Those Who Love Worry Too Much

Rehabilitation therapist bottom x disabled CEO top "Qiao Lan, have you heard? Shen Huaixu won another award!" Qiao Lan paused with a snack halfway to his mouth, then looked toward the cheerful boy surrounded by people. This was the second year Qiao Lan had secretly loved Shen Huaixu. "Qiao Lan, are you still in touch with Shen Huaixu? I heard he... died?" Kneeling in the dim room, Qiao Lan clutched Shen Huaixu's clothes and stared blankly as his phone lit up, then went dark again. This was the tenth year Qiao Lan had loved Shen Huaixu. He had thought he would spend the rest of his life missing Shen Huaixu. That was until someone introduced him to a villa halfway up a mountain, where he was hired to help the disabled CEO living there with his rehabilitation. But he never imagined he would see Shen Huaixu in that completely sealed-off, pitch-black room. The person who introduced him described the man as "light-sensitive, sinister, and more dead than alive." But looking at his lost-and-found love, even hearing him mutter "Get out" without lifting his head made Qiao Lan want to cry. That night, half-asleep, Qiao Lan felt someone holding his hand, weeping in a choked voice. Shen Huaixu said, "Please, stay away from me."

Check it out if you're interested ~ -- Next up: the upcoming novel My Hearing-Impaired Top Suddenly Hears the Erotic Story His Wife Wrote. Please add it to your collection, wifey! -- hot nerd x walking sunshine Lin Tiao'an is an ordinary international student who was forced to start an internship as soon as the semester began. His only daily pleasure is slacking off to write stories about wealthy heirs. Who could have guessed he'd see his smiling tiger of a supervisor turn around and suck up to another intern in the break room? Lin Tiao'an knows that intern. Chen Xi is famous in the Chinese community. A bona fide rich Shanghai heir, with enough money to fill the Huangpu River. Despite all that, Chen Xi is steady and restrained, supposedly untouched by love. He's on a fully funded PhD program, and rumor has it he still has his first love. Even the juiciest gossip steers clear of him. Unfortunately, nobody's perfect. He was born hearing-impaired, and there's no cure. Originally, an inconspicuous nobody like Lin Tiao'an could only look up to someone born with every advantage. Until that day, when he became completely consumed by envy of the rich!

And he realized in despair that even if he wrote the story himself, he couldn't make Chen Xi the bottom. Wait, the hardworking, heads-down type could be pretty good too! -- Chen Xi had never gone a day without his hearing aids since birth. Even so, the sounds around him were always vague, until, during a meeting, he suddenly heard an exceptionally clear, bright male voice: [...Ben went limp beneath Chen Xi, dazed, and begged incoherently, "Chen, no more. I can't take it." Chen Xi's eyes reddened. He didn't want to hear him refuse, so he tore off his hearing aids in one quick motion. For a moment, the only thing in the room was...] For the first time, Chen Xi's usually expressionless face cracked, bit by bit. He looked at Ben's shiny bald head and bulging belly. Then he looked at Lin Tiao'an nearby, head bowed and grinning lewdly. Very good, Lin Tiao'an. Very good. ...This pig still hasn't recognized him. Theme: Love can overcome any hardship.
