Please add it to your reading list! Reunion after years apart / Destined to be Playful, shameless, drama-loving gong (Ji Wuyi) × sharp-tongued but soft-hearted shou (Zhou Qi) He is a handsome, dependable yin-yang master (not really). He is a clever, adorable little ghost (not exactly). Zhou Qi bumped into a ghost when he was out. The ghost introduced himself as Ji Wuyi. At first, Zhou Qi didn't think much of it. Who knew the ghost would follow him home and shamelessly refuse to leave? Zhou Qi: Are ghosts all this bold these days? Coming to a yin-yang master's home and acting like a shameless pest? Ji Wuyi wasn't afraid of him at all. For some inexplicable reason, he wasn't even scared of Zhou Qi's ghost-banishing tricks. He was also a master at playing pitiful. Whenever he looked at Zhou Qi with those big, sad eyes, Zhou Qi couldn't bring himself to get angry. Worn down by Ji Wuyi, Zhou Qi had no choice but to treat him like he wasn't there and let him stay. One day, Zhou Qi suddenly noticed a familiar mark on Ji Wuyi. It was one he'd left behind many years ago. "Who are you, really?" Ji Wuyi couldn't say how long he'd been dead. All he knew was that he'd wandered the world for as long as he could remember. No one could see him. No one could hear him. Until one person bumped into him. Ji Wuyi froze. Watching the person hurry away, he thought, No matter what, I have to find him. He came up with all sorts of ways to make a scene and cling to Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi said no, but never actually forced him to leave. So he's the type who's all talk and soft-hearted after all. Ji Wuyi found it familiar. It seemed like he'd clung to someone like this once before... "Zhou Qi, have we met somewhere before? Did I... fall for you a long time ago?" "Yes. You just forgot... and so did I." Ji Wuyi smiled brightly. "It's okay if we forgot. I'll just tell you again." Reader's guide: 1. Not scary, so don't worry. Younger gong, 1v1, both virgins, happy ending. A sweet little story. 2. The CP stays together and their roles don't switch. The whole thing is made up, so don't take it seriously. Upcoming story: "What Do I Do About My Nephew Always Trying to Get Into My Bed?" Easy-to-placate, stubborn, sharp-tongued gong × gentle, caring shou When Chai Shao's mentor died unexpectedly while on duty, he left behind an orphan named Lu Hui. "Why wasn't it you who died?" Chai Shao had no answer to Lu Hui's accusation. He was the one who should have died. He accepted this debt between them. Lu Hui had no suitable guardian, so he said, "Come home with me." * The two of them bickered their way through life together, though it was always Lu Hui doing the arguing and making a fuss on his own. Chai Shao never said a harsh word to him. Until one day, he realized Lu Hui seemed to have a crush on someone. Chai Shao stayed calm. "It's fine. He's going through puberty. Just guide him in the right direction. No big deal." ...Was the person he had a crush on a boy? Chai Shao: "It's fine. A boy is... A boy??" Chai Shao wondered if he'd raised him wrong and tried all sorts of ways to make him straight. It didn't work. For the first time, Chai Shao argued with him, and neither of them could convince the other. Then Lu Hui got into college, left, and declared he didn't need Chai Shao looking after him anymore. He never came back. * To be precise, Lu Hui ran away. He had every reason to hate Chai Shao, yet couldn't help wanting the warmth he gave him. He'd always been clear about love and hate, and had never had such complicated feelings before. All he could think of was running. But running away didn't mean he'd let go. Not a day passed while he was gone without thinking about Chai Shao. He had to go back. The only problem was that his uncle seemed to be homophobic. This was going to be tricky... After hearing about it, Lu Hui's roommate started offering him terrible advice: There's nothing men can't work out in bed. Lu Hui was skeptical. "Would that actually work?" His roommate thumped his chest. "Trust me, bro. You can't go wrong." Lu Hui didn't understand why he had to get into someone else's bed, but he did it anyway. * Four years later, Chai Shao ran into danger while on duty. A tall, long-legged SWAT officer rescued him. Chai Shao politely thanked him, but the man kept holding on and didn't seem inclined to let go. Chai Shao was puzzled. Then the man took off his mask and smiled at him. "Uncle, long time no see." Lu Hui had changed tremendously in the four years they'd been apart. He was obedient and clingy, and had acquired a hobby Chai Shao couldn't understand: he liked getting into Chai Shao's bed. Chai Shao: ? Bonus scene: A few days later, Chai Shao could take it no longer. Lu Hui was a grown man and took up way too much space! Besides... Chai Shao grabbed Lu Hui's wandering hand. "Men shouldn't touch men like that, and uncles and nephews shouldn't either... Whatever the case, we shouldn't be touching. Keep your hands to yourself." Lu Hui gripped his wrist in return. "But, Uncle, I miss you so much. I've loved you since high school." Chai Shao touched his chest and didn't dare open his eyes. "...My heart's not in good shape. Don't say things like that." Lu Hui smiled and lowered his head to cover Chai Shao's lips with his own. Chai Shao: "When I said keep your hands to yourself, I didn't mean you should use your mouth!" Lu Hui licked his lips. "Sorry. I thought you closed your eyes because you wanted me to kiss you." Chai Shao: ? Theme: Separation is for the sake of meeting again.
