After the Abandoned Puppy Came Back to Find Me

Coming soon: After the Cannon-Fodder Ex-Husband's Heart Dies. Please add it to your favorites! A straight, cool-headed top with a faint air of world-weariness VS a once-obedient, now-unstable, lovesick puppy of a bottom. Fake brothers, older brother and younger brother. Strong top. No breaking up the pairing, switching roles, or feminization. I'll delete comments that do. When someone pinned Zhou Luoshi against a wall beneath the dim lights of a bar, he narrowed his eyes and recognized the familiar face in front of him. Seven years. Seven years ago, broke and desperate, he had sold his adoptive younger brother to the head of a top conglomerate in Country A for a mere two million. Now his adoptive younger brother was back, followed by... a whole row of cold-faced bodyguards in black uniforms. The handsome blond man with blue eyes had bloodshot eyes. In halting Chinese, he said slowly, "You... getting married... not send invitation to your little brother's home?" His blue eyes were full of accusation, anger, and overwhelming hatred. His Chinese has gotten rusty, Zhou Luoshi thought absently. He lowered his eyes and lifted the man's chin with his palm. "Well, look at you. You've gotten tall." The blond man froze. At the familiar gesture Zhou had repeated so many times when he was a child, he instinctively rubbed his cheek against Zhou's palm. Then he came to his senses, jerked away, and roared, "You have no heart!" He said as if he hated him with all his being, "Zhou, I hate you." Zhou Luoshi thought, He still hates me. He still cares. After all this time, he still cares. I heard him say, "I hate you," but when I looked into those blue eyes, I clearly saw, "I still love you." - Fake brothers, older brother top and younger brother bottom, seven-year age gap They are not on the same household register The bottom is a foreigner, but the two of them are brothers "My brother, I will kneel at your feet and kiss the earth. To embrace you is to embrace a god." The top's name comes from the Dao De Jing: "Do not wish to be as delicate as jade, but as steadfast as stone." In other words, one should not be rare and fragile like jade, but tough and resilient like stone. Theme: Love lasts longer than hate
