[Childhood Friends | Secret Crush | Age Gap]
When Shi Yuling was brought back to the Shi family,
they already had an outstanding eldest son who would one day inherit the family business,
and a lively, cheerful adopted son who was doted on by all and had taken his place.
That left Shi Yuling as the one they didn't need,
looked down on, scorned, and bullied. From childhood, he was left alone to endure a living hell.
At last, one day, Shi Yuling came to his senses.
What kind of rotten, godforsaken life was this?
If his life was already a mess, he might as well go all out.
So he started acting crazy, turning the whole family upside down and making sure no one had a moment's peace.
The whole of Beishi was laughing at the Shi family.
The thing people said most was, "Shi Yuling of the Shi family is crude and uncouth. No wonder they refuse to acknowledge him."
But the young master of the most powerful and prestigious Pei family said, "Is that so? I think his personality is quite nice."
One sentence shut everyone up.
No one could have imagined that Pei Yancheng would later raise Shi Yuling himself.
They heard Shi Yuling call him, "Little Uncle."
-
Shi Yuling was mischievous and bad-tempered, and as he grew older, his vicious streak only deepened.
He was hardly ever gentle, not even with Pei Yancheng.
Someone even heard him drunkenly yell, "Pei Yancheng! You're so annoying! What gives you the right to stop me from dating?"
Those who had a grudge against Shi Yuling sneered. Go on, keep it up.
Pei Yancheng was ruthless, cold, and aloof. Sooner or later, he'd get sick of Shi Yuling. Then, with no one to protect him, everyone would see how arrogant he could be.
Until one day, Shi Yuling got himself into a huge mess.
Everyone eagerly awaited the show.
As expected, Pei Yancheng showed up at a nightclub with bodyguards to drag him out.
Under the nightclub's garish lights, the place was cleared out in no time.
The bodyguards hauled Shi Yuling in front of Pei Yancheng, whose face was icy and whose whole presence radiated coldness.
His wild friends clutched their heads and huddled, trembling, in a corner.
They thought, It's over. Shi Yuling's really in trouble this time.
They looked up and saw Shi Yuling's big tears falling on cue. He grabbed the man's arm and immediately burst into tears.
Choking back sobs, he said, "You know I've had a hard life since I was little. I never had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. My dad didn't care about me, and my mom didn't love me. When I came to you, you were the only one who was good to me..."
His wild friends: ...?
Wait, man, you've been pulling this act on us behind our backs every day?
They turned to see the man's expression visibly soften. He began checking whether the bodyguards had hurt Shi Yuling when they grabbed him.
His wild friends: ...?
Man, you're in love with him again just like that?
-
Shi Yuling thought Pei Yancheng would always be his elder, his family, his Little Uncle.
That was until one day they woke up in the same bed after a night of drinking.
