The Pitiful Little Thing He Protects Is Sweet on the Outside, Dark on the Inside

Cold on the outside, soft on the inside seme x seemingly pitiful, sweet-and-sour uke

School life in the beginning, a sweet story of mutual salvation, then a transition to the workplace.

The characters and blurb may change as the story progresses.

Lin Lin is an unconventional bad student who does as he pleases and occasionally rebels. He left home in middle school and has been fending for himself ever since, sometimes livestreaming and teaching delinquents a lesson.

He was all alone, with no one getting close to him.

But in his second year of high school, he happened to pick up a bullied “poor little thing” by the roadside, and from then on, the kid wouldn't leave him alone.

Lin Lin looked at the poor little thing clutching his hand, eyes red as he called him “Ge.” He reminded Lin Lin of the little puppy that used to rub against his leg at his maternal grandfather's house when he was a child.

And so, the cold and unapproachable Lin Lin, as everyone saw him, was completely wrapped around the kid's little finger.

Everyone at No. 2 High School knew that Lin Lin had recently acquired a little sidekick.

When Lin Lin was around, the kid trotted along behind him with an innocent, harmless smile;

As soon as Lin Lin left, the little sidekick's gaze would turn cold, and his expressionless face sent away anyone who tried to approach.

When Lin Lin took the poor little thing gaming, the kid put on a pitiful act: “He hit me...”

When they ran into a fight, Lin Lin was just about to tell the poor little thing to leave when he saw him move with incredible speed, every strike ruthless, knocking the entire opposing group to the ground by himself.

Only then did Lin Lin realize something was off.

Was this a little puppy?

He was clearly a little wolfdog.

*

Later, his little wolfdog grew up.

Lin Lin looked at the handsome man before him, six feet tall, with a deep voice: ?

As he gazed at the face he'd thought about day and night, the man's stern features softened. He wrapped an arm around Lin Lin's waist and refused to let go.

The man bent down and rubbed his head against Lin Lin's shoulder.

“Ge, I missed you so much...”

Lin Lin felt the warm breath by his ear and heard that deep, magnetic voice that struck straight to his heart. His ears gradually flushed, a tingling sensation spreading through him as his stiff waist suddenly went limp.

Please decide for yourself if this is a dealbreaker:

1. Seme-focused, mutual pampering, 1v1, both virgins. Their dynamic will change somewhat later on, but! The seme stays the seme, even when he's being pursued! The uke stays the uke, even when he's the pursuer! Later, the uke will aggressively flirt with the seme until his face turns red. If that's not your thing, no need to tell me.

2. At first, the uke is a seemingly pitiful, sweet-and-sour type. Later, he's a super assertive, husband-spoiling fanatic, with a touch of yandere (not really) and stalker (for real) tendencies. These traits are only directed at the seme. It'll be a sweet little story under 200,000 words, with no angst.

3. The first half is set at school, the second half at work. The uke fell for the seme at first sight, which is why he latched onto him. Since he developed late, he was only 168 cm at first, and was so good at pretending that the seme casually picked him up as a “poor little thing.” But they're the same age, and after being assigned to the same class, they still sit together. Later, he grows to 182 cm, two centimeters taller than the seme. A shorter seme is still a seme! Two centimeters shorter still counts as a shorter seme!

4. I'm a new author, writing out of love. I don't mind a quiet readership, and I swear I'll finish the story.

5. Since you've read this far, how about giving it a favorite? #Blinks expectantly
