princess. When he first arrived, he was even afraid to sleep by himself.

Under pressure from his father, Guo Xu had to play with the new kid every day and even put him to bed at night.

He kept it up for eleven years. His new little brother became an old little brother, and the novelty wore off completely.

By the time he was twenty-six, Guo Xu had gone from being the village kids' ringleader to “Brother Xu.”

He got people from several nearby villages together to open shops and food stalls, devoting himself to figuring out how to make money.

He was so busy he barely had time to sit down, let alone look after his little brother.

Jin Moyang had just graduated from high school at eighteen. He received an acceptance letter from A University, the country's top school, but he wasn't nearly as happy as he had imagined.

He was already an adult, and even ten centimeters taller than Guo Xu, but Guo Xu still treated him like a delicate little lamb.

He wanted to help Guo Xu, but Guo Xu thought he was in the way. “Brother, I'm already an adult.”

Guo Xu habitually ruffled his curls. “Little lamb, just focus on your studies. Don't worry about things at home.”

*

Guo Xu had long thought of Jin Moyang as his own little brother, but Jin Moyang told him, “Brother, I love you. I mean the kind of love where I want to sleep with you, not the kind between brothers.”

“But I only think of you as my little brother.” Guo Xu had no idea when Jin Moyang had shot up until he was taller than him, just as he had no idea when Jin Moyang's feelings for him had changed into something else.

After that, Jin Moyang went around driving away Guo Xu's suitors like a madman, then kept turning up to confess to him over and over.

“Brother, I love you.”

“Brother, no one will ever care about you more than I do.”

Guo Xu looked at Jin Moyang's doll-like face, now grown to full size, and his taller, broader body. “At first, I really did only think of you as my little brother.”

Jin Moyang immediately wrapped his arms around Guo Xu and repeated stubbornly, “Brother, you love me. You just mistook romantic love for family love.”

“…” Guo Xu pushed away the young man's pretty face and said irritably, “Dad's sleeping in the next room. Do you dare say that to his face?”

Jin Moyang made as if to get out of bed. Guo Xu immediately wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him back. “Stop being crazy, little lamb.”

Jin Moyang pressed clingy kisses to Guo Xu's lips. “Brother, if you don't want me to do something, I won't do it. I'll only listen to you.”

Guo Xu was speechless. If I tell you to act like a proper little brother, you don't listen to that either, do you?

Scheming, devoted househusband, gorgeous ancient-world ger X carefree, streetwise neighborhood boss

Ye Zhaozhao is a ger. His birth father never loved him, his stepmother never cared for him, and his life has been miserable ever since he was a child. Now he's eighteen.

Recently, his stepmother decided to secure a bright future for her son by arranging for Ye Zhaozhao to become the second wife of a rich old landlord nearing fifty.

During an argument with his stepmother, Ye Zhaozhao hit his head. When he woke up, he found himself in a strange place.

Wu Yaoyang found a strange but incredibly beautiful young man outside his convenience store. The man wore ragged ancient-style clothes and had a red beauty mark between his brows. He looked like Guanyin herself had wandered down to the mortal world.

“Nice cosplay, but our convenience store isn't looking for a store reviewer. Walk a kilometer down the road and you'll find a whole night-market street. You'll get more traffic there.”

“…” Ye Zhaozhao couldn't understand a word, but instinctively felt that the man before him was a good person.

Watching the young man trail after him, Wu Yaoyang sighed. “Did someone steal your money? Or trick you into investing in something? Need me to collect a debt? My cut's pretty high. Can you afford it?”

Ye Zhaozhao looked confused, but obediently nodded.

*

Wu Yaoyang didn't know where Ye Zhaozhao had come from, and couldn't find his family.

Whenever he brought it up, Ye Zhaozhao looked at him pitifully. “Was there something I didn't do well enough?”

Wu Yaoyang couldn't find a single fault with Ye Zhaozhao. The floors were polished until they shone, delicious food was waiting whenever he came home, and even his clothes were washed for him. Even a magical snail maiden couldn't have done a better job.

At night, the young man would even sneak into his bed.

Wu Yaoyang was at his wit's end. “I'm not kicking you out. You don't have to do this.”

Ye Zhaozhao went stiff with embarrassment, but still stammered, “I don't have any experience, but I can learn. Or do you think I'm not good-looking enough?”

“Ye Zhaozhao, once you get into my bed, you won't get the chance to regret it.” Wu Yaoyang stared at the beauty mark between Ye Zhaozhao's brows, red as a drop of blood, and felt like he was well and truly trapped.

*

A few months later, Wu Yaoyang stared at Ye Zhaozhao's increasingly large belly, completely flustered. “You said it's normal for men to get pregnant?”

Ye Zhaozhao took his hand and placed it on his belly, tears welling in his eyes. “Don't you like our baby? Or don't you like me?”

Wu Yaoyang was wrapped around his finger all over again. He immediately apologized and soothed him. “How could I not like you? I like the baby, but I love you most of all.”
