[Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted elite cool guy bottom x ruthless, hard-hearted, slightly unhinged younger top]
Younger top, with a touch of a coming-of-age element.
Chu Yu has always been impatient with people, yet somehow ends up raising someone else's kid.
Seventeen-year-old Xie Xun is a handful.
Chu Yu hires someone to keep him under close surveillance, keeping him firmly under control.
When Xie Xun refuses to hand in his homework, Chu Yu grabs him by the nape and threatens him.
When Xie Xun gets into fights, Chu Yu ties up his hands and feet and throws him in a room.
When Xie Xun skips class to go online, Chu Yu catches him and locks him at home.
In the end, Chu Yu runs out of patience and sends Xie Xun abroad to study after he graduates.
That night, Xie Xun, who should have landed overseas, shows up at the door drenched from the rain, looking as pitiful as he did the first time they met.
Chu Yu lets him in and coldly makes ginger soup.
"It's a miracle you haven't driven me to my grave."
"You've been hard to teach all these years."
Xie Xun looks straight at him and lowers his head first, for the first time. "I'm sorry."
Chu Yu eventually falls silent and, as usual, reaches out to check Xie Xun's temperature.
The next second, his hand is pinned firmly in place.
When he opens his eyes again, their roles have reversed.
Now Chu Yu is the one with his feet bound, locked in a room.
Tears glisten at the corners of Chu Yu's eyes as he's forced to learn how to please someone.
But the other man presses down on the back of his head and shakes his head, dissatisfied. Imitating Chu Yu's tone, he lets out a soft sigh. "You are hard to teach, big brother."
Note:
1. The top and bottom are not related by blood in any way. They only confirm their relationship after they are both adults.
2. There is a seven-year age gap between them.
3. They're both a little unhinged together, but one is willing to fight and the other is willing to take it. Approved by their author.
