Who Taught You to Pretend to Be My Dad?

1.

Jiang Chenglan found himself an older, fatherly boyfriend online and fell in love with him so fiercely that there was no turning back.

After a few months together, he hoped they could take things further, so he nervously sent a photo of himself at the gym.

The other guy didn't reply. He cautiously asked: [Baby, do you like it?]

[Message sent, but rejected by the recipient.]

He'd been blocked.

2.

Furious, Jiang Chenglan found his online boyfriend's address and decided to go there and demand an explanation.

After he sent a warning text, the other guy finally unlocked the door and peered out, half his face showing as he watched Jiang Chenglan nervously.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to toy with your feelings..."

Jiang Chenglan looked at the guy's face, which was even younger than his junior at school, and fell silent for a moment.

"Why are you pretending to be my dad?"

3.

Chen Heng was thirty-four this year. At his friends' urging, he embarked on his first online romance.

The sweetness of love left him lightheaded. He had thought about taking things further, until he saw the photo the other guy sent him.

It was his boss's son!

Chen Heng was scared out of his wits. He deleted and blocked the guy in one fell swoop, then lay alone in bed, swallowing the bitterness of heartbreak.

He never expected the guy himself to come knocking.

"So why did you block me, huh? Am I ugly?"

Jiang Chenglan held Chen Heng down and demanded a reason.

Chen Heng was on the verge of tears. "You're too big... We're, we're too different. I'm scared."

"You're still so young, and I'm old. I can't handle it."

He was just a useless old man. What could Jiang Chenglan possibly want with him?

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Jiang Chenglan's grip tighten.

"Ha," Jiang Chenglan laughed. "Listen to you, always saying such tempting things."

He couldn't wait to raise Chen Heng into adulthood.

Guide:

1. Chen Heng is the receiver; Jiang Chenglan is the giver. Eight-year age gap, 1v1, both virgins.

2. Younger, but fatherly x older, but only in age is he fatherly.

I've been wanting to write a 1v1. I'll leave this here and come back to cook after I've finished the big communal meal.
