Your Wife Ran Off

(Manuscript in progress)

In his third year of college, Shen Siwu took a part-time job as a tutor.

His student was a high school sophomore. He'd heard the boy was not only bad at school, but also had a nasty temper and had driven off plenty of tutors.

Shen Siwu didn't mind. The parents were paying well, and he needed the money.

At their first meeting, the boy in his school uniform tossed him a bank card. "There's three times what my dad is paying you on this card. Let me borrow your ID."

Shen Siwu: "What for?"

Zhang Chi said brazenly, "To get a hotel room with a classmate."

Shen Siwu: "..."

A kid that young and already acting like this. There was no saving him.

As they spent more time together, Shen Siwu realized Zhang Chi wasn't as awful as he'd seemed. Every now and then, he even showed a sweet side.

Shen Siwu had been paid to do a job, so he decided to steer Zhang Chi onto the right path.

At a bar, Zhang Chi got a call from Shen Siwu telling him to get home and study.

His rowdy friends teased him. "You really listen to your tutor that much?"

"As if I'd listen to him." Zhang Chi was drunk and spoke without thinking. "I just think he looks pretty good, and want to see what he's like in bed."

"And after you get what you want?"

"Dump him."

But when he pushed open the door, Shen Siwu was standing right outside.

Shen Siwu slapped him without a word, then left without looking back.

They met again years later.

The delinquent boy of the past had gotten into college and grown much more reserved. When he saw Shen Siwu, he obediently greeted him. "Hey, Shen."

Shen Siwu was dressed in a suit, cool and composed. He only glanced at him. "Who's your brother?"

One is filled with regret and pursues him relentlessly.

The other holds a grudge and refuses to budge.

A story about winning back the one you love.

P.S.

1. The bottom is not a virgin; the top is.

2. This is not a teacher-student romance. They get together as adults!
