The Fox's Eyes

[Frank, beautiful, and brilliant makeup artist bottom x ill-tempered beauty model top]

From as far back as Fang Xunsheng could remember, people around him had always ostracized him because he had the face of a seductive beauty.

The gossipy neighbors talked behind his mother’s back, she who had raised him alone, and vented the darkest, vilest parts of human nature, calling the two of them born fox spirits who knew how to seduce people.

Amid the rejection and insults, Fang Xunsheng spent each day like a ghost forbidden from the light, huddled in a shadowy corner of his room and watching the sunlight outside, as if it could never reach him.

Until one sunny day, a boy walked past his window.

Like any child, the boy stopped to stare at him, unable to resist his curiosity.

But unlike the other children, after that brief look, he didn’t run away. He raised a small hand and tapped twice on Fang Xunsheng’s window, then spoke politely, with a child’s innocence: “Hi, I’m your new neighbor. My name is Hualu. My parents are busy moving, so they told me to play by myself for a while. Can I play with you?”

In the second half of that year, Fang Xunsheng began going to school with Hualu.

Hualu was nothing like him. He had round, clear eyes like glass marbles. When he smiled in the sunlight, his eyes curved and dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth. Everyone liked him.

On the first day of school, Fang Xunsheng heard someone whisper to Hualu, “Don’t play with him. My parents said he’s a fox in human form who’ll bring people to ruin.”

Hualu spotted Fang Xunsheng listening nearby and looked straight at him.

The moment their eyes met, Fang Xunsheng instinctively raised a hand to cover the fox eyes so many people had cursed and condemned.

He fled with his eyes covered, like a frightened hedgehog, and urgently retreated to the shadowy corner of the room, the only place in the world that could contain him.

He thought he would return to the life he’d always known.

Alone, hidden from the sun.

But that night, Hualu came to his room with a square little box in his hand. He looked at Fang Xunsheng and said earnestly, “A Xun, your eyes are the prettiest I’ve ever seen. But if you don’t like them, my mom says we can hide them for a while.”

As he spoke, he opened the box. Following what his mother had taught him at home, he gently dabbed powder with his fingertip and touched it to the corner of Fang Xunsheng’s eye. “We can hide them until the day you start liking your eyes, okay? We’ll hide them during the day, then when we get home at night, you can let me be the only one who sees them.”

He used powder to conceal the alluring look in Fang Xunsheng’s eyes. With his unique tenderness, he gave Fang Xunsheng a peaceful, happy childhood like any other child’s.

That childhood ended when Fang Xunsheng was thirteen.

Ten years passed.

A model born to be a star took the modeling world by storm.

His proportions were impeccable, and his captivating face was a gift from nature. The beauty lowered his eyes and curled his lips, radiating such a chill that even snow on a branch would melt.

Everyone in the industry knew this pampered young man had one major taboo: he wouldn’t let anyone touch his eyes.

His face seemed sculpted by the Creator with no need for makeup, and no makeup artist dared to cross that line.

Until one day, a makeup artist who had returned from studying abroad dabbed some powder onto his fingertip and lightly touched the corner of his eye.

In an instant, the enormous dressing room fell silent. Everyone held their breath, trembling as they prepared to face his overwhelming fury.

But after a long silence, the ill-tempered man simply closed his eyes obediently and placed himself entirely in the other’s hands.

Hualu is the bottom; Fang Xunsheng is the top.

Both are each other’s only partners, sweet romance, reunited after a long separation. They were apart for ten years; the main story begins after their reunion.
