You're the Dream Guy I Can't Stop Thinking About

[Thin-skinned, seedless, sweet and juicy, adorably charming little watermelon spirit bottom x domineering CEO top who lives for watermelon and keeps pressuring the little watermelon spirit to have baby watermelons]

When Zhong Xingyuan was young, he lived on his grandfather's estate. One day, while eating watermelon, he suddenly decided that he wanted to grow a big, sweet watermelon of his own. One he grew himself would surely taste better than the gardeners' watermelons. If his grandfather ate it, he'd feel happy and get healthier, too.

So every day, the servants saw the young master watering the watermelon seeds he'd planted, squatting nearby with his chin in his hands and murmuring for them to hurry up and grow.

They all knew that the young master was just playing pretend and would never actually grow a watermelon, but no one dared spoil his fun. They could only humor him.

To their surprise, the young master's watermelon seeds really did sprout and grow vines. Now the young master was even more enthusiastic. He nearly wanted to build a nest in the orchard and keep watch over them every day.

At last, a tiny fruit appeared on the vine. It was green and round. The young master loved it so much he could hardly stand it. His watermelon was just too cute!

The little watermelon grew bigger day by day, and the young master grew fonder of it. He treated it like his best friend. With the little watermelon by his side, he never felt lonely. He even told it all the things he was too embarrassed to say out loud.

The young master no longer wanted to let his grandfather eat the little watermelon. It was his treasure, something he'd raised with his own hands. He wanted to be with it forever.

But just as his family sent someone to bring him home, the young master discovered that his little watermelon had disappeared! When he'd said good night to it yesterday, it had still been nestled in the soil!

At that moment, it felt as if the sky had fallen. He'd planned to take the little watermelon home with him. He'd even prepared a spot for it in the garden!

Boohoo... The young master cried until he nearly passed out. Who... Who had stolen his most precious little watermelon?

From then on, even after the young master grew up to become the CEO of the Zhong Group, a company powerful enough to shake the economy, an unhealed wound remained hidden beneath his cold, noble exterior.

He had lost his little watermelon.

And he could never look at watermelon again.

When news arrived that his grandfather was gravely ill, Zhong Xingyuan rushed over in the middle of the night. As soon as he entered the hospital room, he saw a boy leaning against the bedside, eyes brimming with tears.

He was told that the old man had apparently adopted the boy, an orphan from who knew where.

When his grandfather saw him, he took the boy's hand and placed it in his, making him promise to look after the boy from then on, like an older brother.

Zhong Xingyuan disliked getting close to people, let alone having a little brother foisted on him out of nowhere. But out of respect for his grandfather's request, he reluctantly agreed.

Even so, he remained cold as ice toward the timid boy who followed him around like a little shadow.

Once his grandfather's condition had stabilized, Zhong Xingyuan finally had time to visit the orchard. Returning to the old place stirred a bittersweet ache in his heart.

He really missed his little watermelon.

Without realizing it, Zhong Xingyuan had returned to the spot where he'd grown it. Beneath the moonlight lay a small, perfectly round watermelon, just like the one he remembered!

Unable to resist, Zhong Xingyuan carried the little watermelon back to his room.

Breathing in the scent of watermelon spreading through the air, Zhong Xingyuan fell into a peaceful sleep for once. But as he slept soundly, a strange movement beneath the covers woke him.

Dazed, he saw a soft, snowy-white figure in his arms. The boy was curled up against him, sleeping sweetly and murmuring softly in his dreams.

He said, "I've been waiting for you for so, so long. When are you finally coming back?"
