Overworked, salty, lazy younger dog-type seme X aloof older CEO uke who doesn't realize how seductive he is
1.
Bai Qingheng first met Qi Song in the warehouse of his family's logistics company.
During an inspection of the newly built warehouse, a fair-skinned young man glowing like a light drove a forklift past him, followed by a line of clear-eyed senior interns.
The young man spoke calmly: "There's just one thing to remember in the logistics business: as long as the boss pays overtime, it doesn't matter if you work like a horse or an ox. You'd all better get used to being beasts of burden."
Everyone burst out laughing. Someone asked him, "What about you, senior?"
The young man hopped off the forklift and deftly scanned the goods with a PDA. "I already am."
Bai Qingheng: "..."
Well, it wasn't quite that bad.
Then the young man called out to him: "You're a new coworker, right? Join them. That way I don't have to demonstrate twice."
2.
Bai Qingheng saw Qi Song for the second time while catching his boyfriend cheating at a bar.
His boyfriend had been flirting with a pretty, seductive uke with a slim waist. When the uke's boyfriend found out, he chased the man around, swinging a beer bottle.
In the middle of all the chaos, the unflappable Qi Song stood out.
His friend looked frantic. "Why aren't you running!? Do you want to get smashed to death!!"
Qi Song serenely closed his eyes. "If I live, I live. If I die, I die. At least I won't have to drag myself out of bed for work tomorrow."
He had the kind of laid-back attitude that showed no concern for anyone else's life, not even his own.
Bai Qingheng: "..."
And yet, when a beer bottle was about to hit him on the head, Qi Song stepped in to protect him.
Amid the noisy din, Bai Qingheng heard him say, "Coworker, are you okay?"
3.
Qi Song had been single from his freshman year of college all the way through his first year as a doctoral student. After he started working, a friend asked whether there was anyone at work he liked or had a crush on.
Sprawled on the sofa, Qi Song made a sound in his throat. "A crush on a coworker? I'm lucky if I don't want to murder one."
But things changed after Bai Qingheng arrived. Unlike the burly guys in the warehouse, Bai Qingheng smelled nice, had soft palms, and was super nice!
Too bad Bai Qingheng seemed to think of him as nothing more than a coworker, and that jerk of an ex-boyfriend kept harassing him.
Qi Song decided it was time to figure out how to get promoted from coworker to boyfriend.
