The most overbearing thing he has ever done is smear a cake he made himself across his boyfriend's face after catching him cheating with a woman. His eyes red, he called him, “Disgusting.” Two years of his life had gone down the drain. After the breakup, Yu Bai crouched outside his home and quietly cried catlike tears. A voice that sounded like trouble suddenly came from above him. “Who are you?” Yu Bai didn't react. “What are you doing outside my place? Get lost, or I'll call the police.” “One.” “Two.” Only then did Yu Bai slowly lift his head, revealing a little face covered in snot and tears. The man who sounded like trouble didn't get to say his final “three.” He froze. “Little dummy?” Yu Bai blinked through his tears, confused. “May I ask who you are?” Lu Duan: “.” Covered in tears and snot, and still so polite. - All of Lu Duan's friends know he had a childhood sweetheart, but the two of them hadn't seen each other for years. Then they ran into each other a few days ago, and Young Master Lu took him straight home. He said he'd found the kid outside his door. The little kitten was so jumpy that one harsh word made him cry. He was a total crybaby, and such a pain. His friends also know Lu Duan has a bad temper. Whenever he counts to “123,” someone's in for it, and not even years at the police academy could beat the violence and rebellious streak out of him. His friends figure the crybaby's going to get bullied until there's nothing left of him if he lives with Lu Duan. Then one day at a gathering, a friend sees Lu Duan pin Yu Bai against a chair, brimming with hostility as he demands, “You're arguing with me over some lousy ex?” “And now you're crying?” “Stop crying, you hear me?” Lu Duan sets his jaw and says coldly, “One.” Yu Bai lets out a sob and looks at him, holding back a huge tear, eyes red and pitiful. “Two... Damn, I can't with you.” Lu Duan grumbles, but fluidly drops to one knee in front of Yu Bai, bending low to wipe his tears. “I'm sorry, Your Highness. Don't cry, okay?” His friend, watching from the sidelines, is dumbfounded. What the hell? That's it? He got on his knees!? “Can't help it.” Lu Duan holds the soft, cuddly Yu Bai in his arms, looking secretly pleased. “My baby's precious. I have to comfort him.” #Lu: I'm going to count to three and end up on my knees, coaxing my wife. Duan's thoughts: It's a pain, but this is my wife. One little cuddle and I get a kiss. That's a damn good deal. You philistines wouldn't understand.# #Lu Duan: What do you mean, count to three? Don't joke around. I can't even get to one.# Changing partners / everyday life / childhood sweethearts / reunion after years apart / devoted husband [Content warnings] *One-on-one couple, both chaste.
