I Got a Haircut and Missed My Future Wife

Like every domineering CEO with something wrong with him, Gu Liuchu was no exception. He suffered from incurable insomnia and had not slept well even once in three whole years. Under such torment, his personality grew increasingly violent and gloomy. Then one day, he met a male college student at a bar and promptly collapsed into the guy's arms, where he fell asleep. After waking, he had someone investigate and discovered that the college student had been secretly keeping candid photos of him in the notebook he used every day, along with diary entries full of his unrequited love. So it had all been a carefully plotted seduction. The student was deeply in love with him, and the calming incense he wore must have been steeped for three years, prepared for him all along. In that case, they might as well each get what they needed. Gu Liuchu coldly had someone deliver a contract. "I'll pay your mother's medical bills. Your only purpose is to help me fall asleep." "Don't entertain any other ideas." * Ji Chun came from a poor family and worked to pay off debts. Even after starting college, he was still using the old notebook his high school girlfriend had given him. The last few pages had some photos of someone pasted in them. They were of his ex-girlfriend's idol, so he hadn't paid them any mind. His mother had cancer. He was desperate for money. He had even considered selling a kidney. At a time like this, that unreachable, influential figure had actually reached out to help him. Ji Chun was overwhelmed with gratitude. He completed every job with diligence. When Gu Liuchu asked him to quietly hold him while he slept, he treated himself as a body pillow and had absolutely no improper thoughts. * Then one day, Gu Liuchu got a haircut, and Ji Chun walked right past him on the street without recognizing him. Only then did Gu Liuchu gradually realize the truth. The photos in the notebook were actually of his brother, Gu Yizhi, who had been dead for three years. After living together for a year, Ji Chun still hadn't noticed that the man in the photos looked almost exactly like Gu Liuchu. Ji Chun had severe face blindness. When Gu Liuchu learned the truth, tears streamed down his face. He pinned Ji Chun against the kitchen counter and angrily bit his earlobe. "If you can't recognize my face, you should at least recognize what's below it." Reader's Guide * A silly romance. Gu Liuchu is the gong, and Ji Chun is the shou (though he thinks he's the gong). * I wanted to write the gong sprawled on the floor crying, so I wrapped it up in a plate of dumplings =3=. * I'm not sure what might be triggering, so please bear with me. I have two upcoming books. Please add them to your collections, please! One of them is My Childhood Friend Is a Corpse. At nine, Chi Xi had two little biscuits. He ignored the longing look in young master Yin Lingye's eyes and placed them both in the housekeeper's son Qi Xiuyuan's palm. At thirteen, Chi Xi received a golden butterfly that young master Yin Lingye had gone to great lengths to find overseas. He turned around and gave it to Qi Xiuyuan. At seventeen, Chi Xi skipped the birthday fireworks Yin Lingye had arranged for him and instead kissed Qi Xiuyuan passionately in a tiny rental apartment. At twenty-three, Chi Xi finally won Qi Xiuyuan's heart and prepared to marry him. Then he died on that rainy night. Blood stained everything. Qi Xiuyuan's old flame had been driving. Qi Xiuyuan covered up the evidence. At twenty-four, Chi Xi's soul saw Yin Lingye sentenced to life in prison for flushing the dismembered remains of two people down the sewer. Chi Xi closed his eyes. His childhood friend had given him an everlasting winter, raging winds, and silent, endless nights, yet in the end, Chi Xi had ruined his life. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn as a boy. Chi Xi thought he still had time to make up for many regrets. However, in this life, Yin Lingye had just died in an accident, becoming a beautiful, cold corpse. The Yin family wielded immense power. They did everything they could to keep the corpse from decaying, while secretly seeking a ghost marriage for Yin Lingye. The young Chi Xi stepped through the Yin family's door, tilted his head slightly, and raised his knife. "It can only be me." * Yin Lingye had also been reborn as a boy, but something had gone wrong. He wasn't actually dead. His family had called in a Taoist priest, and he was in a state of suspended animation, unable to wake up. He had no hopes for this life. It might even be worse: he couldn't see Chi Xi, couldn't protect him, and couldn't stop him from heading toward that filthy, muddy rainy night. Yet on this day, Chi Xi climbed onto his bed, pried open his cold lips, and covered every corner of his eyes and brow with kisses. Yin Lingye was overwhelmed by the unexpected affection, and bloody tears welled from the corners of his eyes. Chi Xi held him while playing games, held him while bathing, held him as they traveled around the world, and even tried to take him to school. His little monster seemed to have grown a heart. For him. The outside world: Chi Xi is so creepy. Yin Lingye: We're in love. Theme: No matter what hardships you face, you should keep striving forward.
