A pampered, irresistible crier who tears up easily × a rough, old-fashioned man who's all bark and soft-hearted
A top-tier star designer × a rich "dad" who has no idea how to raise a kid
One-on-one, both each other's first
Short and very sweet
At seventeen, Jiang Shixu found out he wasn't his adoptive father's biological child. His adoptive father sent him to the countryside, where he stumbled into Wen Yue's home.
He'd never had to suffer and didn't want to sleep rough, so he clung to Wen Yue and begged him to take him away, saying his adoptive father could pay for his upkeep afterward.
Jiang Shixu saw Wen Yue unloading cargo at the docks. When someone picked a fight, Wen Yue didn't hesitate to throw hands. Coming home covered in blood in the middle of the night was nothing unusual.
Wen Yue was trying to ask him where he went to school when Jiang Shixu thought he had come to claim his life. Trembling, he burrowed into his blanket. "Bro... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have lied to you..."
Wen Yue hadn't even finished speaking when the kid squeezed his eyes shut and fainted from fright.
Wen Yue worked at an auto repair shop during the day. At night, he helped the owner keep an eye on the docks and collect a few usurious loans.
The village announced a demolition payout this New Year, so Wen Yue went home to collect his money. That night, he found a kid living in his broken brick house.
The same kid who'd thrown up all over him.
The kid was so fussy, turning his nose up at this and refusing that. If Wen Yue scolded him too harshly, he'd burst into tears.
Wen Yue had gone home to collect some money and come back with a clingy little pest as well.
Every day, Jiang Shixu hovered around him. "Bro, I'm really good at this! Sit there and I'll draw you a picture~"
Wen Yue was utterly charmed by him.
Another freight company had just sprung up in Liancheng, monopolizing the ports of three cities.
They say the boss is generous, too, handing out New Year and holiday bonuses thicker than pillows!
Everyone rushed to apply. According to the employees, every weekend a kid dressed like a doll would show up at the office tower.
Whenever he came, no one else could get into the boss's office.
Inside the office,
Wen Yue had lifted Jiang Shixu onto the desk. Jiang Shixu turned his head away and refused to look at him.
Meanwhile, the boss, whom everyone called ruthless and untouchable, was kneeling beside the desk, slipping an anklet he'd made himself around the kid's ankle.
"I was wrong, bro. Next time I travel for work, I'll definitely be back on time. You can punish me for every extra minute."
Jiang Shixu turned back with an awkward air and tapped his lips. "...Then give me a kiss."
