[This is my next book.]
Gentle, upright, fatherly seme x uke who starts as a little delinquent and later becomes a sweet little darling
Older man, seme is eight years older than uke
Gu Mingyu, a schoolteacher, transmigrates into a book overnight, and has been there since birth.
It is a Mary Sue romance novel he once confiscated from a student. He has transmigrated into the role of a background passerby who gets only one line in the book.
Just like in his previous life, he proceeds through the first twenty-some years of his life according to plan.
Until one day, a distant relative he barely knows asks him to look after a boy.
The boy's name is Xia Qing.
Gu Mingyu remembers that name. In the original book, Xia Qing is an obnoxious villain, like a pesky fly. He drinks, gambles, visits prostitutes, and commits every kind of misdeed. He even goes to prison, harasses the female lead repeatedly, and eventually gets thrown into a psychiatric hospital by the domineering CEO, where he starves to death.
Gu Mingyu has no fondness for delinquents like that, and has no intention of getting involved.
Until the boy crashes his motorcycle into a railing and ends up in the hospital.
Out of basic decency, Gu Mingyu goes to take a look. The boy, like a little monkey, lies in bed with a head wound, cursing up a storm. He has only fifty yuan to his name, and nobody is there to care for him or even ask after him.
And so begins his ill-fated bond with the little monkey.
Over the next six years, under Gu Mingyu's careful (strict) supervision (and discipline), the little monkey transforms from a rowdy delinquent into a respectable-looking flower shop owner.
Gu Mingyu is leaning on the balcony, enjoying the sunshine with his thermos in hand. As he contentedly sips the tea his dear son has brought him, he turns his head...
And sees his dear son standing before him in a suit and tie, wearing a slightly ridiculous bow tie and holding a huge bouquet of red roses. Blushing, he stammers, "I like you."
Gu Mingyu: ?
Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
*
1. The seme is eight years older than the uke, and genuinely raises him as his son at first.
2. The uke really is a delinquent at first, with a ton of bad habits, though he eventually fixes them all.
Theme: To be decided.
