Don't Kick a Man When He's Down

Also known as The Hopelessly Romantic CEO Sets Off the College Entrance Exam Cannon Fodder In his second year of high school, Jiang Yan hopped onto a motorized tricycle. Shao Chen was riding in the back, heading the same way. The bumpy ride made Shao Chen kindly pick up Jiang Yan's phone and hand it back to him. He accidentally tapped a web ad, and an explicit animated image hit both of them right in the eyes. After this embarrassing mishap, Jiang Yan became particularly concerned about keeping up appearances in front of Shao Chen. The driver made conversation by asking about Jiang Yan's grades. He sat up straight and declared with great conviction, "I'm number one in the whole school." A week later, Jiang Yan's name showed up sheepishly on the list of art-school applicants in Shao Chen's hands. -- Shao Chen was handsome and wealthy, tall with long legs, bold yet attentive. Most importantly, he was the chairman of an art institution. Jiang Yan had never seen anything like this and fell for him in no time. But the label "gay" kept tugging at Jiang Yan's reason. In the self-absorbed Shao Chen's eyes: Is he playing hard to get with me? After ten years without a relationship, Shao Chen fell hard, too. But just as Jiang Yan had him worked up and burning with desire, he started crying. Shao Chen tugged at his tie, lit a cigarette, and looked at the man on the sofa. "Jiang Yan, are you a little heartbreaker?" -- Drunk, Jiang Yan cried as he confessed what he was going through. Shao Chen realized that beneath his stubborn exterior, Jiang Yan was a crybaby. Shao Chen, who knew a thing or two about psychology, hit Jiang Yan right in the heart. Jiang Yan couldn't get enough of him, and their love grew unchecked. Deep in love, Jiang Yan studied like his life depended on it. Just as the exam cannon fodder was about to make a comeback, his own mother sent him to the slammer to work a sewing machine. Jiang Yan despaired completely. Through the bars, he said to Shao Chen, "After I laid it all out like that, you still came chasing after me. Don't you have any self-respect? Have some dignity and stop acting so pathetic." -- After Jiang Yan got out of prison, he changed. He became bold and direct, though he still blushed easily. Wearing cat ears on Shao Chen's lap, he slowly turned to the side and looked up at him. "Do I look good?"
