[Big-Tailed Wolf Top x Flirty Peacock Bottom]
At gatherings of the young heirs in Beijing's social circles, there's an unspoken rule: Meng Lianchuan and Xie Suixin must never be at the same venue.
They're not just rivals. They've been sworn enemies since childhood.
As the eldest son of the Meng family, Meng Lianchuan had never hated anyone in his life. Xie Suixin was the one exception.
Back in school, Xie Suixin competed with him for first place.
When Meng Lianchuan started a company, Xie Suixin fought him for money, land, and clients.
Even the women Meng Lianchuan liked, Xie Suixin had to steal.
As the youngest person ever to take the reins of the Xie family, Xie Suixin had the most ruthless methods and the most detestable personality.
His face was famous for its beauty in their circles. His temper was just as famous for being atrocious.
He even changed into a different outfit every day for work: red shirts, deep V-necks, even shoes with red soles. He was like a peacock that spent every waking moment showing off.
At the height of their enmity, Xie Suixin hired people to break Meng Lianchuan's legs. Meng Lianchuan promptly beat Xie Suixin into the hospital.
But everything changed when the Xie family fell from grace.
His father went to prison, the company went bankrupt, and Xie Suixin was thrown out of the family home. The arrogant young master fell from his lofty perch, and everyone cheered. From then on, his name vanished from their circles.
Meng Lianchuan finally had some peace and quiet. He emerged as the last man standing and rose higher with every passing year.
Then one evening, as he drove past an alley, he caught sight of a familiar figure.
The former Young Master Xie was wearing faded polyester clothes, with no trace of his designer labels or luxury watches. He was fighting someone over a single crate of goods. The beautiful, dazzling peacock of the past had become a sparrow rolling in the mud.
With no sympathy whatsoever, Meng Lianchuan stopped to watch the show. But the moment he rolled down his window, their eyes met. The arrogant little peacock froze, and his eyes immediately reddened.
Tears welled in his eyes, but his lips were pressed tight. He looked both hateful and pitiful. "Meng, are you satisfied now?"
Meng Lianchuan: "..."
#What does this have to do with me?
Xie Suixin was famous for being beautiful in their circles. He was beautiful when he was arrogant, beautiful when his family fell from grace, and even more beautiful when he cried.
Meng Lianchuan looked at him for a long time before finally speaking.
"Get in."
With a strange feeling in his heart, Meng Lianchuan took the beautiful troublemaker home.
But on their first night back, his sworn enemy's nasty personality came right back out.
He was living under Meng Lianchuan's roof, yet he still found fault with everything.
"Meng, your pajamas aren't soft enough."
"Meng, your sheets aren't soft enough."
"Meng, your shampoo doesn't smell good enough."
Meng Lianchuan: "..."
#A dog really can't change its habit of eating shit.
He listened in silence, then knocked over the glass on the table with a cold laugh. "If you don't want to sleep here, get out of my house."
Crash! The glass shattered into pieces, and Xie Suixin fell silent. Instinctively, he shrank back under the covers.
Meng Lianchuan froze. Looking down, he saw the other man's legs trembling. A hint of a smile finally touched his lips.
It seemed he'd discovered a little secret about his sworn enemy...
[Notes]
1. One-on-one, top's perspective, happy ending, each other's first love (though neither of them will admit it).
2. The top appears respectable on the surface, but is actually cold-hearted and ruthless.
3. The bottom lives off others while acting proud. He's spoiled at first and even more unruly later.
4. Do not break up or reverse the CP. Not suitable for readers who are extremely possessive about their favorite character.
Theme: Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility.
