Blurb:
Lu Li has run into some trouble lately.
Every ex he's ever broken up with has come back begging him to take them back, groveling and trying everything to win him over.
At first, Lu Li stayed rational and polite, smiling as he told them to get lost. Eventually, he got fed up. He'd open the door, take one look at whoever was there, and slam it shut in their face.
As cold as could be, as heartless as could be. That's how you should treat people who are no use to you.
They ended things amicably ages ago. Leave him alone.
Scene One: In the office [Powerful, brooding CEO forces his love]
“Just like before, I'll go along with anything you want to do.” His direct supervisor, the man who'd deliberately kept him here, looked at him with trembling eyes. It was hard to tell whether his words were a desperate plea to stay or an attempt to seduce him.
Lu Li didn't even blink as he turned to leave, tossing out a single line:
“Shameless.”
He was going straight to report someone for using their position to commit sexual harassment.
Scene Two: Outside his front door [Healthy, outgoing athlete begs for forgiveness]
After being harassed at work, Lu Li hadn't even made it inside when he spotted the young athlete he'd once dated crouching outside like a dog, waiting for him.
As soon as he saw Lu Li come back, he looked up at him pleadingly. The guy's drooping ears and tail that he was too scared to wag were practically visible. “Bro...”
At the sight of him, Lu Li almost laughed with anger. Was this guy trying to act out some scene where an abandoned dog follows its owner's scent home?
Lu Li opened the door and shut it again without a second thought. He didn't have time for this.
Scene Three: By the car [Proud, refined first love wants to get back together]
“Long time no see.” His so-called first love from high school suddenly appeared before him, an extraordinarily handsome face that would be wasted on anyone who wasn't a model, wearing an intensely uneasy expression.
Lu Li thought, Who are you? Who says it's been a long time? He couldn't even be bothered to speak, simply ignoring him and turning to leave.
But the other man grabbed him tightly and wouldn't let go, humbly begging him for a chance to talk things over.
Noticing how different this man was from seven years ago, Lu Li thought: It was exhausting looking up at him like this. Couldn't the guy get down on his knees to talk?
Scene Four: In the bedroom [Dark, disturbed, obsessive madman is losing it]
“I'm back. I missed you so much.”
The most deranged fake-white-moonlight called to tell him he'd returned to the country. Lu Li hung up and immediately disinfected his phone three times.
He'd thought the man was a gentle older guy, considerate and endlessly accommodating. In reality, he was a ticking time bomb: mentally unstable, extremely dependent on his lover, and constantly plagued by insecurity.
Just breaking up with him had already been the height of Lu Li's good manners.
He hadn't expected the guy to keep clinging to him like a ghost. Were obsessive, lovesick male ghosts still in fashion? How had he not heard about it?
So, could someone please make this lunatic, who never listened to a word anyone said, stay away from him?
Lu Li is exhausted, body and soul, from dealing with all these long-rotted love interests. The only one who can comfort him is his younger brother, who's still in college.
To outsiders, his brother is cold and unapproachable. In front of Lu Li, he's obedient and attentive, thinking only of how to take good care of the older brother he cherishes above all else.
Lu Li thinks that's how things should be. All the weirdos should disappear.
Wait, no...!
Gentle, aloof, and heartless top × bottom who only wants to get back together and won't stop pestering him
*1v1, happy ending.
Theme: What's lost cannot be recovered, yet love endures.
