After My Ex Cheated, I Found Someone New

Everyone thinks Xi Hang is a fool. Shang Jinlin forgets his birthday, keeps a lover on the side, brings that person home to sleep with him, and eventually even listens to his father and marries another woman. Xi Hang leaves in disappointment time and again, only to be coaxed and pressured back home by Shang Jinlin every time. Shang Jinlin once thought Xi Hang would never leave him. Then one day, he went to the place where Xi Hang had recently been working part-time and saw a man younger and better-looking than him, and even taller, walking out of the house with his Xi Hang. He exchanged a glance with Qin Zaiwang, who was beside Xi Hang. Each of them saw the other as a rival in love. “Teacher Xi, who is he?” Qin Zaiwang asked. Before Xi Hang could answer, Shang Jinlin cut in coldly. “I’m his boyfriend.” He put extra emphasis on the word “boyfriend.” Qin Zaiwang smiled. “Is that so?” He looked Shang Jinlin up and down. The more he smiled, the more his expression seemed to mock him. Even after that, Shang Jinlin still refused to change his ways. Finally, Xi Hang, completely disillusioned with him, made up his mind to leave. Shang Jinlin begged through his tears, “I’ll never see anyone else again. Please don’t go, okay?” But this time, Xi Hang resolutely walked toward Qin Zaiwang. Qin Zaiwang looked at Shang Jinlin and smiled. “Now I’m his boyfriend.” Note: 1. A devoted, patient, gentle bottom × a mean-spirited, fake underachiever, big-dog top (the top changes later). 2. The bottom is a giver, starved for affection and soft-hearted. 3. The top changes. Don’t pick the wrong one. 4. The bottom is a high school teacher. He tutored the top for a while, but they did not date during the tutoring period. [Please add my ongoing novel, Public Stand-In, to your reading list. Here’s the blurb~] Chen You is an orphan. After his grandfather passed away, Chen You spent his days wandering aimlessly around this enormous city. When he got hungry, he would go into a restaurant and eat the food left behind by other customers. One day, he caused a huge amount of trouble. But the “victim” said he wouldn’t press charges and even offered to find Chen You a good job, so Chen You foolishly followed him home. * Chen You moved into a huge house like something out of heaven and put on new clothes. There was always more food than he could finish at every meal. He thought he must have gotten lucky to meet someone as nice as Jian Zhichuan. But as time went by, the man began to reveal his vicious nature. If Chen You didn’t follow his rules, he would be beaten and scolded at best, and locked up at worst. When Chen You saw him bring another man home for the night, he immediately jumped off the sofa and started arguing with him. He thought they were partners, and that the handsome man who had followed him home was the other man. But Jian Zhichuan only slapped him coldly. That day, Chen You understood. They weren’t partners, after all, and they didn’t have to be faithful to each other. So after that, whenever someone said they liked him, he would sleep with them. He hid everything they gave him in a box under his bed. That night, Chen You went into the room of the piano teacher the man had hired for him and said miserably, “He yelled at me again.” “If I ignore him, he kicks me. If I kiss him, he yells at me. I really don’t get it.” “He’s a jerk,” the man said. Chen You said, “He is kind of a jerk, but don’t say that about him. He’s very busy with work, so he has a bit of a temper.” That night, Chen You slept in the piano teacher’s room. Jian Zhichuan, who lived on the same floor, had no idea. At last, one day, Jian Zhichuan discovered the large box Chen You had hidden under his bed. He had thought Chen You was his private stand-in, but he had no idea that anyone could have him.
