My Boyfriend Always Thinks I'm a Pitiful Little Thing

Sneaky, devious top & saucy bottom Xie Ci had a miserable start from the start. Abandoned by his parents as a child and abused by cruel relatives, he learned that nothing but money could be relied upon. In his previous life, he buried himself in work and built a business empire. Plenty of people in his circle called him a madman. For the sake of profit, he could even marry a man. His grueling workload swallowed up his life. His marriage, a union in name only, fell apart, and his spouse died because of him. His life, already a complete mess, was utterly destroyed the moment the explosive went off. After being reborn, Xie Ci wanted to slow down, enjoy the present, and experience the pleasures of being a poor kid again. But Gu Yufeng was acting very strangely, always looking at him with a complicated, sympathetic expression. Xie Ci had just been bullied by his cousin. The next day, the cousin broke his leg. He helped his maternal uncle keep an eye on his street stall, and some lunatic came along, swiped all the goods, dropped a stack of money, and ran off. Even the cafeteria lady suddenly started piling his plate high with meat, warmly urging him to eat more and telling him there was plenty if he wanted seconds. Xie Ci turned around, puzzled, and sure enough, he saw a certain handsome guy at the back of the line grinning like a sneaky little dog. Not only had the whole situation taken a strange turn, but it had also gotten downright improper A group of them sneaked out for a late-night snack, and Xie Ci handed Gu Yufeng a toothpick. Gu Yufeng didn’t take it. “No need. I’m great at sucking.” Xie Ci: “Sucking what?” Gu Yufeng: “Obviously, sucking that…” Everyone: “Hmm?” He smiled faintly. “That snail, of course.” Xie Ci nodded. “I thought you meant sucking…” Everyone: “Hmm?!” He drawled, “The snail’s rear end.” Everyone: “…” I suspect you two are being obscene! * The marriage between the founder of the Xie Group and the only son of the Gu family caused a sensation. Nobody thought it would work, but five years later, the two major corporations had joined forces, and Xie Ci and Gu Yufeng had become the perfect couple everyone envied. Only Gu Yufeng knew that their marriage was a joke. In Xie Ci’s world, there was only himself. After a huge fight over Xie Ci’s lover, Gu Yufeng suddenly returned to age seventeen and set out to confront Xie Ci. But could that sallow-faced teenager, always sporting bruises and skipping class, really be the old fox who’d outsmarted him at every turn? Gu Yufeng sat in the car, watching Xie Ci manning a street stall across the road, and frowned. “Buy every Ultraman at that stall.” Driver: Huh? Weren’t you here to settle the score with him? Gu Yufeng: I’ll settle the score after he’s fattened up. There’s no sense of achievement in picking on a poor little thing like this. Driver: … Note: Both leads are reborn. They’re an evenly matched, mutually devoted couple, and the story focuses on everyday life. There’s no affair. The characters are not based on real people. The countries, cities, and exam systems mentioned are all fictional, so please don’t associate them with reality. Theme: Spring is the loveliest of the four seasons, and youth is made for wild abandon.
