Meng Junxing, Why Haven't You Come to Comfort Me Yet?

Ji Li x Meng Junxing. A spoiled, fussy bottom x a taciturn, loyal older top

The third day after breaking up with Meng Junxing.

Ji Li is furious, cursing as he says, "That Meng Junxing sure has guts! He'd better never show his face in front of me again!"

Who doesn't know that Meng Junxing used to grovel at his feet without a shred of dignity?

Ji Li doesn't believe Meng Junxing really won't come apologize!

The fourth month after breaking up with Meng Junxing.

Clutching his phone and fighting back tears, Ji Li asks, "Meng Junxing, why haven't you come to comfort me yet?"

He thinks he might miss him a little, just a little.

Why hasn't Meng Junxing come to comfort him?

Half a year after breaking up with Meng Junxing.

Holding his Best Newcomer award, Ji Li looks at Meng Junxing, who's waiting backstage with a bouquet of flowers, and scoffs. "As if I care. I'm a top-tier star now."

Meng Junxing smiles gently and says softly, "Yes. I hope top-tier star Ji will give me another chance."

The night he breaks up with Ji Li.

Meng Junxing's childhood friend rushes to his place in the middle of the night, looking horrified. "Did you go bankrupt??"

He doesn't even want his boyfriend anymore? How much debt did he rack up after going bankrupt?

Meng Junxing downs the drink in his hand and swears for the first time. "Just leave me the hell alone."

Meng Junxing has never thought Ji Li was difficult.

Or rather, even when Ji Li acts up, Meng Junxing just thinks he's adorable.

When Ji Li covers the villa walls with graffiti, Meng Junxing thinks he's adorable and turns around to buy a house with even bigger walls for Ji Li to decorate whenever the mood strikes. When Ji Li wakes him in the middle of the night to paint his nails, Meng Junxing thinks he's adorable too. In his spare moments at work, he even secretly watches tutorials on how to paint nails.

Meng Junxing has never thought he'd spoiled Ji Li.

But after returning from a seven-day business trip, he finds Ji Li curled up on the sofa, drinking the milk tea Meng Junxing had repeatedly forbidden him to touch. Behind him lies their fifth-anniversary photo, which they had just taken, smashed to pieces on the living room floor.

Ji Li gives him a sidelong, icy look. Before Meng Junxing can say a word, he throws the milk tea at his feet and turns to go upstairs without a word.

The sugar-packed milk tea soaks Meng Junxing's pant leg.

Suddenly, Meng Junxing feels unbearably exhausted.

He should have gone upstairs to apologize and give in, like he always had before. But maybe this is the last straw. This time, he does nothing.

Meng Junxing smokes all night in the dark living room. His cigarette glows and fades until dawn, but Ji Li never comes downstairs or sends him a single message.

At daybreak, he gets up and leaves their home. Before he goes, he sends Ji Li a message.

--I'm leaving for now.

Love isn't indulgence. Spoiling a child is like destroying them.

Only now does Meng Junxing belatedly understand this truth.

But fortunately, they still have plenty of time.

Sweet and fluffy, no groveling-after-the-breakup arc, just two silly boys doting on each other.
