After Moving in With Forensic Doctor Gu

*Quirky, talented art student x chaste, gentle elite forensic pathologist *Eleven-year age gap, 1v1 *Shi Yu (bottom) x Gu Yan (top) - Shi Yu's parents died in an accident when he was three, and his older brother, Shi Xuan, raised him. Shi Xuan both doted on and strictly disciplined his only younger brother. All he wanted was for Shi Yu to stay in their hometown and grow up safe under his watch. But Shi Yu was flighty and headstrong. After graduating high school, he secretly changed his university preferences and got into a famous media university in another province. He thought he'd finally be free of his brother's supervision. But on the very first day of registration, Gu Yan took him home... - Gu Yan was his brother's college friend and the deputy chief forensic pathologist of the provincial capital's criminal investigation squad. He was highly skilled, handsome, steady, and modest, with a privileged upbringing. He was a perfect dream man in every way. Strangely, he was still single at almost thirty. He'd been on countless blind dates, but none had worked out. He seemed to get along with everyone, yet no one could get close to his heart. That all changed when Shi Yu moved into his home... - [Direct, sunny flirt. Openly flirty, subtly reeling him in x Long-frozen heart. The ice-cold type who melts once pushed to the limit] Shi Yu was young and restless, while Gu Yan was steady and liked peace and quiet. They had completely different personalities and habits. Shi Yu couldn't stand Gu Yan's rules, but his brother had entrusted him to Gu Yan, so he didn't dare disobey. As they spent day after day together, Shi Yu discovered a huge secret: Gu Yan seemed to like men. He wasn't sure, so he asked a friend, who gave him a suggestion: You're a man yourself. Why not try and find out? And so... Shi Yu began testing the waters in every way he could. "Dr. Gu, can you arrange flowers?" Shi Yu leaned over the desk, arching his back and sticking out his bottom as he fussed with a bouquet. Gu Yan lowered his head and read the paper in his hands without even looking up. Shi Yu left, crestfallen. Later, Shi Yu was pinned down on a bed strewn with roses. Petals brushed against his skin, and a sense of danger rose in him. "Gu Yan, what are you doing?" Dr. Gu's voice was low and deep. "Arranging flowers." #The story of how I only wanted to size up the enemy, but ended up giving myself away Please add my upcoming novel next door to your reading list: The Police Officer Lu and Dr. Xue Rekindle Their Lost Love ▌Straightforward and tough. The police academy's golden boy vs. Calm and reserved. A medical prodigy ▌Doctor top | Six-year age gap, older top | Rekindled love | Both are virgins, 1v1, HE At nineteen, Lu Huiyuan leaned over the medical school's wall and whistled at Xue Lianzhi as he passed by. "Hey, senior, want to date? I'm tough and obedient." Back then, he was passionate and forthright, determined to melt the iceberg that was Xue Lianzhi. But an iceberg's heart was the deep sea. Lu Huiyuan wanted a promise, wanted a response, but all Xue Lianzhi offered was silent devotion. On the eve of graduation, Lu Huiyuan tore up their photo. Looking at Xue Lianzhi's utterly calm eyes, his heart turned cold and gray. "You go chase your future, and I'll uphold justice. We're even." - Seven years later, the two reunite in a special task force at the municipal public security bureau, investigating a serious criminal case. At opposite ends of the conference table, Lu Huiyuan wears his police uniform with an air of restrained authority. He's the youngest criminal investigation squad captain in the System. Xue Lianzhi is immaculate in a white shirt, a renowned medical authority in his field. They exchange polite, distant greetings. "Professor Xue, I've heard a lot about you." "Captain Lu, a pleasure." They refuse to yield to each other. "Professor Xue, please analyze this from a professional perspective." "Captain Lu, your operation plan carries significant risks. I don't agree." - Everyone in the bureau thinks the two of them have some kind of problem with each other. They clash at meetings and sit at least three tables apart when they run into each other in the cafeteria. No one notices that Xue Lianzhi is always checking Lu Huiyuan's safety out of the corner of his eye, or that Lu Huiyuan always lets a second of longing show after Xue Lianzhi turns away. When they lose contact during a mission, Xue Lianzhi loses his composure and shouts, "Lu Huiyuan, answer me!" Static crackles through the radio, followed by a breathless, low chuckle. "...Why are you panicking? I'm not dead." In the ink-dark night, two figures entwine. Xue Lianzhi tenderly strokes the new scar on Lu Huiyuan's shoulder blade. His normally calm voice is rough with a scorching rasp. "Back then, you said we were even..." Lu Huiyuan shudders and bites down hard on his shoulder, seven years of undying fire burning in his eyes. The bite hurts, but Xue Lianzhi holds him even tighter. "But my whole life has belonged to you for a long time." His kiss falls, crushing their breath. "Sentence me to life, Captain Lu." . . .
