The Abandoned Rat

[Obsessive Top Who Can't Have the One He Loves x Proud Bottom with a Hidden Dark Side]

Ji Yao was born into a happy family. Though his father was often away for work, he always kept Ji Yao in his thoughts and sent him gifts every month.

When Ji Yao was nine, his mother died unexpectedly. His father took him to his new home, where Ji Yao learned he was an illegitimate child.

The handsome, top student across from him was his older brother, Ji Mingchuan.

His father said, "Yao Yao, your brother is good at school. He'll tutor you from now on."

Ji Yao nodded, picked up his torn homework from the trash, and saw the elegant character for "Get lost" written on it.

His father said, "Yao Yao, Dad can't pick you up today. Your brother will take you home."

Ji Yao nodded. As soon as he hung up, Ji Mingchuan rode past him at full speed, splashing muddy water all over him.

His father said again, "Yao Yao, it's your birthday today. Your brother will take you to see his university, one of the best in the country. You should take him as your role model."

Ji Yao nodded and went along, only to be locked in a dark basement for three whole days. He was bitten by rats and left with a lasting illness.

On his deathbed, his father said, "Yao Yao, Dad is sorry..."

Ji Yao thought, You really are sorry. You left me with Ji Mingchuan.

Ji Mingchuan hated me.

Sure enough, the moment their father died, Ji Yao was thrown out.

Seven years later, Ji Yao entered the basement. A faint moan mingled with the damp air.

He approached the man curled up in a cardboard box and leaned in for a kiss. "Brother."

Ji Mingchuan turned his head away.

Ji Yao loosened his tie, stroked his warm neck, and tied a red scarf around it.

"Everyone has been fooled by your halo your whole life. I'm the only one who knows how bad you are."

Ji Mingchuan didn't want to listen. He turned over.

"But, Brother," Ji Yao said, tightening the scarf, "you're not as bad as me."

The sensation of suffocation annoyed Ji Mingchuan. "Are you done? Then get lost."

"Want to know how the old man died?"

"...Did you kill Dad?"

Shh. In the corner, a rat squeaked with delight.

Ji Yao lowered his voice. "I hear you're still a virgin?"
