Xu Xian has been a corporate wage slave for ages. One day, he finally works up the courage to sign up for a gay dating app, sets his location to a nearby university, and eagerly prepares to snag a strong, beefy young pup.
A college guy wearing bunny ears messages him: “Big bro, wanna trade pics? [spin] [jump] [fidgets nervously]”
So cute! Totally his type!
Xu Xian gets excited and adjusts the lighting. Face down on his pillow, he snaps a photo showing half his face. In the dim yellow light, his deliberately tugged-down sweater reveals a smooth shoulder, and a tiny red mole at the tip of his Adam's apple looks just like a hickey.
The moment he sends the photo, it shows as read, but no reply comes.
Xu Xian bites his lip and cautiously asks, “Not what you like?”
The other guy replies coldly, “We know each other. Not interested.”
Xu Xian is horrified. He takes ten days of annual leave and doesn't dare leave the house. From his ancestors eighteen generations back to familiar faces in his social media feed, he asks everyone he can whether they know any students from University A.
On the seventh day of his leave, someone from HR calls to hurry him back. “Xiao Xu, you're now General Manager Lu's assistant. He wants you back at work immediately.”
General Manager Lu, the company president, is renowned as an ice mountain that never melts.
Later on, Xu Xian rubs his aching waist and curses, “I wanted a cute young pup, not an old guy!”
General Manager Lu takes a sip of tea and leaves with a frosty expression.
Fine, go! And don't come back! Xu Xian angrily hurls a pillow at him.
But then General Manager Lu comes back wearing a bunny hat, its long ears flopping up and down, in stark contrast with his deadpan, old-school bureaucrat look. “My nephew left this behind before going to Africa. Is this cute enough for you?”
Fatherly, old-fashioned president seme × cute, oblivious uke who likes to fish for attention. Both are each other's first.
