A Sentient Cactus Can Only Be a Husband

Rong Qiu is a little cactus covered all over in white fuzz. He lives on Gu Shilin's enormous desk. His daily routine is to bask in the sun, observe humans, and work hard to take human form. He couldn't be happier. Until someone gave Gu Shilin a pot of clivia. It not only took over his special spot, but also got him tossed into a dark corner. Rong Qiu was so angry... that he could only be angry for a moment. After all, his demonic power was too weak for him to climb back up. Rong Qiu, feeling terribly wronged: Fine. The corner is pretty nice too. Before long, the clivia was dead. That person went on to give Gu Shilin pot after pot of plants, including gladioli, moth orchids, hyacinths, Chinese money plants, and asparagus ferns... Every single one died. Rong Qiu finally realized: Is he a plant killer? Help, QAQ, I can't stay in this home! Later, Rong Qiu, desperately short of water and sunlight, shriveled up all over. Watching Gu Shilin forget all about him, Rong Qiu could stand it no longer. He decided to absorb some of Gu Shilin's yang energy so he would have enough demonic power to run away from home. Who knew that after trying all night, and finally climbing to the place on Gu Shilin with the most abundant yang energy, Gu Shilin would wake up? Feeling guilty as if caught red-handed, Rong Qiu dropped to his knees in an instant. "Sorry to bother you! I'll leave right away!" Leave? That wasn't happening anytime soon! Rong Qiu, having narrowly escaped disaster, clutched his perfectly intact little cactus body. Since Gu Shilin's yang energy worked so well, he would drain him dry before leaving. Otherwise, he'd be letting down his formerly shriveled self! * When Gu Shilin woke up, he could only think that he must be seriously ill. He did his best to stay calm, picked up the little cactus that had fallen onto his bed, carefully planted it back in its pot, gave it a little water, and moved it back onto his desk. A cactus had become a spirit? And wanted to take human form? The CEO, who had disbelieved in ghosts and gods for thirty years, didn't believe it at first. Even though he often found himself in the lounge, or even the bathroom, frowning as he carried the little guy back to his flowerpot, still... But one night, the little guy stayed up past midnight, performed a startling transformation right on his bed, then lay naked on top of him and called him "Master"! Gu Shilin: Great. A cactus spirit can only be my wife. Reader's Guide: 1. Older seme and both are each other's only one. The cactus is 18 after taking human form, and the seme is 30. 2. The blurb is from the uke's perspective, so there's a misunderstanding. The seme did not deliberately let the cactus shrivel up. 3. The plants dying in the story is necessary for the plot and does not mean the author approves of letting plants die. In real life, consult a professional and take good care of your plants. 4. Since he's a cactus, his thought process may be a little... Please bear with him. 5. The writing is a bit amateurish, so please bear with me.

"Uncle, this is my boyfriend." Shi Jin greeted him politely and nervously. "Hello, Uncle." Pei Jizhou looked up at him, desire surging in his deep, dark eyes. Shi Jin felt inexplicably flustered and hurriedly lowered his gaze. He thought they would never cross paths again, but the man kept testing him and making advances. With nowhere left to hide, Shi Jin could only draw a clear line between them. "To me, you're a respected elder, just like A-You's father." Pei Jizhou backed him into a corner, rubbing a thumb over his soft lips, and asked indifferently, "So what?" Shi Jin's face grew hot. He turned away. "Please behave yourself!" Pei Jizhou chuckled and leaned close to his ear. "What are you afraid of? It's not illegal to have an affair with an elder." Later, Pei You made a disastrous business decision, leaving the group saddled with enormous debt and facing bankruptcy. With no other choice, he came to ask for help. "Uncle, open the door. It's me." By the floor-to-ceiling windows, Shi Jin wanted to escape. The man gripped his sweat-dampened waist hard and kissed the back of his neck, which was covered in red marks, then taunted him. "Louder. He can't hear you." His vision shook. Shi Jin cursed him as a pervert through his tears. Pei Jizhou smiled, sounding utterly aggrieved. "Baby, you treat me like a gigolo all day. Isn't it time you gave me a proper title?" Theme: Take care of plants.
