Kiss Me Harder

Younger, contrastingly capable cool guy x a growing, flirtatious little ray of sunshine

Mu Zhiliao spent four years being emotionally manipulated by a scumbag before fleeing in disgrace after graduating from college.

Little Zhili used to be cheerful and lively, the leader among his childhood friends and the troublemaker in the eyes of the adults. He never expected one relationship to change him so completely that he no longer dared return to Hangcheng and face his family and friends.

By a twist of fate, he ended up in Jingcheng, renting a room short-term in a resettlement complex near the train station, where he met Yan Sen, a cool guy from a family that had received compensation for three generations of demolished homes.

The cool guy is eighteen, about to start his first year at Hang University, with a bright future ahead.

As someone who'd been through it, Mu Zhiliao advised Yan Sen earnestly: "Study hard in college, and whatever you do, don't date!"

The cool guy replied with a straight face, "Would someone who's graduated from college be okay?"

Mu Zhiliao: "..."

At eighteen, Yan Sen is cold on the outside but warm within, and his heart awakens to love during the hot, humid season.

At twenty-two, Mu Zhiliao is naturally tempted too, but he doesn't dare get into a relationship. He only wants to kiss the other guy until they both lose themselves.

The reason? He just can't resist the cool guy's face, his body and abs, or the pure-hearted contrast of how directly he makes his intentions known.

The two kiss until they lose all sense of time, trying out all kinds of places.

They don't date, but they fall for each other, and it all comes to an abrupt end with the close of summer.

When they meet again in Hangcheng, Mu Zhiliao furtively watches the other guy and gets caught.

Only later does he learn that every one of their seemingly chance encounters had been carefully planned.

The two seem to have unlocked a new level of intimacy, spending their nights in passionate embraces.

Little Zhili loves the sounds Yan Sen draws from him as he nibbles at him, his body swaying with the other man's movements, leaving him with a blissful, almost otherworldly satisfaction.

Especially when the cool guy keeps a straight face while kissing him nearly breathless. His cerebral cortex tingles and melts, as if it might explode.

Their love was kissed into being.

Yan Sen made it real, step by step, through what he did.

1. Everyday romance, a sweet little treat.

2. Little Zhili is doted on by everyone, adorable and clever.

3. The bottom is not particularly likable at the beginning due to his psychological struggles, but he grows over time. He has had romantic experiences with others and has been intimate with them.

Theme: Love yourself before you love someone else. You deserve to be loved.
