[I didn't write this because I have great taste or impeccable values. I wrote it because I'm a pervert, a pervert, a pervert. Important things bear repeating!!!]
[Content warnings: older man/younger man, adoptive father and son, pseudo-incest, a fourteen-year age gap, and an underage character with an unrequited crush]
[Since I'm a pervert, there are inevitably some perverted sex scenes. If chapters get locked or censored, please search for the author's Weibo.]
[If you can't accept that, don't read this one. Maybe we'll meet again in the next book. Please don't hunt me down just to yell at me o(╥﹏╥)o]
The blurb is the pursuer's monologue to the one he loves:
Even though I didn't give birth to you, I want to leave my mark on you. I want you to become my son. I want all of you, and your whole life, to belong to me.
I know you love me. After all, confusing admiration with love in a moment of youthful impulsiveness is a privilege of the young.
But have you thought it through?
Do you really love me?
Do you love me for who I am, or because I've been the one taking care of you all these years?
I just happened to show up and raise you. What difference would it make if someone else had done it? You'd have fallen in love with them just the same, wouldn't you?
[...No, I wouldn't.]
Ha. Hahaha. Still being stubborn. That's really not a good quality.
Why are you so stubborn now?
Did I raise you to be this way? Teach you to be so naive?
Like a fledgling that's never flown on its own, always sheltered and cared for. You love me and won't turn back until you hit a wall. Even after you hit one, you still won't turn back. Is that it?
...Why are you crying?
If you want me to lie to you, then...
I love you.
[Whether the ending is HE or BE will depend on reader feedback. If more people want HE, it'll be HE. If more people want BE, it'll be BE. I could also write both routes in the extras.]
[If it's HE, the monologue above is just the pursuer stubbornly refusing to admit his feelings. If it's BE, then those are his true feelings.]
[The ending is 1v1, and both leads are each other's first and only. I'm devoted to the one who receives love, with just a tiny bit of a doting-fan tendency, which you can basically ignore.]
[Please be reasonable and don't bring this into real life. Thank you, dear readers.]
