[The main text has been revised. Thank you for supporting the official release. Complete. Both virgins, pseudo-incest, one-on-one, younger top, happy ending, bittersweet. Check out my upcoming works, and leave a comment to urge updates: @ShenShenHanSSH]
When Zhu Qianxing picked He Xianggu up, he was only fifteen.
Fifteen-year-old He Xianggu was thin and frail. He could only scrawl his own name, and he was mute.
The little mute was pitiful and helpless. He stared with pretty, glass-bead eyes as he signed, "Thank you, big brother," like a grubby doll nobody wanted on the shelf.
*
Zhu Qianxing spent three years scraping together every last penny to clean up the grubby doll and make him neat and handsome.
At eighteen, He Xianggu shot up in height and his grades soared, but he still couldn't speak.
The little mute was promising and considerate. He loved gazing at his big brother, keeping him in his sights like a possessive wild wolf.
*
Most teenagers are rebellious, hard to manage, and full of energy. He Xianggu, however, remained obedient and well-behaved. Zhu Qianxing worried that he might get sick from having no way to let off steam. But on the night the little mute turned eighteen, someone climbed into his bed.
The little mute's eyes were deep and greedy, his expression languid with satisfaction. He breathed soundlessly by Zhu Qianxing's ear and signed fluently, "Thank you, big brother."
*
Zhu Qianxing raised his hand to hit him, but the little mute leaned into his palm, wiping away the moisture on his fingers. He silently mouthed, "Sorry, I got big brother dirty."
*
A long-suffering, mother-hen type who has a hard life but still can't bear to hit the poor kid he brought home, the bottom x a little green-tea top who loves to play dog and press himself against his big brother's slapping hand.
Saintly older brother x green-tea younger brother. Pseudo-incest, with my own brand of bittersweet redemption.
[Unhinged blurb]:
Zhu Qianxing has two younger brothers. One is Zhu Qianfan, whose name is on the same household register as his. The other is He Xianggu, whom he picked up.
Zhu Qianfan is naturally unruly, always climbing onto the roof and tearing it apart. Zhu Qianxing has no qualms about smacking him when he needs disciplining.
He Xianggu can't speak, but he's clever and considerate. Zhu Qianxing can't bear to lay a finger on him. He treats him so delicately, he's afraid the boy might melt in his mouth.
But as soon as his little brother turned eighteen, he was the one getting eaten up (?).
[Reader's guide]:
1. The bottom is 25, the top is 18, seven-year age gap. Both are virgins.
2. The top has aphasia. He's truly mute.
3. Same style and series as Broken Apple and Dead Eight Years Later. Either the top or the bottom always has less than fifty cents in his pocket.
4. The bottom has a slight everyone-loves-him quality, and other people pursue him.
5. Xianggu is voiceless, while Qianxing is worn out. (You know what I mean.)
Check out a new idea: After the Sickly Beauty Goes on a Farming Variety Show, He Goes Viral. The entertainment industry's idealized sweetheart x a popular actor. Sweet and satisfying, with a second-chance romance.
Shen Yiqing is a famous sickly man in the entertainment industry.
Three years ago, news broke that he had been diagnosed with a serious illness. The last time he was photographed, he was alone on his way to a hospice, frail and haggard, prompting a wave of pity. After that, he never appeared in another production, and people gradually stopped hearing about him.
When the new season's cast list for The Earth Diary, a farming variety show so grueling that it's been called the entertainment industry's boot camp, was announced, Shen Yiqing's name stood out, causing quite a stir.
[Did he stay away because his face expired and he had to come back for repairs?]
[Did the show pick a sick person to drag everyone down? He's this sick and still here to make money???]
[No sickly ghost who gets winded after two steps should be allowed to farm!!]
The former "idealized sweetheart" had become a laughingstock. Nobody thought Shen Yiqing would make a comeback, but he really did show up on set, only to be the one holding everyone back...
The female guests could carry two bags of seeds, but Shen Yiqing could barely lift one with all his strength.
When thinning the vegetable seedlings, Shen Yiqing worked hard with his head down, but there was no doubt the others left him far behind.
Whenever the temperature changed even slightly, Shen Yiqing was always the first to fall ill.
Even the seedlings he was assigned to care for grew more slowly than everyone else's.
Shen Yiqing was bad at everything but worked hard, and everyone assumed he'd be thoroughly disliked. But at some point, the intimidating entertainment-industry big shots started treating him more and more affectionately.
A trendy young heartthrob treated Shen Yiqing like a trusted big brother and stayed up late sharing his innermost thoughts with him.
A wealthy singer held the priceless guitar he'd bought at auction and sat on the rooftop, humming a song he'd written just for him.
A top female comedian turned into a fiercely protective big sister, calling him "Yiqing" at every turn and inviting him to star in her first film as a director.
Even the actor Jiang Ming began looking at Shen Yiqing differently. A glimpse of his phone screen showed Shen Yiqing's image.
In the photo, Shen Yiqing had his hair tied up in a casual bun. The hand resting on his waist looked very familiar.
Wait, weren't they all supposed to hate him? How did he become everyone's favorite?
And what's with the mysterious smile on the cold actor's face?
The day the phone lock screen of Jiang Ming, who shot to fame playing tough guys, became a trending topic, a heated discussion about their relationship erupted.
[I'm starting to see Shen Yiqing's appeal. Is this what they mean by beauty being in the eye of the beholder?]
[I think... one of them has always been beautiful, and the other has always been tough/shy.]
[I have a bold question. Is Shen Yiqing's body okay? Can my sickly idealized sweetheart handle Actor Jiang? (blushing face) #PoorShenYiqing]
The internet was losing its mind shipping them. Meanwhile, on a deserted field path, Shen Yiqing held up a charred potato, blew the dirt off it, and squinted at Jiang Ming, who had appeared out of nowhere.
Shen Yiqing's voice was as gentle as ever. "Hello, ex-boyfriend."
A faded idealized sweetheart x a popular actor. Older top, one-on-one, size difference, both virgins, second-chance romance, sweet and satisfying, no angst.
Little scene:
Jiang Ming had been in a relationship before he became an award-winning actor.
His lover was peerlessly beautiful, with a slender waist. On every night when pain and desire intertwined, those eyes bright as morning stars would gaze at him and call him "big brother."
For as long as Jiang Ming filmed in Yanjiang, he remained immersed in that tender paradise.
Jiang Ming knew his beauty was in poor health and was determined to search for famous doctors everywhere, but the other man slipped away without a word, then vanished without a trace.
When they met again, one was an accomplished actor known as a "tough guy," while the other was a sickly man who had died countless times in the gossip accounts.
The sickly beauty held a homemade fishing spear and stared at the pond. The sharpness that inadvertently showed in his eyes startled Jiang Ming. Then he turned and greeted the newcomer with a smile: "Great Actor, call me big brother and I'll take care of you!"
Jiang Ming pressed a hand to his brow and replied calmly, "Sure."

It's very interesting. I really like the character design of Qian Xing. It's not like many novels nowadays that portray Shou as less of a man and more like a woman (referring to the character and appearance description). It's been a long time since I've been in Jinjiang to fully order a novel. I didn't have high expectations before reading it. But the introduction attracted me very much. I thought that Shou's character would be the same as other novels of the same type, including the plot. The plot is not bad or anything, but after reading it all the way, it is beyond the scope of what I thought. Even in my mind, it is better than most of the novels I have read this year.
Ending with flowers~~~Mother He's character design is great. No matter in reality or in the abo world, she is a majestic general who defends her own cubs and other people's cubs!! I like it, Xiao Qianxing and Xiao Xianggu🍄🟫 must be together for a long time!
Finally finished chasing! I like it so much!! Shiitake and brother should always be happy^^
Brother and little mushroom are happy in every parallel world 🐰

How do you know if I'm participating? 🥺
I don't know why, but when I see Qianfan as a goshawk, I think of an American harpy eagle 😂
