Go Ahead, Run. I Dare You

The Shen family has had only one child per generation. Their young master, Shen Yu, is beautiful and refined, showered with affection by everyone around him. If he wanted the moon, no one would dare offer him the stars instead. So when he took a fancy to the son of the family driver, of course he stopped at nothing to make the boy his. But life took an unexpected turn. The Shen family fell overnight, Shen Yu's father died in prison, and Shen Yu didn't even dare say goodbye before fleeing in panic. Five years later, Shen Yu attends classes by day and works part-time at a bar by night, while the impoverished boy from back then has become the youngest rising star in A City's business world. When they meet again, the handsome young man in his tailored suit stares at Shen Yu, his dark eyes inscrutable. Shen Yu loses his nerve. He thinks Duan Yao plans to get revenge for the way Shen Yu forced himself on him when they were young, so he packs his bags and runs away in the middle of the night. But before he can even get out of A City, Duan Yao catches him himself and gives him a thorough lesson. The next morning, Duan Yao stands beside the bed, slowly fastening his cufflinks. “Are you going to run again?” Shen Yu's eyes are red-rimmed as he curls up pitifully under the covers. “A-Yao, I was young and foolish back then. I forced you, and I'm sorry. Please just let me go, sob...” Duan Yao laughs in exasperation, gripping his chin as he lays down the law. “Sure. Serve me well for a year, and then we'll see if I'm satisfied.” * Shen Yu is forced to sign an unfair agreement with tears in his eyes, convinced his future is bleak. But it doesn't take long for him to realize the agreement might not be so bad after all. Food and lodging are covered, as are cuddles and bedtime company. His bank card never seems to run out of money, and on top of that, Mr. Duan is handsome, available around the clock, and always ready to make him feel good. He doesn't even have to put on his own socks. Except for the occasional time he's been thoroughly worn out and his legs are too weak to get out of bed. By the time the agreement ends, Shen Yu has grown completely accustomed to and even enjoys Duan Yao taking care of him, both in and out of bed. Duan Yao is satisfied too.

[Coming next: After Catching a Mixed-Race College Guy Online, I Run Away] Jiang Mian is A University's acknowledged law school heartthrob, blessed with a cool, chaste-looking face. But he has a little secret: whenever he feels like it, he posts risqué photos without showing his face on foreign social media. He's not in it for the money. He just enjoys playing the “bad boy.” Recently, a set of photos featuring him wearing a waist chain caught the attention of a mixed-race college guy. The guy has a swoon-worthy voice, beautiful hands, an eight-pack, and a V-line. In every way, he's exactly Jiang Mian's type, and chatting with him is good English practice too. Except for the size of that thing, which looks seriously dangerous... Jiang Mian is secretly relieved that they're only dating online. They can flirt across the Pacific without any real-life consequences, so he goes wild on the internet. [Your fingers are so long. I bet they'd be good for other things.] [Your abs look so firm. I bet they feel amazing.] [Are you strong? Could you pick me up with one arm and pin me against a wall?] [I want to wear a little skirt and sit on your lap while I recite the law. If I get even one article wrong, you can grab me by the waist and punish me...] … Then the mixed-race college guy suggests meeting in person. Jiang Mian instantly loses his nerve, breaks up with him, blocks him, and runs away in the middle of the night, vowing never to be an online flirt again. * At the start of the new semester, a mixed-race hunk transfers into A University's law school and takes the whole campus by storm. Jiang Mian tells himself it must be a coincidence. His former online boyfriend couldn't possibly have crossed an ocean just to come after him, right? But at a law school event, a nearly two-meter-tall exchange student with striking, handsome features stands onstage. He's Chinese-American, switching smoothly between fluent English and Chinese with a cute accent. The venue is packed. Brian spots Jiang Mian in the crowd and smiles at him. Jiang Mian: “...” Is it too late to drop out? Brian moves into Jiang Mian's dorm. Every day, Jiang Mian feels guilty while admiring the gorgeous sight of his roommate wandering around in nothing but athletic shorts after a shower. Then one day, while his roommates are out, Jiang Mian puts on a waist-baring outfit to take photos and gets caught by Brian, who has come back unexpectedly. The tall man pins him behind the dorm room door, his thin lips brushing Jiang Mian's earlobe. His voice is so sexy it makes Jiang Mian's legs go weak. “Bad boy, I've finally caught you.” Jiang Mian can never get away again. Every outrageous thing he said while they were dating online, the man has written down and acted out with him, over and over. Even when Jiang Mian cries himself hoarse begging for mercy, Brian only laughs and grips his waist tightly. “Babe, I don't understand Chinese. Try saying it in English?” A cool, aloof heartthrob in real life and a shameless flirt online, a prickly, lustful bottom x a devoted, scheming mixed-race college student top Theme: Everyone should strive to make the most of their life.
