Lin Yun grew up in an ordinary family. From childhood, he was the hardworking kid everyone else's parents held up as an example. He seemed quiet and steady.
The boldest thing he ever did in college was confess to his crush, the senior student Bian Wanmu.
Back then, Bian Wanmu was born into a wealthy family, served as student council president, ranked at the top of his year, stood 190 centimeters tall, and had a handsome, aristocratic face.
He looked at Lin Yun as if he were a grain of sand on the ground.
"I'm not interested in men, especially not lowborn dreamers."
The spark of love in Lin Yun's heart went out in an instant.
But three years after graduation...
Lin Yun was a low-level worker at a major company. After working late on a rainy night, he ran into Bian Wanmu on his way home.
The man stood motionless in the rain, his expensive suit soaked through and a wound at his temple. He looked at Lin Yun with downcast, bewildered eyes.
"Why did you take so long to come get me, boyfriend?"
It turned out Bian Wanmu had hit his head and lost his memory.
Meanwhile, Lin Yun's soul, ground down to nothing by work, had finally twisted out of shape.
He took Bian Wanmu home and calmly made up a story: "I'm Boss Lin. You're my kept little lover, hidden away at home, where no one can see you. You do my laundry and cook for me every day, make the bed, and wait for me to come home."
The other man was silent for a moment, then actually accepted the arrangement.
Then he asked of his own accord, "Do I only have to make the bed?"
At first, Lin Yun only wanted to mess with Bian Wanmu a little.
The former darling of the heavens tied on an apron for him and washed up to make him a meal. Lin Yun felt that he had finally gotten his revenge.
But the other man not only felt no embarrassment, he got more and more into playing the lover.
First, he handed Lin Yun a bank card with a balance of eight digits.
Then came endless hugs and kisses, and all sorts of ways to get intimate with him.
"I've forgotten which position our Boss Lin baby likes best. Is it like this? Or... like this?"
Lin Yun: ...Weren't you supposed to be straight?
This "sugar daddy arrangement" lasted only three months.
Lin Yun went out of town on a business trip and accidentally walked into the wrong conference room.
There he saw a man seated at the head of the table, cold and dignified, with the bearing of someone firmly in power.
It was the very "little lover" who had clung to him before he left, begging for one more round, and, as it turned out, the chairman of the company where Lin Yun worked.
Lin Yun: "…"
After everyone else had left, Lin Yun was kept in the conference room. Under crushing pressure and in utter despair, he timidly called out, "Boss Bian."
The other man had clearly regained his memories. His eyes held an amused, intrigued glint. "Boss Lin, I've been your secret little lover in bed for so long. When are you going to make me legitimate and give me a title?"
Lin Yun didn't dare answer. His legs nearly gave way in terror, and that very night he went home, packed his bags, submitted his resignation, and fled to his grandmother's home in the countryside.
The next day, while crouching in a field and munching on a melon, he spotted a black Maserati turning onto the rutted dirt road at the entrance to their village.
Lin Yun craned his neck to watch, only to see the familiar man in a suit step out amid billowing dust.
The other man strode through the mud without a care, his eyes more frantic and unsettled than they had been on the rainy night he'd lost his memory. He demanded coldly, "Why don't you want me anymore?"
[Top's POV]
For the first twenty-two years of his life, Bian Wanmu was raised under an elite education that demanded "absolute correctness."
He was like a precisely calibrated watch, never allowed to be off by even half a second.
Until a misunderstanding led him to coldly reject an unfamiliar junior student's confession.
The other boy's eyes were rimmed with red as he glared at Bian Wanmu, then made a threat that wasn't really threatening at all.
After that, he never looked at Bian Wanmu again.
But Bian Wanmu began to search for his face in every crowd.
Almost every night, he dreamed of defying his entire family, with Lin Yun appearing in those beautiful dreams.
Years after graduation, he thought this unrequited love would quietly come to nothing.
But in the freezing rain, his sweet and gentle boyfriend held up an umbrella and took him home.
The dream he'd longed for became reality.
