A Corrupted Deal

The moment Lin Xiayu saw Li Yanche, he couldn't take his eyes off him. He even declared that if he could be with Li Yanche, he'd gladly pay for the privilege.

Later, after Li Yanche was set up, looked down on by his father, and lost everything, he and Lin Xiayu moved in together.

Lin Xiayu did everything he could, giving all he had to help Li Yanche rise again and reclaim everything he'd lost in grand fashion.

But then he heard Li Yanche's childhood friend ask, "Your dad finally acknowledged you and wants you to come back and take over. You're not going to throw away this opportunity for Lin Xiayu, are you?"

"Of course not." Li Yanche smiled casually. "His birthday is next month. Once that's over, I'll find some halfway decent excuse and break up with him."

That night, Lin Xiayu pushed away Li Yanche, who was holding him tight, and laughed lightly. "This is pointless. Let's break up."

Li Yanche gripped his chin, his eyes cold. "What do you mean?"

"We were only sleeping together. It was just a transaction." Lin Xiayu met Li Yanche's gaze, smiling beautifully. "I'm bored. Let's end it here."

Their relationship had begun easily, and their breakup left no trace, like a ship passing over the water.

After erasing every trace of Li Yanche, Lin Xiayu threw a lively birthday party with his new boyfriend.

But no one expected Li Yanche to show up uninvited.

Pinning Lin Xiayu down, Li Yanche spoke each word with ruthless certainty:

"You think you can get away?"

"Lin Xiayu, remember this: the only person you'll ever make the kind of deal you like with is me."

"It can only be me."
