After the Humble Bottom Was Used and Abandoned by His Scumbag Top

Ever since his father cheated and his mother remarried when he was eight, Xu Hang had depended on his seventy-year-old grandmother for everything.

When Xu Hang was eighteen, his grandmother fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. Desperate to pay her medical bills, he remembered the steamy photos he'd accidentally taken a week earlier.

The people in the photos were Lin Xu, a rich second-generation classmate of his, and Yu Shuang, the most hated person in the class next door.

Xu Hang took the photos to Lin Xu with a clear purpose and a reasonable price: enough to cover his grandmother's upcoming surgery.

But the recovery costs that followed were a bottomless pit.

Xu Hang took Yu Shuang's place and became Lin Xu's secret lover. He was more obedient than Yu Shuang, asked for less money, did more for Lin Xu, and didn't throw tantrums every now and then.

Always available at a moment's notice and gone as soon as he was no longer needed, he was the perfect secret lover.

Three years later, his grandmother died, but Xu Hang didn't end the relationship. In fact, after getting into college, Xu Hang had more free time, and his part-time income increased. He no longer needed Lin Xu's money to keep his grandmother alive.

Yet Xu Hang always believed that what he and Lin Xu had was no longer just a physical relationship.

But Lin Xu hadn't contacted him for a whole week.

Xu Hang thought Lin Xu had found someone else behind his back. Furious and unwilling to give up, he searched every place they'd ever gone on a date, but Lin Xu was nowhere to be found. With nowhere else to turn, Xu Hang thought of his biological mother, whom he hadn't contacted in thirteen years. With his mother's help, Xu Hang finally found Lin Xu.

Pale and translucent.

As if he might leave him if Xu Hang looked away for even a moment.

"No. You can't."

Xu Hang frantically threw his arms around him. You were always the one making requests of me. This time, please say yes.

Say yes to staying alive.
