Raised by My Childhood Friend, the Evil God

[An evil god top trying his best to be a mom for his beloved x a workaholic shut-in bottom who believes food is everything]

After three years of unemployment, Lin Yu finally manages to find a job.

The good news is that the boss provides room and board and pays into his social insurance and housing fund.

The bad news is that his neighbor is Xie Shiyu, his most hated nemesis.

They are enemies because Lin Yu and Xie Shiyu grew up together, their personalities clashing like fire and water. And because of their difference in size, Lin Yu has been pinned beneath Xie Shiyu for eighteen years.

After graduating from high school, they went their separate ways. Just when Lin Yu thought he would never see Xie Shiyu again, he never expected to run into him under these circumstances.

Looking at Xie Shiyu's expressionless, corpse-like face, Lin Yu sneered. "Well, look who it is. Long time no see. You're still alive."

Xie Shiyu merely lifted his lashes and pointed at the house behind Lin Yu. "You'd better not live here. It's haunted."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes.

He'd sooner believe a dog than a word Xie Shiyu said.

So he kindly shut the door in his nemesis's face.

That very night, Lin Yu saw a woman in white hanging herself above his head.

Lin Yu: ...

–

A few days later, Lin Yu finally realized that his house really was haunted.

The good news was that he could quit whenever he wanted.

The bad news was that he had only thirty yuan left in his account.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and put up with it.

Just as he was wondering whether he'd survive until his next meal after finishing this one, someone knocked on the door. Lin Yu opened it and saw his nemesis Xie Shiyu's corpse-like face again.

The tall man stood in the doorway, holding a lunchbox. Only then did Lin Yu understand that when the boss said meals were included, it meant his neighbor would bring him food.

Lin Yu declared, "A man can be killed, but not... This is pretty good. I'll have another bowl!"

Since his nemesis had saved his sorry life, Lin Yu made the rare decision to sit down and have a proper chat with Xie Shiyu.

Lin Yu: "What are you doing here?"

Xie Shiyu: "Working."

Lin Yu: "What? So your job is...?"

Xie Shiyu chuckled softly.

"I sleep-test haunted houses."

Lin Yu: ...

What a coincidence. I'm a paranormal livestreamer.

–

After that, Lin Yu finally got used to seeing his nemesis every day and being harassed by all sorts of vengeful ghosts.

Until one day, when Xie Shiyu was late bringing him lunch, Lin Yu did something completely out of character and opened the man's door.

He saw the man with his back to him, countless black tentacles sprouting from behind him.

"He smells so delicious. Can I eat him?"

"Let's lock him up, with those handcuffs we have at home."

"He touched me yesterday!"

Meanwhile, Xie Shiyu was focused on making Lin Yu's lunch.

Lin Yu closed his eyes.

And quietly shut the door.
