After Being Taken In, My Rich Brothers Spoiled Me

[My ongoing novel, The Tearful Little Crybaby and the Pain-Free Big Shot After Their Marriage, is looking for readers. Please add it to your collection.]

Lu Shiyu is the apple of the Xiao family's eye.

But Lu Shiyu knows not everyone holds him dear. Xiao Sui is the exception.

Xiao Sui is terribly impatient when tutoring him, and punishes him at the drop of a hat. So Lu Shiyu does his homework in tears. Everyone in the Xiao family knows to stay as far away from the two of them as possible at times like that.

Lu Shiyu once went crying to his second and third brothers to ask them to tutor him. The two brothers immediately ran off, afraid their blood pressure would shoot up.

When Lu Shiyu was out with his second brother, having the time of his life following celebrities, Xiao Sui suddenly appeared and carried him home like a kitten.

When Lu Shiyu secretly went to a bar with his third brother, Xiao Sui appeared the very next moment, expression cold as he dragged him home.

Lu Shiyu thought Xiao Sui simply didn't like him and was always picking on him.

One day, Lu Shiyu gathered his courage to stand up to Xiao Sui. "I'll get my boyfriend to help me get even with you someday."

Xiao Sui: "I'd like to see him try."

That day, Lu Shiyu suddenly had such terrible stomach pain that he could barely stand. He accidentally called Xiao Sui and cried, "Brother, my stomach hurts."

Xiao Sui rushed home at once and took him to the hospital.

Only later did Lu Shiyu learn that Xiao Sui had been in an important meeting at the time. His leaving halfway through cost the company nearly a hundred million.

Lu Shiyu: "Maybe Xiao Sui really is pretty good to me."

One time, after getting drunk, Lu Shiyu discovered something unbelievable: the prim and abstinent Xiao Sui had kissed him.

Lu Shiyu sobered up instantly. Had he been drunk, or had Xiao Sui?

The next day, Lu Shiyu stared at the red marks on his neck, puzzled.

Xiao Sui: "I did that."

Lu Shiyu: "..."

When he was little, Lu Shiyu stood to one side, sniffling as he watched Xiao Sui change the sheets after he wet the bed.

When he grew up, Lu Shiyu stood to one side with red eyes, watching Xiao Sui change the sheets.
