Blurb:
1. The first time Tao Ning met Huo Yuanchuan, Huo Yuanchuan was being cornered by the local thugs against a wall. His eyes were half-lidded, the cigarette between his fingers glowing and fading. He seemed nonchalant, yet he gave off the dangerous air of a wolf lurking in the dark.
The next day, all the thugs ended up in the hospital. For reasons of his own, Tao Ning rented his house to Huo Yuanchuan, and their “cohabitation” began.
2. After the college entrance exams, Tao Ning nervously confessed to Huo Yuanchuan. That night, the man's warm, alcohol-laced breath brushed Tao Ning's ear as he murmured, “Ningning...”
But the next morning, once sober, Huo Yuanchuan rejected Tao Ning's confession through his actions and left town that very day.
Only later did Tao Ning realize that the “Ningning” he'd called out to wasn't him.
3. Tao Ning did as Huo Yuanchuan wished and stayed completely away from him, refusing to see him. More than a month later, the man cornered him in a car and stared at him. “Why didn't you answer my calls?”
*Sunny high school student bottom X nonchalant, dangerous top;
*Ten-year age gap. They begin dating when the younger one is an adult;
*The bottom is an illegitimate child with little connection to his biological father or his family;
*A slight substitute trope, with angst, happy ending.
