[Ruthless, obsessive, top-tier criminal top x highly intelligent, gentle, husbandly bottom who grows younger over time]
1.
Five years later, when Cheng Xi sees Sui Zewei at the airport again, his first reaction is to run.
As far away as possible.
He has no idea that Sui Zewei came specifically to corner him.
He is roughly thrown into Sui Zewei's luxury car. The familiar scent washes over him, and his handsome features flash with guilty anger.
"Sui Zewei, I'm your adoptive father!"
Sui Zewei kneels before Cheng Xi, saying nothing. His callused fingertips brush over Cheng Xi's thin lips, chin, and Adam's apple, savoring the familiar shiver, before slipping beneath his shirt.
Cheng Xi bites down on his lower lip.
Sui Zewei raises his head. His eyes are as cold as a frozen lake, full of composed madness. "You should have known this day would come when you abandoned me."
Just like that, the adopted son Cheng Xi raised for four years personally has him placed under house arrest.
2.
Cheng Xi had long seen Sui Zewei's future: bloodshed, killing, and madness. He would become nothing less than a top-tier criminal.
He never regretted rescuing Sui Zewei from the slave market and becoming his adoptive father.
But he regretted not being strict enough, letting Sui Zewei enter his life and even control his every move.
It caused their relationship to become something else.
On Sui Zewei's twentieth birthday, Cheng Xi left without a word and went into hiding overseas.
Cheng Xi is cursed to grow younger as time passes, until he eventually regresses into a baby.
That is why he refuses to enter any intimate relationship, wanting only to live out his life alone.
But things don't go as he wishes. Five years later, he finally returns to his homeland.
- Little Scene
"My adoptive father. My adoptive father."
"You used to make me stand as punishment, but unlike you, I never got so weak in the knees that I couldn't stand."
"I really liked it when you punished me. When you did, you had no choice but to keep looking at me."
"Look at your expression in the mirror and tell me: do you like standing as punishment?"
Tips:
* The adoptive father has been growing younger from the age of fifty. In other words, when his body is thirty-two, he is actually eighteen.
* Cheng Xi and Sui Zewei are adoptive father and son in name only. In reality, they are the same age.
* Top-tier criminal doesn't mean lawless outlaw. Sui Zewei is extreme and ruthless, but he isn't a villain.
* Coercive romance and mutual salvation.
* Happy ending.
* The story takes place in a fictional modern country.
