Snow Falling on My Shoulder [Reborn]

Older, Daddy-type gong who’s always dressing up his “wife” versus a sharp-tongued, cutting but truly beautiful violinist shou. Age gap | Size difference

Pei Zhihe, a prodigy in the world of classical music, was as beautiful as his playing was outstanding. His tongue was just as sharp as his playing was brilliant.

Pei Zhihe had always thought he was doomed to be alone, with no family to rely on,

until an enormous debt landed him in front of a man with staggering power.

Zhou Yanfu was the most untouchable figure in Europe’s upper crust: cold, domineering, fawned over by everyone, and the subject of countless rumors.

Pei’s mother said, “All you have to do is sweet-talk him, and you can save the whole family.”

Pei Zhihe decided to do his filial duty.

On his first day with Zhou Yanfu, Pei Zhihe was 100 points sweet and 1 point cutting.

On his second day with Zhou Yanfu, Pei Zhihe was 50 points sweet and 100 points cutting.

On his Nth day with Zhou Yanfu, Pei Zhihe was -10,000 points sweet and infinitely cutting!

Pei’s mother had been eagerly waiting for the creditor to wave away their debt. At last, she received a call from her son

“I tried my best. This man is impossible to please, stubborn, thick-headed, pigheaded, inflexible, arrogant, and hard-hearted...”

The man leaned against the liquor cabinet, a meaningful smile on his lips.

“Have you considered that maybe you’re going about it the wrong way?”

Pei Zhihe: “...”

Pei Zhihe: “Then how am I supposed to sweet-talk him?”

Zhou Yanfu took off his black glove and held it out. “Come here and let me kiss you, or let me be the one you kiss.”

* The gong is reborn at the start of the story, returning to an earlier point in time with all his memories.

“In this life, I live only to love you.”

Reader’s guide:

1. He adores his wife, and his wife is everything. Both are each other’s first and only, happy ending.

2. Older gong, ten-year age gap, 22 and 32.

3. The shou genuinely has someone he admires, and that person won’t disappoint him. The story has no plot involving that person; the gong can only imagine rivals and never manages to find one. The gong also has an element of taking what he wants by force, and he’s a real bastard! A controlling, doglike bastard who doesn’t behave himself!

4. The story takes place in France, Egypt, and Hong Kong. The names are just for show; the setting is mostly fictional. The gong is an underground kingpin who can do anything.

5. I’ve tried to research the plot and classical music, but there’s a lot of artistic license. Please don’t nitpick; it’s all for romantic fun!

Blurb:

Professor Yan found a little star beast with pointed ears and violet eyes. On the livestream, it lay in Professor Yan’s arms, its tiny nostrils flaring as it tried hard to catch Yan Huai’s scent.

In the ultra-A08 galaxy, where everyone was a beast, people gasped in amazement:

W-what is that adorable creature?!

Help, can something this cute really exist?!

Not to brag, but I could pet it to death in a day!

Yan Huai’s research institute housed every anomalous star beast in the ultra-A08 galaxy, studying their genes and growth.

Everyone in the galaxy knew Professor Yan was unusually stern and cold. While everyone else got nosebleeds over the adorable beasts, he remained impassive and frosty the whole time. Melting Professor Yan’s heart? Not a chance

Until, day after day on the livestream, viewers noticed that Professor Yan’s restrained neckline was getting lower and lower, while the little star beast slept draped around his neck.

The chat went wild about Professor Yan’s collarbones. The little star beast glanced over with its cool violet eyes, and the next second, Professor Yan’s shirt was buttoned all the way to the top again.

It wasn’t that Yan Huai hadn’t noticed.

Every day, he noticed how much of a scheming little green tea his star beast was.

In front of Yan Huai, it tilted its head, clasped its hands, and fluttered its eyes: “Could you tell me again the story about how you chose me out of a thousand ugly monsters?”

Behind Yan Huai’s back, it stomped on Pixiu, punched Yinglong, and gave a fierce, frosty laugh: “Hmph! Tell me, are you going to mess with Yan Huai again and make him hold you while you sleep?”

Little Pixiu and little Yinglong: !! QAQ We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare...

Yan Huai had his share of worries, too.

His laboratory had limited space, and once the little star beasts’ forms stabilized and matured, he would set them free.

But what about this lawless one in his arms...

The man sighed almost inaudibly. “Why haven’t you grown up yet?”

Much later,

the violet-eyed beast lazily lowered its gaze, its pointed tail easily curling around Yan Zhun’s side.

Yan Huai’s eyes were flushed, and he bit down hard on his lips, which had never been touched by another.

“Teacher,” he murmured, leaning by his ear to ask with casual nonchalance, “Am I grown-up enough now?”
