#After 419, My Boyfriend Finally Broke Up with His Boyfriend#

[Gentle, stern, and impenetrable male idol x teary, flirtatious, love-addicted puppy]

Synopsis:

Pei Du had been dating his online boyfriend for three years, and had finally gotten into the same university as him.

He was sure they understood each other's feelings. But on the day they met in person, the man who showed up was a complete stranger. Gone was the sweet cuteness from behind the screen, replaced by blatant misogyny and deliberate aloofness.

He wouldn't even let Pei Du hold his hand.

Pei Du got drunk alone in his sorrow. When he woke up, he found himself in the arms of Lin Mingshen, the best friend of his boyfriend whom he hated most.

It was obvious that he was the one who had topped.

Pei Du's head was splitting. He asked Lin Mingshen how he wanted to handle things.

The aloof flower of the medical school had marks all over his neck, yet still held his head high. "I want you to take responsibility and be my boyfriend."

Pei Du couldn't understand it and was utterly repulsed. He sneered, using his words to wound him. "You're my boyfriend's best friend, and we haven't even broken up. Are you in such a hurry to steal his place as the other man?"

Lin Mingshen looked aggrieved and offered only one defense. "I'm not his best friend."

Pei Du scoffed, and his dislike for him grew even stronger.

Consumed by guilt over his betrayal, Pei Du decided to break up with his boyfriend. But his boyfriend had gone away for training, so Pei Du had to swallow his words.

He thought he should at least explain things face-to-face. Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing justice to their relationship.

But the man he'd gotten intimate with seemed determined to be the one on top?

Lin Mingshen had had a crush on Pei Du for three years, but had never dared to approach him. He was awkward with words and a loner, and Pei Du seemed to hate him too, always avoiding him.

But he really did like him. He had also spent a long time preparing to confess to Pei Du.

He never expected some idiot to deliberately seduce Pei Du and successfully become his boyfriend.

Lin Mingshen was consumed with jealousy, but could only force himself to befriend that idiot. Then, claiming he was offering advice, he tricked him into handing over his account.

He was so immersed in his relationship with Pei Du that he never told him the truth.

He thought that as long as Pei Du was happy, he was willing to be the shadow behind the screen.

Until that night, when Pei Du got drunk in his arms. At last, he decided he would never let go again. Using "taking responsibility" as an excuse, he awkwardly drew close, tried to please Pei Du, and stuck by his side.

Lin Mingshen thought he hadn't done anything wrong. He wasn't the other man.

If his boyfriend of three years didn't acknowledge him, wasn't he the pitiful one?

[Bonus scene]

Even after they married, Doctor Lin never forgot where he started and stayed on guard against every man who appeared beside Teacher Pei.

After a performance, Doctor Lin brought flowers to Teacher Pei, who was still backstage in his makeup, then pulled him into his arms, flowers and all.

Lin Mingshen rested his chin on the shoulder of the person in his arms and murmured miserably, "That dance troupe's director from Country A looks at you strangely. He even kissed your hand and wants to take you back to his country!"

Pei Du laughed and held him as he explained patiently. "That's only because I danced well and he wants to recruit me. A hand-kiss is normal too..."

"It's not normal, it's not normal..." Lin Mingshen hurriedly kissed his face. "He looks at you the way I used to look at you. I don't want anyone to take you away!"

Pei Du could only hold the man who was crying and soothe him. "All right, all right. I'll turn down his offer and stop contacting him, okay?"

Lin Mingshen sniffled and nodded, then kissed him again, pressing his luck as he made a request. "When we get back to the hotel, you have to make it up to me, using my favorite position..."
