A Guide to Pretending to Be Asleep

*A sweet romance, guaranteed to be sweet.

When Ji Tingran was sixteen, it was discovered that he had been switched at birth. After spending two brief months with his biological parents, he returned to the Meng family and noticed that his once aloof and distant older brother, Meng Siran, had suddenly started acting strangely.

The person he had chased around since childhood, calling "Big Brother," began entering his room in the middle of the night.

He did nothing, only watching him silently in the dark room.

Perhaps he did something even more outrageous, but Ji Tingran didn't know.

Ji Tingran suspected an absurd truth, but before he could decide what to do, Meng Siran went back to normal, as if waking up that night had just been a dream.

Until the summer vacation of his sophomore year, when Meng Siran appeared in his room again.

Every night, Ji Tingran pretended to be asleep until Meng Siran had watched him long enough and left.

At first, Meng Siran only watched in silence. Then he became more and more brazen, letting his gaze wander from Ji Tingran's hair to his cheeks, until his fingers pried open Ji Tingran's lips.

At last, unable to stand it any longer, Ji Tingran cornered Meng Siran in the study and asked in a low voice, full of embarrassment and anger, "Meng Siran, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Meng Siran glanced at him and calmly took off his glasses. "Come here. Sit down."

The bristling Ji Tingran was pinned against the desk, where they finished the deep kiss Meng Siran had left unfinished the night before.

Meng Siran coveted his unrelated younger brother: delicate and fair, with a pair of beautiful round eyes that made him look like a wary cat whenever he stared at Meng Siran.

Even when he whimpered with Meng Siran's hand holding down his tongue, he was so pitiful that it softened Meng Siran's heart.

It didn't matter if he was feral, clawing and biting, or impossible to tame. Meng Siran had all the patience and time in the world to coax the object of his long-standing desire into his arms.
