Spring's Drunken Embrace

The main story is complete. [Sharp-tongued, stubborn, beautiful opera performer bottom x narcissistic, cocky, lovesick young master top]

A Kunqu opera singer came to Yinjia Lane in Haicheng. Every Sunday, he sang all evening at the factory, providing a little entertainment for the residents.

The singer's boudoir-role costume made him look as lovely as a flower, his eyes full of feeling as he sang in a soft, sweet voice. His song immediately captured the heart of young master Si Shaoguang, who happened to be passing by on his new bicycle, showing it off.

One glance lasted a lifetime. Love at first sight, growing deeper with every passing moment.

It took Si Shaoguang quite a while to come back to himself. Then he asked the auntie beside him for the young lady's name.

Liu Nian. A name that meant to remember, to cherish.

The next day, Si Shaoguang put on a crisp, dark suit and deliberately strolled around in front of Building Two.

Inside the first-floor apartment, Liu Nian was sitting on a little stool, humming a tune as he ground Chinese herbs. He glanced up and saw Si Shaoguang passing by, his collar crisp and his features handsome.

He slowly put away his little stone grinder and rolled his eyes. "Peacock."

Si Shaoguang heard him from outside. Seeing that he was a man, he gave a fake smile and shot back, "What a sorry sight."

He thought, You little bastard. Once I win your sister over, I'll make your life miserable.

After a few visits, Si Shaoguang still hadn't seen the young lady who played the boudoir role. Instead, he'd already fallen out with the handsome young man inside, who looked about eighty percent like her.

The young man thought he was a show-off who loved flaunting himself, and found him an eyesore.

He thought the young man was putting on an opera act too, a poor imitation of a famous beauty, and that his singing was grating.

He hadn't won the girl over. Instead, he'd become enemies with her younger brother.

In a panic, Si Shaoguang came up with a terrible idea. Before the show started on Sunday, he carried a bouquet of flowers and sneaked straight into the dressing room.

He didn't find the young lady who played the boudoir role. Instead, he saw the young man who was always grinding Chinese herbs standing in front of a mirror. His water sleeves had slipped down to his elbows, revealing an arm so pale it looked almost creamy. He was putting on a hairpiece while glaring at Si Shaoguang in the mirror.

Every expression in his eyes and every shift of his brows brimmed with charm. "You're so noisy."

Si Shaoguang was dazed again. "...Is Liu Nian here?"

The beautiful opera performer turned around, took the ribbon from his mouth with his fingertips, and tied it snugly around his slender waist.

"What do you want with me? I'm Liu Nian."

An Sijia never imagined that after years without contact, he would run into An Le on a dating reality show.

It was during the segment where the contestants chose each other and paired up.

This was a disaster.

An Le was his younger brother from their blended family.

And the look in his eyes clearly said, I don't accept you as my brother.

An Sijia resigned himself to it and turned to walk toward the other contestants.

He went left, and An Le blocked him on the left.

He went right, and An Le moved right too.

An Sijia: ?

An Sijia: Wait, what are you doing?

He took a deep breath, keeping his temper, and leaned closer to An Le, lowering his voice helplessly. "What are you trying to say?"

In front of the cameras, An Le acted completely harmless. But off-camera, he forcibly took his brother's hand and squeezed it hard enough to make his knuckles stand out.

"Guess what I mean."

Halfway through filming the dating show, An Sijia, who had been forced to choose An Le, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

An Le kept saying off-camera that he didn't accept him as his older brother, while kissing and hugging him whenever they were on camera.

Finally, one late night, with the cameras clearly off, An Le was rubbing his waist, neither gently nor roughly, and An Sijia finally snapped.

He got angry for a moment. "Lele, you were the one who said you never wanted to have anything to do with me again."

An Le slowly fell silent and said nothing.

An Sijia paused and looked down at him.

An Le pressed his lips together as tears fell one after another. "...Ge."

An Sijia couldn't bear to see An Le cry. His mind went blank, and he blurted out:

"All right, stop crying. You can have your hug, okay?"

An Le finally looked up. His tears vanished in an instant, but his hands didn't stop moving.

"I really don't want to be with you as a brother."

"But I've spent years imagining us in a different kind of relationship."

*Bonus scene

During an interaction segment one day, the host asked a question:

"Who was the first person you imagined being in love with?"

Before the host had even finished speaking, An Sijia saw An Le's gaze drifting toward him from the corner of his eye.

An Sijia's feelings were suddenly all over the place. Later, he quietly asked An Le, "When was it?"

An Le's honesty was a little frightening. "When you were practicing your basics and I was helping you stretch your legs, I did that."

An Sijia still saw his younger brother through the lens of childhood innocence.

He didn't understand and frowned. "Did what?"

An Le smiled with an innocent look on his face. "Come closer, and I'll tell you."

Afterward, An Sijia was exhausted and furious.

"Couldn't you have just told me with your mouth?"

An Le raised his brows in delight. "So that's what you like. I'll remember that."

An Sijia: ...

Please give me back my innocent, teary-eyed little brother. Thanks.
