Stop Spoiling Me, You'll Make Me Rotten

He Qing's boyfriend is tall, handsome, and rich. He's absolutely boyfriend material.

His boyfriend is perfect in every way, except for one flaw: he's way too fatherly! He spoils He Qing too much!

His boyfriend treats him like a treasure, taking care of everything and making all the decisions for him.

He Qing feels like being spoiled has turned him into a useless person who can't do anything for himself.

But he doesn't want to be useless. He wants to make it on his own.

So He Qing asks his boyfriend to break up, wanting to go out and make something of himself.

Then life immediately gives him a brutal beating.

Waaah!

He kicked away the boyfriend who doted on him most, so now when He Qing feels wronged, all he can do is hide his face and cry.

But he chose this path, and he'll have to see it through, even if he has to crawl.

That's right, it's his damn pride getting in the way.

Qin Zhiyu has always spoiled his younger boyfriend, He Qing.

So when He Qing suddenly asks to break up, he can't understand why.

Later, Qin Zhiyu discovers that He Qing is struggling to make ends meet on his own.

He feels awful for He Qing and wants to take him home by force and look after him properly.

But He Qing keeps avoiding him.

Then one day, He Qing comes running back on his own.

He hands Qin Zhiyu a modest paycheck and says, "Let's get back together. You can spend the first money I ever earned."

Mm, he doesn't have to be useless, and he can earn money to spend on the person he likes. That's great! His pride is completely satisfied!

Qin Zhiyu: "Huh?"

He's starting to understand why he got dumped in the first place.

Qin Zhiyu points to his face and tells He Qing, "Want to get back together? Show me you're sincere first."

He Qing imitates the way Qin Zhiyu used to kiss him and plants a quick kiss on Qin Zhiyu's cheek, then looks up expectantly for praise.

But Qin Zhiyu shakes his head. "That's not enough."

Not enough? Then what would be enough?

He Qing ponders the question. He remembers that Qin Zhiyu used to satisfy him not only materially, but in that other way, too.

So He Qing blushes and stammers, "I understand. I'll do my best from now on... to... satisfy you."

Qin Zhiyu: "???"

It seems he's got the wrong idea about something.

But Qin Zhiyu doesn't know how to explain it, either.

So he can only carry his boyfriend, who has come back to him after being lost, home and slowly explain through his actions.

His boyfriend, carried home: "Wait, I earn money for you now, so why am I still the one on the bottom?"

His pride shatters into pieces in an instant.
