The Office Drone Is a Delicate Little Sweetheart

Lin Qiuci was a 996 office drone. One day, he woke up to find he'd transmigrated into a book as a cannon-fodder male character with the same name. He was good-looking, but had a nasty personality that made both cats and dogs despise him. On top of that, he had a troublesome special constitution.

Worst of all, Lin Qiuci would soon be fought over and toyed with by various factions after his family fell into ruin, ending up in a miserable state.

For the sake of his own life, Lin Qiuci set his sights on a homophobic CEO. When he learned that the other man needed a decoy to fend off rumors, Lin Qiuci said: "I recommend myself! Absolutely, I volunteer! It's just a job. Nothing to be ashamed of."

Lin Qiuci rolled up his sleeves to cook. His slender fingers got burned by accident, leaving red marks, and tears welled in his eyes.

The CEO held his hand and frowned. "You're so clumsy!"

Lin Qiuci was adjusting the water temperature when he fell into the bathtub, soaking wet, his eyes misty.

The CEO wrapped an arm tightly around his waist. "Don't try to throw yourself at me!"

Lin Qiuci supported the drunk CEO and struggled to undo his tie and shirt, the corners of his eyes reddening.

The CEO opened his bleary eyes, his breathing suddenly turning heavy. "You little gay boy, have you been coveting my body for a long time?"

At last, their contract expired. Lin Qiuci had saved enough money, packed his bags, and waved goodbye with both hands, ready to run.

But he was cornered by the bed. The usually cool and self-possessed CEO lightly pressed a finger to the reddened corner of his eye and said ominously, "If you leave, you won't be able to come back."

Lin Qiuci: "Is that so? What a great deal!"

Later.

The CEO knelt by the bed, kissed Lin Qiuci's slender, pink-tipped fingers from below, and murmured in a low, hoarse voice, "Come back, please."
