A short, sweet story. A quirky, tsundere, fussy bottom x a strategic, straightforward, wolfdog top.
Sun Yuran has been adored by his whole family his entire life.
He never thought he would have to take care of or make allowances for anyone, until he woke up at his junior colleague Gu Cheng's place after a work party.
Sun Yuran, who knows himself well: Younger guys are a no-go. We can't both be childish.
To nip any possibility in the bud, he dutifully puts on the persona Gu Cheng hates most: an oily, domineering old man who loves lecturing people. Under the guise of looking out for his junior, he does everything he can to disgust him into leaving.
He brings Gu Cheng breakfast in the morning and watches him eat every bite.
He drives Gu Cheng home after work and lectures him in the car.
He drapes a coat over Gu Cheng when it's cold, holds an umbrella for him when it rains, and occasionally provides housekeeping and meal delivery services.
But he makes the breakfast extra spicy, fills his lectures with twisted nonsense, picks out old-fashioned clothes, tilts the umbrella toward himself, and deliberately makes a mess while tidying up. Everything he does is something Gu Cheng hates most.
A few days later, Gu Cheng still hasn't reacted, but Sun Yuran can't take it anymore.
Young Master Sun: I'm tired. Let's lie flat and let the world end.
He never expected that once Sun Yuran gave up, Gu Cheng would corner him in the stairwell. Warm breath brushed his earlobe as Gu Cheng said in a forceful yet aggrieved voice, "You can't lure me in and then run away, Xiaoyu! No way!"
Sun Yuran, utterly baffled: Who lured anyone in? Who was lured? Is this what luring someone in looks like?
--Next up: The Real Young Master Is Dangerous and Irresistible--
Ding Ci struggled to survive in an urban village until he was eighteen, only to learn that he was the real young master of a wealthy family, abducted and sold there as a child.
When his birth parents came for him, he was in the middle of a one-versus-five alleyway turf war. Like a vicious little leopard baring its teeth, he scared everyone away from approaching.
Only the tall, composed adopted son standing beside his parents calmly walked up to him, took the wooden stick from his hands, and said, "Let's go home."
Ding Ci, returned to his family after being lost, became everyone's precious darling. The whole family did their best to make up for the years of hardship he'd endured, but he still felt out of place.
His years of poverty and harsh living had left their mark on him. He didn't have the outstanding knowledge or intelligence, nor the air of refinement and elegance that came so naturally to the Jiang family.
By comparison, the adopted son, Jiang Yiye, seemed more like a young master of the Jiang family. He could charm anyone in social settings, expertly manage the family's business, and handle every problem with ease. He also made their parents happier.
Ding Ci disliked Jiang Yiye, but Jiang Yiye was the only one in the family who dared to keep him in line.
When Ding Ci wouldn't study, Jiang Yiye made him cram.
When Ding Ci wouldn't come home, Jiang Yiye made him cram.
When Ding Ci got into a fight, Jiang Yiye rushed over to back him up, then made him cram.
When Ding Ci was injured in an accident, Jiang Yiye carefully treated his wounds, then still made him cram.
Ding Ci somehow began to depend on Jiang Yiye. With him by his side, Ding Ci put away his little fangs and showed his soft white belly. He gradually adapted to life in the Jiang family and grew more and more cheerful and lovable.
At last, Ding Ci knocked on the door of Jiang Yiye's study and stammered out his confession: "Bro, is there someone you like? If not, could you..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Yiye lifted him onto his usually immaculate desk. His normally steady voice trembled with excitement and delight. "My little bunny has finally caught on!"
