Yu Xia hates rich people.
Because he's poor.
Forced to drop out of school at seventeen, he came to the big city to work. He did every kind of dirty, exhausting job: waiting tables, dressing up as a mascot in the sweltering heat, working as a club attendant, and putting up with creeps harassing him. His shift supervisor docked his pay whenever he felt like it. It was infuriating!
Yu Xia thought it was all the rich people's fault!
The more he saw of the city's glittering world, the more resentful he became. Why were some people born superior, carefree, and able to enjoy themselves forever, while he had to serve them?
Fueled by envy and a sudden mean streak, Yu Xia used a nearby-people app to lure some poor sucker into an online relationship.
-
Yu Xia wasn't after money or sex. He simply looked down on every rich person equally and wanted to toy with them.
At the start of the online relationship, he was a clingy little kitten, calling the other guy "Gege," "Daddy," "hubby," and "darling," throwing every ridiculous pet name at him. He was infatuated and sweet, a hopeless romantic who'd be lost without his hubby and lived only for him!
[Hubby, I love you so much.]
[What am I supposed to do without you? Sob, sob.]
[Hubby, promise you'll never break up with me, okay? I'll send you pictures of anything you want to see.]
The innocent, naive little sweetheart, who also wasn't shy about professing his love, won the heart of the older man just as expected.
But just as the older man was falling deep in love, Yu Xia abruptly dumped him without a second thought. He could barely be bothered to come up with a proper reason. Even when he saw the older man getting drunk for his sake in a private room, Yu Xia was full of smug satisfaction, thinking he was amazing for playing the rich idiot like a fiddle.
But he didn't get to gloat for long. The truth soon came out.
Yu Xia was caught red-handed in his dingy little rental apartment.
When Wen Zeyue discovered that the girlfriend he'd been dating online for six months was actually a man, he laughed in anger.
"Fine." After he'd calmed down, Wen Zeyue said, "A man works too."
After all, Yu Xia had taken everything from him: his first time as a virgin, and everything else that represented his chastity.
Yu Xia didn't want him, and there was no way he could date anyone else.
So what if Yu Xia was a man?
A man still had to take responsibility for him.
