The Sickly Beauty and His Little Wolf

[Completed. The full book costs only 3.29 yuan. Thanks for supporting the official release.] Jiang Yisen is an obscure painter with poor health, falling ill every now and then. And yet he's managed to live alone in an alley in the old city for nearly seven years. One early summer day, a high school student covered in bruises moves in next door. He has a face full of hostility, never says more than three words at a time, and clearly can't stand anyone. His name is rather special: Shengxia. In the first week, Jiang Yisen hears the kid nearly blow up the kitchen and rushes over to put out the fire. In the second week, Jiang Yisen collapses with a high fever, and someone carries him to the hospital while he's half-conscious. After that, Jiang Yisen cooks for his neighbor every day, and the boy becomes his model. Jiang Yisen lowers his eyes and draws his bright gaze, his long, slender fingers, the texture of his skin. And later, in certain moments, Shengxia becomes his canvas. … On a night filled with the racket of cicadas, Jiang Yisen comes home unusually late. The hallway is stiflingly hot. Jiang Yisen fumbles for his keys in the dark, but a hand forcibly pulls him into the apartment across the hall. The eighteen-year-old boy clumsily and urgently kisses him, anger surging in his eyes, lit by the faint light. “You knew I was falling for you from the start, didn't you?” The older man, put on the spot, feels his heart pounding, his chest rising and falling with each breath. Yet he still gently kisses the other's eyelids and the tip of his nose. “Kid, you almost killed me just now.” [Bonus scene] At first. Jiang Yisen: “Sorry, I can't handle strenuous exercise.” Shengxia: “It's okay. I'll take care of you.” Later. Shengxia: “Maybe… is there a certain kind of fruit you like?” Reader's guide: ① Top-led. Frail, gentle beauty painter top x cold on the outside, obedient wolfdog student bottom. No switching, no mutual pairing. Ten-year age gap. ② The bottom pursues the top, but doesn't start right away. ③ The top is frail. His health probably won't improve until the bonus chapters. ④ Older sister and younger dogboy romance, mutual pampering, sweet story with a touch of mutual healing. Written for my own enjoyment, so readers with strong preferences about top and bottom roles may want to skip it, owo. [Mutual pampering means the two leads dote on each other.] 5. Everyday slice-of-life, like orange soda. Around a hundred thousand words. Thanks for supporting the official release. Theme: You reap what you sow.
