Upcoming story: [Hunger Bond]

------ Blurb ------

[Old playboy x innocent young man]

Han Ziqi has an intellectually disabled older brother. One day, his brother brings home a man. The man has a face that could bewitch anyone, and he mooches off the family, freeloading on food and lodging.

For his eighteenth birthday, the man promises him a present, then pins him against the door and steals his first kiss.

Before Han Ziqi can confront him, the man disappears.

Later, he sees the man's face in Forbes magazine.

Dressed in a suit, a business-world elite, radiating an irresistible charm.

Han Ziqi gazes at the cover and smiles bitterly. He doesn't even have the man's phone number.

On his twenty-third birthday, the man pins him to the bed aboard a luxury cruise ship and grabs his ankle, tugging it down. "You don't have a first kiss to lose this year. How about I give you a different present?"

1. A domineering top who never stops talking dirty x a cool, aloof bottom whose actions belie his words

2. The top is a complete playboy, but only toward the bottom

3. Older man / younger man, both each other's first, happy ending, a little melodramatic, not a pure fluff story

4. You can tell from the word count that this is a slow burn, with plenty of romantic tension

5. There is a side yuri couple, included to move the plot along but not explored in depth

6. An early work; it's not very mature in any respect

[Hunger Bond]

[Free-spirited photographer bottom x elite businessman top]

[Skin hunger syndrome x hypersexuality]

[Severe social anxiety x not what he seems]

In college, the quiet and reserved Xu Ran once thought that he and Fu Shengyan, the center of everyone's attention, would never have anything to do with each other.

That is, until he discovered the campus heartthrob's secret in an abandoned classroom building.

Xu Ran couldn't quite explain the "hunger bond" between him and Fu Shengyan.

In their dorm, in hotels, at home, in any secluded corner, they soothed one another. Their relationship lasted until shortly before graduation, when they ended things amicably.

Later, Xu Ran is invited to photograph a promising young entrepreneur.

It's been five years since he last saw Fu Shengyan.

After the shoot, Xu Ran's skin hunger flares up.

As if in a daze, he follows Fu Shengyan home.

In the pitch-black room, aside from their breathing, all he remembers are the words Fu Shengyan whispers in his ear: "I've dreamed of you every night for the past five years."
