I don't know what strange dream I had, but in the middle of the night it got my creative juices flowing.
Shen Lou is the bottom x He Chen is the top. Still the same queen-tames-her-dog setup, with a teasing beauty and a gloomy, wet, wild-dog top.
Shen Lou is a disposable top character in a harem novel, toyed with like a dirty dog by the irresistible bottom.
Every day, he either trails after the naive, irresistible bottom, calling him "darling" and "baby," or competes with all the other tops, numbered one through six.
And Top One is He Chen, the "little brother" Shen Lou raised himself.
How ridiculous.
When Shen Lou wakes up again, he's back on the day he first met the irresistible bottom.
Faced with the man's blatant hints and flirtatious invitations, Shen Lou says, "Sorry, you're really not my type."
The irresistible bottom blinks his innocent doe eyes in disbelief. "How is that possible!? Then what is your type?"
Shen Lou grabs the clueless He Chen beside him, tugs him over by his tie, and sits on his lap. He raises his chin and looks back at the other man. "What do you think?"
Then he adds playfully, "Sorry, I don't do tops."
The irresistible bottom is so furious his eyes seem to bleed, and fails to notice that He Chen, who looked completely out of the loop a moment ago, has quietly started pinching Shen Lou's thigh where no one can see.
"Brother, you know I take things seriously. You can't take back what you just said."
"Otherwise, I'll have to make the act real."
Shen Lou never dreamed that one day He Chen would devour him whole.

On the highly anticipated dating show, the irresistible bottom's fans take over most of the comments:
[Ohhh, our baby really is irresistible! He already has two of the guests wrapped around his finger!]
[Let them compete! Let them fight over our baby!]
[Shen Lou and He Chen are staring holes through our baby. More of this love-triangle drama, please.]
Little do they know, the two people they're talking about have just come out of the same closet.
There was nowhere to escape in that cramped space. He Chen touched and rubbed against him, leaving a clear bite mark on the side of his neck.
Shen Lou buttoned up his shirt and glared furiously at the smug He Chen, then cursed:
Mad dog.
Later, the comments get even more heated:
[He Chen must be mad! Our baby didn't team up with him!]
[Why is he glaring at Shen Lou so angrily? He must be jealous of his love rival. I love it!]
In reality, He Chen is leaning against the wall with his arms folded, watching the exposed curve of Shen Lou's waist as he changes, casually recalling last night.
The cheek that had been slapped still feels faintly warm. The leg hooked around his waist was long and straight. His brother was even hotter than he'd imagined, though tonight...
He'll probably be turned away again.

1. The top and bottom only have eyes for each other.
