My Senior Brother Says One Thing but Means Another

Proud, short-tempered beauty top X cool, gentle merfolk bottom

Yun Cang dislikes his junior brother Jiang Chan. No matter what the other man does, he can find fault with it. Besides, the man never smiles and isn't cute, and his presence might steal the affection his sect has for Yun Cang!

A male cultivator gives his junior brother food? Yun Cang throws it away!

A female cultivator gives his junior brother a handkerchief? Yun Cang burns it!

Jiang Chan: "What do you mean by this, Senior Brother?"

Yun Cang: "I won't allow it!"

Jiang Chan doesn't understand. "Won't allow what?"

Yun Cang stammers, "I won't allow you... to be more popular than me!"

Jiang Chan: "?"

After getting drunk, Yun Cang bathes in the lake. As he washes, a huge merfolk suddenly ends up in his arms! The scales on the fish tail feel wonderful to touch, but why is the merfolk crying as he caresses it?

Tears fall down the merfolk's cheeks like beads from a broken string, then truly turn into pearls that patter onto the water.

Yun Cang, muddle-headed, thinks the pearls on the merfolk's face are in the way. So he wraps one arm around the merfolk's waist, picks up the pearls with the other, and puts them back one by one.

Jiang Chan's cheeks turn bright red: "..."

Yun Cang: The placement seems a little off? Never mind, I'll just put them back first.

Jiang Chan collapses into Yun Cang's arms, his whole body numb and sore. Once all the pearls have been put back, Yun Cang nods in satisfaction, hugs him, and sinks to the bottom of the lake to sleep.

The next morning, Yun Cang wakes up: "... Ahhhhh! What have I done?!"

Two beautiful men: the top is a glamorous beauty, the bottom a cool beauty. They're both gorgeous!

A childish romance. They're both immature, and their combined emotional intelligence doesn't even pass.

CP locked. No splitting, reversing, dream substitutes, or control-freak behavior. I won't accept comments splitting up the couple for any reason.
