"A steady, older top who unconditionally spoils his bottom × a sweet, naturally adorable boy (Maybe?) A broken beauty of a bottom who is possessive, a little crazy, bad at flirting but loves to tease (Yes!)"
A pretty, obedient little clingy kid lived next door to Lang Tan. From childhood on, he loved gazing up at him with big, dewy eyes and calling him "Big Brother." He wanted Lang Tan to comfort him after nightmares and carry him when he sprained his ankle. He was practically no different from Lang Tan's own little brother.
Yu Yizhou: "I love Big Brother most of all! OvO"
No one expected an accident one day to leave Yu Yizhou with a head injury, unable to remember who Lang Tan was.
Lang Tan carried on just as before, caring for Yu Yizhou in every possible way despite his cold, stern face. But Yu Yizhou's gaze grew stranger and stranger.
No matter how Yu Yizhou teased him, even when his bathrobe accidentally slipped to the floor, Lang Tan calmly picked it up and put it back around him. Yu Yizhou looked completely innocent and sweet. "Is it wrong to love Big Brother?"
Lang Tan was silent for a long moment. "...That doesn't justify sneaking a kiss while I was asleep yesterday. Do you even remember that I'm your brother?"
Yu Yizhou couldn't help asking, "If I stop calling you Big Brother someday, would that mean..."
Before he could finish, a force slammed him down hard onto the sofa.
Lang Tan had long since reached his limit. "Would making it hurt a little teach you to listen to me next time?"
They somehow ended up in bed right under everyone's noses. Not long after, though, Yu Yizhou suddenly pulled away and left. They were apart for seven years. Lang Tan did look for Yu Yizhou, but then he happened to see him with someone else.
It seemed Yu Yizhou had only been young and playful back then. He could live just fine without Lang Tan.

They met again at a family dinner. Yu Yizhou had completely shed his former sweetness and innocence. As soon as the elders left, he pulled Lang Tan by the tie into a corner. "Big Brother, it's been so long. Why don't we go somewhere else and catch up...? My boyfriend isn't here. He'll never know what we do."
Lang Tan's expression remained composed, but his chest felt painfully tight. "Yu Yizhou, stop messing around."
Yu Yizhou smiled faintly and let go. "You're always so self-righteous. Too bad I don't believe you anymore. What should we do, Big Brother?"
Lang Tan suddenly wrapped an arm around Yu Yizhou's waist, his grip frighteningly strong. Before Yu Yizhou could react, Lang Tan caught the back of his neck and forced his head down to kiss him.

[Later, someone asked Yu Yizhou what Lang Tan was to him.
Yu Yizhou thought for a moment. "Family, my big brother, my husband, my ex... Maybe my lover, or the other man?"
Lang Tan: "..." (Covering Yu Yizhou's mouth.) "Baby, what are you talking about?"]
