Forgive My Poor Showing

After nearly five years cut off from the outside world, Qi Heng gets out of prison and discovers that his mother is about to remarry. The man she plans to marry is an old drifter with no real skills, and he has a nephew who depends on him and is incredibly difficult to get along with. Qi Heng swears he will ruin this so-called good thing. Ji Cen is dead set against his uncle marrying because the woman has a son who is still serving time. He has tried every trick in the book to break them up, but none of it has worked. Then that delinquent gets released, and Ji Cen seems to have found an ally. From the first time he meets Ji Cen, Qi Heng knows it would be best to keep his distance. He never expected that later he would go completely crazy trying to throw himself at him. Ji Cen thinks just as little of a notorious character like Qi Heng. He wants nothing to do with him, but unexpectedly, he ends up falling for him. One is a "desperado" in everyone else's words, and the other is a "big con artist." They are a little out of place, and yet they do have a certain affinity for each other. Switch, both virgins, a long HE, everyday minutiae and petty trifles. Wild, carefree days in an old city in Northeast China, and a rambling love story written by someone who isn't much of a writer. Slow burn. If you get impatient easily, this probably isn't for you. Please remember the blurb. Don't take an omniscient point of view, and don't argue. Exclusively published on Jinjiang.

Here's the blurb: After suddenly learning the truth about being kidnapped as a child, Zhou Ji has no choice but to move from the northern metropolis where he has lived for years to a small southern city he has never visited. Feeling lonely, he wants to get along with the new older brother in his family, who loves to put on a sour face. But as they try to get along, things start going off topic. Qin Shang has always known he is a substitute, but he has still lived a very happy life. After the boy he replaced returns, he realizes that his sense of belonging no longer seems to come from his adoptive parents. Instead, it starts to come from the younger brother who is always wandering around in front of him. Zhou Ji: I just wanted to get along with you. Why did you think I liked you? Qin Shang: So, want to date? Zhou Ji: ... (Are you crazy?) A self-deluded, outwardly cold but inwardly warm, seemingly proper man × a cocky, rebellious, sunny, cheerful, genuine man One-line summary: Big brother's love is overloaded. Theme: Every cause has its effect.
