The Sickly Beauty Who Played the Hook Was Hooked Instead

Before his friend got into trouble, Xi Zongying promised to look after his friend's helpless, unsupported nephew:

that beautiful, fragile young man.

"Uncle, will I cause trouble for you if I stay here? Maybe I should leave?"

On the soft bed, Huai Yue curled up into a damp ball with his pale legs wrapped around himself. He looked up helplessly at the man in front of him, who wore gold-rimmed glasses. His body was soaked by the rain and trembled slightly, his face flushed with a sickly red.

Xi Zongying bent down and wrapped him in a warm blanket. His pleasant, deep voice had a soothing quality. "Don't be afraid. I'll help you sort out all your troubles."

Huai Yue moved into Xi Zongying's villa, and seemed especially dependent on the man, who was eight years older than him.

"Uncle Zongying, the thunder is so loud outside. I can't sleep."

During a rainstorm, Huai Yue would run to Xi Zongying's room on tiptoe, his long legs showing faintly beneath his shirt. He tugged at the hem of his shirt and pleaded softly, "Can I sleep here?"

"Uncle, it hurts so much. I don't want surgery..."

At the hospital, Huai Yue leaned pale and weak against the man's chest. His eyes were rimmed with watery red, and his gaze held a heartbreaking fragility. "Can you take me away?"

Huai Yue thought no one could ignore his attempts to seduce them, but Xi Zongying was the exception.

Every part of Xi Zongying perfectly matched Huai Yue's tastes.

Yet Xi Zongying seemed to see himself as nothing more than an "uncle."

Huai Yue slowly curled his lips into a smile. He'd found something interesting to do: make this uncle fall in love with him.

Before bringing Huai Yue home, Xi Zongying had thoroughly investigated the beautiful eighteen-year-old.

Countless men lusted after Huai Yue, but he was only attracted to those who didn't love him.

Once he got what he wanted, Huai Yue stopped cherishing it.

He couldn't be bothered to spare even a thought for anyone who took the initiative to confess to him.

If you wanted to keep someone like that by your side, it was best to appear as the prey.

And as it happened, Xi Zongying was an expert at pretending.

They were made for each other.
