That Miaojiang Boy Is So Bewitching!

Ge Shao has been both incredibly unlucky and incredibly lucky lately. So unlucky that his luxury car, worth several million, can break down eight times in a single day, every time in the middle of some remote mountain wilderness. So lucky that he can even find the phone an undercover agent from a rival company dropped just by sitting down to use the toilet.

It was this mix of bad luck and good fortune that led him to receive a human-shaped package from deep in the mountains on his thirtieth birthday. The young man stood in front of the smoking engine, his arched brows and the silver bell at his neck every bit as striking.

“Big brother! I found you!”

Ge “Big Brother” Shao: Hi. Who are you?

After that day, Ge Shao seemed to get even unluckier with the young man clinging to him.

He set an alarm so he could catch an early morning flight, but when he opened his eyes, the sun was already high outside. Then he turned his head and saw the phone on the cabinet, crushed to pieces by brute force. The young man crouched beside the bed, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes shining as if he were asking for praise.

Ge Shao looked at the deep fingerprints pressed into a phone supposedly tough enough to withstand a tank driving over it: “...”

He didn't want to praise him, but he didn't dare not to.

“...Great job.”

Chu Yao's eyes curved into a smile. He was unbelievably good-looking.

Where Ge Shao couldn't see, the Miao youth named Chu Yao stood like a mountain, blocking every hand that sought to steal the man's destiny. The silver bell at the young man's neck made a soft rustling sound, like butterfly wings beating. It was his life-bound Gu worm.

Dream Butterfly, the butterfly from Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly.

Later, Ge Shao thought he must have been struck by a love Gu. Otherwise, how could he find Chu Yao adorable even when he was playing with bugs and snakes? Twelve years older than the young man, he went straight to the legal department in the middle of the night and prepared a dating contract that adhered to the highest standards of gentlemanly conduct in every line.

The next day, he took the contract and bent down to gently kiss the corner of Chu Yao's beautiful eye.

He said, “You like me, so I've agreed.”

The corners of Chu Yao's eyes turned red. Under the man's gaze, overflowing with affection, he nearly burst into tears.

“Big brother! That would be unethical!”

Ge Shao: What are you talking about?
