My Pretty Little Brother Cries So Much!

Complete! Writing is hard, so please support the official version.

[Innocent, brooding, possessive, well-behaved bottom x cold yet gentle, selectively indulgent top]

Qi Sen gets a message from a friend asking him to look after Jiang Runian.

Jiang Runian is his friend's younger brother and a new student at Nan University, which makes him Qi Sen's junior. On the first day, Qi Sen goes to the airport to pick him up. The young man is pulling a suitcase and wearing a baseball cap. Beneath it is a fair, pretty, well-behaved face.

Jiang Runian is shy, and his eyes light up when he calls him "big brother."

"You've grown a lot." Qi Sen bends down, takes the suitcase, and pinches Jiang Runian's cheek. "Remember when I bought you candy as a kid?"

Jiang Runian takes a piece of candy from his pocket and places it in Qi Sen's palm, much to his surprise.

Qi Sen thinks Jiang Runian is very well-behaved, even more so now that he's grown up. He's just a bit troublesome, with one problem after another, big and small.

When Qi Sen goes out to eat with friends, Jiang Runian calls because he can't get into his dorm without his key and his roommate isn't there. When Qi Sen goes to a neighboring province for the holidays, Jiang Runian says he's homesick but doesn't want to go back, and that he's scared to be alone.

Whenever someone of the opposite sex appears around him, Jiang Runian refuses to let go of Qi Sen's hand. He'll come up with any excuse to say, "Big brother, can I come with you?"

Being new to school and unfamiliar with the environment becomes Jiang Runian's excuse to keep Qi Sen close.

A friend teases Qi Sen, "You really believe him? Isn't this kid just playing you?" Jiang Runian catches the remark, his usually damp-looking eyes lifting to stare straight at Qi Sen.

Qi Sen laughs and ruffles Jiang Runian's soft black hair, speaking gently. "Of course not. Our Xiao Nian is so well-behaved."

As the two leave to buy drinks, Jiang Runian's gaze stays fixed on Qi Sen's back, full of longing and attachment he can no longer hide.

-

Jiang Runian waited a long time for Qi Sen, waiting until everyone around Qi Sen had left.

He never wanted to take his eyes off Qi Sen. So when he realized how many people were around him, the urgency in his heart only became more painful to suppress.

He calls Qi Sen "big brother," but he has no desire to be Qi Sen's little brother. He wants Qi Sen to do all sorts of things to him, things that would make him someone else entirely.

Qi Sen can make him cry, can leave him a complete mess. He often dreams of it, because in those moments, Qi Sen's eyes hold no one but him.

A wild thought takes root in his heart. Under Qi Sen's increasingly frequent attention and tender treatment, Jiang Runian feels he's about to lose control.

-

Qi Sen has been drinking. He knows Jiang Runian brought him back, and he isn't very drunk. Eyes half-lidded, he watches the person in front of him fumble about. Jiang Runian has changed into a beautiful dress.

A silky wig falls to his waist, tied with a sheer ribbon. When he turns around, his face is so beautiful that Qi Sen's breathing slows for a beat.

Jiang Runian takes a step closer, then another, biting his lip. His eyes are moist, and his hands tremble with nerves. The moment his lips touch Qi Sen's, their positions are reversed.

"Whose is this? How did you get so beautiful?" Qi Sen breathes heavily, his words tinged with alcohol. He brushes Jiang Runian's nose, and Jiang Runian pulls him into a tight embrace.

Jiang Runian wraps his arms around Qi Sen's neck and nestles against his chest. "I'm yours, Big Brother. You can do anything you want."

Reading guide:

1. Not a power couple.

2. Both are sexually inexperienced in their relationship with each other. Readers have different definitions of this: the bottom has never dated, while the top has had a few relationships (no kissing or sex). The reason will be explained later. Please skip if this bothers you.

[Same-sex marriage is legal. Marriage first, love afterward. One-sided crush.]

Bo Song never imagined he could run into his unrequited love at a matchmaking date.

Huan Boheng raises an eyebrow and calls him "senior" with a teasing smile. Even someone who considers himself mature, steady, and rarely flustered can't help blushing behind the ears.

"Want to get married on paper?" Bo Song asks. It seems plausible, since Huan Boheng is three years younger and isn't in any hurry at his age.

Huan Boheng pauses, then shakes his head with a playful smile. "A real married couple."

The wedding date is set quickly. On the day, the guests arrive and the venue is lavishly decorated. Bo Song is nervous and on edge, but outside the bridal suite, he hears Huan Boheng talking with a friend.

"I have to get married eventually. It doesn't matter who it is."

The answer is just what Bo Song expected. His lashes tremble, and he turns to leave.

Huan Boheng doesn't like him, he knows. Huan Boheng likes someone else, he knows that too. Since he isn't that person, it hardly matters who he is.

Bo Song gets drunk at the wedding and is carried to their new home. The man's solid body presses down on him, carrying the rich scent of alcohol. Bo Song shudders.

Huan Boheng pauses. In the darkness, the man's low, hoarse voice comes with a soft laugh and warm breath: "Want to do it?"

Only then does Bo Song realize that being a real married couple means more than just the words. It also means a certain kind of intimacy.

-

Huan Boheng has no real reservations about marriage. He just needs someone he doesn't dislike, someone sensible. A well-informed friend tells him they once ran into his college senior on a matchmaking date at a restaurant.

He remembers Bo Song: the refined, soft-spoken, elegant heartthrob from the art department. White shirt, clean and fresh. So he quickly pulls some strings and gets himself set up as Bo Song's match.

The man in his memory hasn't changed much since his youth. Time has only deepened his gentle, refined air. But hearing him say "marriage on paper" is a rare and unexpected surprise.

It doesn't quite fit the personality Huan Boheng imagined. When he gives his answer, the gentle, quiet man before him lowers his head, lashes trembling. A blush spreads behind his ears like rosy clouds.

Bo Song looks beautiful at the wedding.

His black suit gives him an air of elegance and nobility. Every movement is gentle and graceful. Huan Boheng is even more certain that he's a perfect marriage candidate, and that he'll put a stop to the maddening gossip around him.

Carrying the drunk man home, Huan Boheng sees those beautiful eyes open without warning, misty with confusion and fear. It's like the soft paw of a little animal stepping gently on his heart.

Huan Boheng isn't in a hurry. Even though Bo Song is so beautiful right now that it makes his heart skip, Huan Boheng only gives him a brief taste before getting up to leave. But the man beneath him hooks a leg around his.

Bo Song presses his lips against his, his heart pounding like a drum.

"The moment you took the first step toward me, I gave you all of myself without reservation."

"I'll fall with you."
