[Cool, prickly, catlike beauty in poor health × younger, doglike, roguish obsessive]
Other people have relationships where they never break up.
Lin Shu, a psychological neat freak, wants a relationship where they never do it.
He has been sickly since childhood. When his ex cheated on him, thinking his illness was incurable, Lin Shu ended the relationship and decided he would never pursue true love again.
Who would have thought that six months after his breakup, at the age of thirty, he would be pursued by a cute younger guy? The guy has an eight-pack, is sunny and fit, and is exactly Lin Shu's favorite type of younger brother.
After the sporty puppy dog falls for him at first sight and pursues him for months, Lin Shu keeps trying to make him give up. He deliberately tells Wen Jiuli, whose eyes are as innocent as a puppy's, that his tastes are complicated. Wen Jiuli says pitifully, "I don't care. You're the only one I love."
"There are so many pretty ladies in qipaos around you, big brother," the tall, muscular young man mumbles, wrapping his arms around Lin Shu's slender waist.
"They're here to learn tea ceremony. Don't get jealous over everything."
"Then can you wear a qipao for me, big brother? I think... none of them are as pretty as you."
Lin Shu's previous relationship ended in failure, and he doesn't want another one just yet. But the guy is persistent, knows how to pout with that handsome, innocent face, and is a pleasure to look at even when he's doing nothing.
After drinking alone over his troubles, getting drunk, and testing the guy by mistaking him for his ex, Lin Shu finds that he stays perfectly composed. So Lin Shu agrees to be with him.
His boyfriend is five years younger, considerate, and dependable. It's just that...
"Sorry, I don't want to do that right now."
"Okay, then we won't."
Wen Jiuli doesn't even make an excuse. He just says he doesn't want to make love, and Wen Jiuli puts up with that too. Can they really be a couple?
Lin Shu starts to doubt his own appeal.
He keeps wanting to break up, but can't find a reason. His current boyfriend is good in every way. After pursuing him for more than half a year, he never gets angry no matter how unreasonable Lin Shu is, and when Lin Shu deliberately brings up his ex, he just stays silent.
In the end, Lin Shu can't take it anymore and runs away before he can even bring himself to ask for a breakup.
Years later, Lin Shu is living freely and doing quite well for himself.
One night at a club, after someone hits on him, he turns to leave, only to be pinned down by a domineering "puppy" who makes his legs go weak. The man stares at his slender neck, glistening with a thin sheen of sweat, and murmurs, "Where are you going to run this time?"
Wen Jiuli had seen Lin Shu a long time ago.
He was aloof and cold, leaning by the doorway with his half-long black hair as he smoked. The swirling white smoke veiled his exquisite, beautiful features. He was breathtaking. That scene stayed etched in Wen Jiuli's mind, and Lin Shu became his dream lover, teaching him how to get off.
Only, back then, he was still "Sister-in-law."
The top has a slight smoking habit, but can quit.
The bottom has a serious sex addiction, hard to quit.
Long-planned pursuit vs. sensitive and heartless. Both are virgins, one-on-one.
