My Childhood Friend Says I'm Sweet and Hard to Take Care Of

[Older man/Childhood friends, advance copy below] [Clingy, silly beauty bottom * fiercely possessive, fatherly top] Chen Annan first met Lu Qingyuan at his parents' funeral. At four years old, he was taken in by the Lu family as their adopted son, and gained an older brother who was related to him in name, if not by blood. His kindergarten friends told him that having an older brother meant having someone to play with, someone who would buy you treats and toys. Chen Annan looked up at the older boy in front of him, who never seemed to smile, his eyes sparkling: ovo Having an older brother is the best! He was going to stick to Lu Qingyuan every single day! The Clingy Kid's Plan: 1. When his brother is unhappy, he'll play a little ghost to cheer him up. 2. When his brother gets scolded, he'll comfort him like a little adult. 3. When his brother is sick, he'll sing him to sleep. He'll become his brother's most loyal sidekick! Recently, Lu Qingyuan's father noticed that his usually cold and quiet son had been acting strangely. He was actually following Chen Annan around everywhere. Chen Annan plays at being a ghost to scare people. Lu Qingyuan, expressionless: Wow, that's so scary~ Chen Annan wants to sing his brother to sleep. Lu Qingyuan tucks him in: Good night. Tomorrow, we'll read your favorite, Pippi Longstocking. Chen Annan takes care of his sick brother. Lu Qingyuan silently shifts his head onto his own shoulder, so he'll have a more comfortable pillow. Lu Qingyuan had been distant and indifferent from a young age. Then, when he was nine, a little brother suddenly appeared in his life. He felt nothing for this unfamiliar boy, and even disliked him a little. But Chen Annan was like a little shadow, following him wherever he went and always calling him "big brother" in a sweet, gentle voice. When he was sick, the little boy gave him a thousand paper cranes he'd folded over several nights. His wish was: May Big Brother be happy, healthy, and blessed forever. From that moment on, Lu Qingyuan wanted to give him the very best of everything. When he grew up, Chen Annan realized his brother was acting strange. He wanted to take a bath with his brother, but was rejected. He wanted to sleep with his brother, but was rejected. He wanted to spend time alone with his brother, but was rejected again. Chen Annan: But we've been together since we were little! QAQ After growing utterly disappointed in his brother, Chen Annan turned to write a love letter to the person he had a crush on: I'll take care of you for the rest of your life. Before he could deliver the letter, he was pinned against the bathroom wall. Lu Qingyuan's eyes were dark: "You can't even put your own socks on without me. Who do you think you're going to take care of?" For several nights in a row, Lu Qingyuan's father noticed that the bathroom light stayed on until the middle of the night, with the sound of running water continuing without pause. He knocked on the door to remind them to hurry up. Chen Annan knelt in the bathtub, covering his mouth as he whispered, "Big Brother, I don't want to take any more baths..." [Reading Guide] 1.

Advance Copy: The Demon Lord Is Carrying His Archenemy's Child Cool, celibate beauty top Feng Xingxue × unhinged, arrogant bottom Xie Nanshu The demonic fiend Xie Nanshu was born rebellious and recklessly arrogant. With one sword, he could frost over fourteen provinces, and he was a terror throughout the cultivation world. After a single mistake left him gravely wounded, Xie Nanshu encountered a beauty while in a daze. In order to save himself, he cultivated with the beauty for several nights, but never even managed to see who the other man was. When he opened his eyes again, the beauty was gone, and there was a baby in his arms. Xie Nanshu had always been heartless. Just as he was about to abandon the baby, he suddenly realized the little brat was actually his own son. His son was born with a beauty's face, but unfortunately, he cried, fussed, and wet himself all the time. Xie Nanshu had spilled countless gallons of blood, but had never put so much painstaking effort into anything. Unfortunately, his son wasn't having it. Whenever he got angry, he'd slap Xie Nanshu. After being tormented over and over, Xie Nanshu finally reached his limit. He decided to go find the boy's mother and settle their old scores, calling it "traveling a thousand miles to deliver a son, a small gift with great affection." After searching the immortal and demonic realms, Xie Nanshu unexpectedly found the beauty seated in a grand hall, elegant and composed, revered by all. He was none other than Feng Xingxue, the greatest sword cultivator in the cultivation world. The boy's father was shattered: My archenemy and I have a kid. Sword Immortal Feng Xingxue had been troubled lately. Ever since he lost control of his cultivation that night, he had always seen a baby in his consciousness whenever he practiced, calling him "Daddy" over and over. In time, the child had become his inner demon. But he couldn't remember who he'd spent that night with. To defeat this inner demon, he decided to find the child and uncover the truth. Yet only a few days after setting out, he ran into his sworn enemy, Xie Nanshu. There was a baby in Xie Nanshu's arms, calling him "Daddy" in a soft, babyish voice. It was exactly the same as the voice in Feng Xingxue's consciousness. Looking closer, the baby even looked a little like him. Later, Xie Nanshu held the baby in his arms, completely baffled: How could this defeated loser be the one on top? The sect elders noticed that Sword Immortal Feng Xingxue's sleeping habits were becoming increasingly unusual. The lights in his chambers often stayed on all night, but no one dared ask why. At night, Xie Nanshu was on the verge of tears: "We can't do this again. I admit you're better than me..." Theme: Family is an essential part of life
