It Has Come to This, So Let's Fall in Love

A boisterous, fluffy dog-type top x a calm bottom who keeps his cool even when the sky falls

1.

Ten years ago, Meng Zexi pursued Ye Li. They fell in love at college and got married as soon as they graduated, loving each other with a passion that set the world on fire. But now they're both approaching thirty and at the peak of their careers, buried in work, and their old passion has faded.

Meng Zexi became the head of a corporate group, busy with business dinners and drinks;

Ye Li became a specially appointed math competition teacher at a school, juggling regular classes and competitions while teaching several classes at once.

The only way they express their love now is by coming home at eleven at night, sharing a kiss, and going to sleep.

They thought they could keep living their quiet, ordinary lives, until one day the world suddenly changed. Their coworkers at school, assistants at the corporation, and even random strangers all started betting on when the two of them would break up.

That's when they learned they were living inside a romance novel about two men, and that the story was currently in its prelude: it was supposed to make them despise each other, turn lovers into rivals, and eventually have them both fall at the female lead's feet.

Meng Zexi flew into a rage: Do you know how long I spent pursuing him back then?!

Ye Li: ...Thank you, but I'm not interested in that right now.

Under the novel's influence, the married couple of ten years were at their wits' end, living in a state of maximum alert every day.

Then the System appeared:

[Welcome to the True Love Defense System. The current emotional intimacy score of the two Hosts is 25 points (out of 100).]

[Current task: To resist the pull of the female lead's halo, the two of you must maintain frequent intimate contact. The higher your intimacy score, the less influence the female lead's halo will have on you. At 60 points, you can enter the safe zone. At 100 points, you can permanently destroy the original story's plotline.]

Ye Li fell silent for a moment, then calmly asked, "How do we raise our intimacy score?"

Before the System could answer, Meng Zexi had already taken off his shirt, revealing his toned upper body.

"Why are you wasting time talking? Let's find out. We'll just get the score all the way up ourselves."

Before Ye Li could respond, he was pushed down onto the bed.

Ye Li: ...

Well, all right then.

The bottom has a slight lack of interest in sex, having studied math and all, but he truly loves the top. The top is very capable, but doesn't want to pressure the bottom, so he's been very good at holding back.

At heart, this is a story about two mature, steady people rekindling their passion.

*Including a preview of a future story. Thanks for understanding.

The moment Shen Heting opened his eyes, he saw that his parents looked much older, and thought he had transmigrated.

It took two hard knocks on the head for him to realize he hadn't transmigrated.

He'd just been in a car accident, and his memories had suddenly gone back ten years.

Shen Heting took it in stride.

After all, on the first day of his hospital stay, someone had started fawning over him. The man was quiet and reserved, yet gentle and attentive. The days spent recovering in the hospital were painfully dull, but this man's care had made them a little sweet.

As his discharge date approached, Shen Heting realized he was starting to feel like he couldn't live without him.

There was only one problem.

The man said they were just friends.

Glancing over at the man secretly touching his hand, Shen Heting raised an eyebrow.

Friends?

Fine, friends it is.

If they really are just friends, he'll be the last one to get impatient.

The greatest obsession of Qin Zhengdao's life is Shen Heting.

He made his fortune from nothing in a remote corner of the northwest, while Shen Heting is the second son of Xinke Energy, a born favorite and an untouchable beauty. After they moved in together, Qin Zhengdao catered to his every need and treated him with the utmost care, only to receive a cool glance in return.

He thought the two of them had no chance anymore,

until Shen Heting lost his memory and Qin Zhengdao's eyes darkened.

Isn't this the perfect chance to win him over?

So he lied and said they were friends, then cautiously approached him all over again.

But gradually, he realized

that the amnesiac man was looking at him strangely.

Shen Heting had a little dog. He'd brought it home before it was even a month old and weaned, and spoiled it so much that every night it had to cuddle up with him before it would sleep in its own bed.

One night after his memories returned,

Shen Heting clapped his hands. "Who's the best-behaved little dog?"

"I am."

Qin Zhengdao shoved the little golden retriever aside and moved in himself.

Shen Heting's face darkened, and he kicked him straight off the bed.

Qin Zhengdao hurried back to kiss and touch him, showering him with every sweet word he could think of until the man finally calmed down. He'd meant to return the kiss, but Qin Zhengdao used the opportunity to lift his legs and pin him to the bed, kissing him hard.

"What are you trying to do...?"

Looking at Shen Heting, dazed and flustered, Qin Zhengdao smiled and said:

"Since you won't let me be your dog,"

"I'll just have to fulfill my duties as your boyfriend."
