Deep Slumber

Maxed-out strength, sunny yellow-haired boy x beautiful, world-weary young master from a wealthy family with stomach problems / an experimental work where I let loose

Huang Xiaomao's only family, his older sister, suddenly took her own life. Then, by chance, he returned to five years earlier.

At the hospital, Huang Xiaomao lay in bed, staring blankly.

Five years earlier, his sister was still alive. But she deliberately clung to a strange man's arm and spoke in a coy, affected voice on the phone: "What? Young Master Shen didn't come to see you? Oh, I forgot. Young Master Shen came with me to visit my little brother. Sorry, you fell for him for nothing."

It all began with a variety show that Huang Xiaomao joined alongside his sister.

Everyone connected to her appeared on the show.

One was the second young master of the local Shen family, born into wealth and involved in an ambiguous relationship with his sister.

Another was the second young master's unattainable crush, who was both his sister's senior at school and the Shen family's eldest daughter.

The last one... was a psychologist close to his sister.

They were all tied to his sister's life, and in Huang Xiaomao's eyes, every one of them was a suspect.

But then Huang Xiaomao looked at the Second Young Master Shen beside him. He was nobly born, beautiful, and arrogant. Still young, yet plagued with illnesses, and in such a state of mind that it left people speechless.

The Second Young Master Shen stood at the highest point of a building and spread his arms. "It would feel wonderful to jump from here."

Huang Xiaomao stepped beside him. "Jumping wouldn't feel good, and it wouldn't be pretty either. I can go with you and help you find a better way."

The Second Young Master Shen suddenly turned around. His peach-blossom eyes, usually as still as a pond, rippled at last, tugging at the heartstrings.

Huang Xiaomao led him downstairs and wheeled out his rattling, beat-up motorcycle. "Want to go for a ride, young master? I'll take you on my bike. It'll be cool and flashy."

The Second Young Master Shen: "..."

Shen Yanze had spent years chasing his unattainable crush, and had nothing to show for it.

Dazed, he opened his expensive suit jacket and calmly sat on Huang Xiaomao's motorcycle. "If you jostle me around, I'm not paying for the ride."

"You got it."

They rode through the streets and alleys.

Broad shoulders, the roar of the engine in their ears.

In the end, Huang Xiaomao uncovered the truth about his sister and found the real world.

Shen Yanze, meanwhile, couldn't take following Huang Xiaomao on two-mile treks every day anymore, so he simply ordered him to get lost.

"Get lost. Stop coming to see me on that piece of junk that keeps breaking down halfway there."

"Sure thing. I'll get a cooler one with flashing red and blue lights and come pick you up!"

A fearless man finds someone to care about. A man who had no interest in romance finds hope again.

Life is one crazy adventure.

"Mr. Shen, I invite you to keep exploring the world with me."

"Gladly, Mr. Huang."

Warnings: This is not a traditional mystery. It's a short-to-medium-length story, not a long one. The main couple are each other's first love.

The secondary couple is a lesbian couple. They're directly tied to the main plot, so they get about as much page time as the main couple.

There's a mystery tag. I'm not very good at writing mysteries, but listing warnings would count as spoilers, so I'm not adding any other warnings, lol.

Upcoming historical BL farming story, seme protagonist: "Traveling Back to Ancient Times to Farm, Cook, and Spoil My Husband"

Food and farming, younger man x older man. The younger man is 18, outwardly lively and cute but quietly aloof and cold in private, and straight. The older man is 25, outwardly fierce and arrogant but softhearted and kind in private, and naturally gay.

Yan Chengchun unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of a fifteen-year-old boy in ancient times. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw that he was getting married.

His spouse was a foul-faced "old man," to boot.

The "old man" was actually only twenty-five, and was a ge'er.

His family was full of cruel relatives, so they married him off to a poor country boy.

He had skin as smooth as jade and striking beauty, but couldn't do a single chore.

No problem. Yan Chengchun had worked as a chef for over a decade in his previous life. How hard could it be to provide for an older wife?

He could fence off a little plot of land, grow vegetables, and build a stove. Then he'd be able to cook delicious food again!

Crispy pot stew, golden thread pastries, braised meat and rice...

Starting in the countryside and working all the way to the capital, no matter how successful Yan Chengchun became, he never forgot to feed his older wife at home.

A young husband and an older wife, living in perfect happiness!

Jiang Xing knew his family didn't like him, but he never expected them to find him a fifteen-year-old boy for a husband!

A young husband and an older wife? What would people say?

But his little husband, though young, was dependable and a wonderful cook.

He was always coming up with new dishes, and never missed a meal, three times a day.

Looking at his increasingly rounded figure, Jiang Xing felt disgruntled. Had he come here to suffer, or to enjoy himself?

Reader's guide:

1. Ge'er setting, with childbirth.

2. A food-and-farming story. He won't become an official or get involved in political schemes, though there will be a little business-related content.

The sequel to this story: "I Really Am from the Future!"

After a car accident, Huang Xiaomao woke up to find Shen Yanze at just five years old.

The future CEO Shen, who hadn't grown into himself yet, wore expensive clothes but clutched a broken doll. His little face was sullen. "Who are you? Why did you fall from the sky?"

Huang Xiaomao, the big yellow-haired guy who had fallen from the sky, rubbed his nose. He didn't dare tell the child: I fell here from the future, and I'm your (future) husband!

Although Shen Yanze was part of the Shen family, his parents didn't love him, and by the age of five he was already living on his own outside the family home, disliked by everyone.

But he was lucky enough to find a strange uncle who fell from the sky.

Shen Yanze only spent time with this strange uncle twice.

The first time was when he was five. The uncle bathed him, cooked for him, and taught him to read.

The second time was when he was fourteen. The strange uncle, missing for nine years, fell from the sky again. This time, he taught Shen Yanze hand-to-hand combat and how to shoot, allowing him to escape a kidnapping unharmed.

But, Uncle, it's wrong to abandon a kitten for no reason.

Huang Xiaomao had met five-year-old Shen Yanze, a gloomy child. He had also met fourteen-year-old Shen Yanze, who was already the Shen family's next heir at a young age: cold, ruthless, and skilled at manipulating people's hearts.

After nine years apart, the fourteen-year-old boy was bright and beautiful. Using the martial arts Huang Xiaomao had taught him, and the shooting skills Huang Xiaomao had taught him, he single-handedly carried out a massacre that wiped out a whole family. With his victims' blood at the corner of his eye, he calmly pointed his gun at Huang Xiaomao. "You won't abandon me again, will you?"

Huang Xiaomao's heart ached terribly. He'd spent half his life investigating cases, only to end up investigating his own (future) wife. What kind of situation was this?
