How Did My Sweet Boy Suddenly Turn into a Tea-Sipping Green Tea?

Original Title: What Should I Do About My Nephew Always Trying to Climb into My Bed? [Younger Love Interest Raised by Older One / Pseudo Uncle and Nephew] Easy-to-placate, green-tea, firecracker-tempered top x gentle, nurturing bottom Chai Shao never expected that, barely in his twenties and having never even dated, he would end up raising someone else's child. The boy was named Lu Hui, and he was his master's son. Lu Hui had a rebellious face and a firecracker temper to match. Though he was a little short-tempered, his one redeeming quality was that he was direct. Every joy and sorrow showed plainly on his face. Chai Shao thought that made him pretty easy to raise. Even when Lu Hui occasionally went out of his way to cause trouble, Chai Shao didn't mind and was always patient with him. That was until Chai Shao accidentally discovered that Lu Hui seemed to like men. Chai Shao: ...What should I do if I've turned someone else's kid gay? Chai Shao was deeply shocked. Chai Shao couldn't understand it. Chai Shao couldn't accept it. He tried to talk to Lu Hui, hoping to find out who the guy was. Lu Hui said nothing. He just stared at him. For the first time, Chai Shao couldn't read his expression. By the time Lu Hui left for university, Chai Shao still hadn't figured out who it was. * Lu Hui left with a heart full of love and resentment that Chai Shao knew nothing about. He knew his feelings were wrong and spent four years trying to let go. He never went back even once, but only fell deeper. So, after graduating, he made up his mind to return. He wanted Chai Shao, and only Chai Shao. The only problem was that his little uncle seemed to be homophobic. This was going to be tricky... * Chai Shao felt that Lu Hui had changed a lot since coming back. He was obedient, considerate, and clingy. Once, Lu Hui brought him lunch at work, and Chai Shao proudly introduced him to a new colleague: "This is my little nephew." He didn't notice Lu Hui's expression freeze for a moment. Just his nephew? That wouldn't do. Lu Hui's hand landed on Chai Shao's waist as if by accident. Chai Shao didn't think much of it, but his colleague looked at him with a sympathy he couldn't understand. Chai Shao: ? Back at home, Lu Hui played the victim and acted pitiful until Chai Shao let him sleep in his room. After sharing a bed for several days, Chai Shao suddenly realized that Lu Hui was getting more and more brazen about coming and going from his room. Wait, wasn't this his room? Chai Shao decided this couldn't go on. It felt a little strange to keep sleeping like this, so even if Lu Hui protested, he would make him go back to his own room! At that, Lu Hui neither argued nor made a fuss. He just asked pitifully, "Little Uncle, am I bothering you? I'm sorry." Chai Shao was used to Lu Hui losing his temper in such a straightforward way. He had never seen him use this kind of tactic before, and his conscience started to gnaw at him! Chai Shao: ...Forget it. Lights out. Go to sleep! Where Chai Shao couldn't see, Lu Hui's lips curled into a small smile. Oh, it's so easy to fool someone with a soft heart. Reader's Guide: 1. Updates at 6 p.m. every other day. If the story is on a ranking list, updates will follow the schedule. I'll take a leave if something comes up. 2. This isn't a criminal investigation novel. There are no major cases, just everyday trivialities. The pacing is slow, so if you want to read about solving crimes, please look elsewhere. 3. All in all, this is a sweet slice-of-life story, expected to be around 300,000 words (though my estimates are never accurate, well...). The plot serves the protagonists' relationship, so don't overanalyze it or compare it to real life. Readers who care about strict realism, please stay away. 4. If it's not to your taste, stop reading and close the page. No need to start a fight. 5. Questions about professional topics are welcome. Please don't offer unsolicited writing advice. Below is the preview for my upcoming novel, A General's Guide to Saving Himself Flamboyant bottom x secretly romantic top How can a general whose achievements eclipse the emperor's retire from court safely and enjoy his remaining years without a hitch? Profess his loyalty to the emperor? No. Resign of his own accord? No. The answer: Make the emperor fall in love with him. Cheng Yu transmigrated into a book, becoming a general with the same name as himself. The general had followed Xie Jingping before he became emperor. Back then, Xie Jingping was a passionate ray of sunshine. Who could have guessed that this ray of sunshine would eventually become a cruel, murderous obsessive who spared no one around him? The general expanded his territory, quelled rebellions, and helped him ascend the throne. Yet once everything was settled, Xie Jingping grew suspicious of the general, gradually weakening his military power, then discarding him once he was no longer useful. Cheng Yu: So all emperors are cut from the same cloth. He couldn't let that happen. He hadn't worked himself to death from overwork in the twenty-first century, so he certainly wasn't going to die a miserable death here. He wanted to stay alive and spend the rest of his days quietly enjoying retirement. After reading so many BL novels, he came up with a method he thought was sure to work: Make the emperor fall in love with him! And so the mighty general set out to seduce (not really) the emperor. There was no time to waste. He had to win Xie Jingping over while he was still a ray of sunshine! Xie Jingping thought Cheng Yu had been acting strangely lately. These past few days, he had stopped studying warfare and practicing with weapons. It seemed he'd taken an interest in studying Xie Jingping instead (?). Cheng Yu: What do you usually like to eat? What do you drink? What do you like to do? Do you have any hobbies? Xie Jingping: ? Not only was Cheng Yu studying him, but he was also unusually clingy, going so far as to climb into his bed!! Cheng Yu: I came to discuss something with you. Xie Jingping: Sure... Wait, no... If you want to talk, then talk. Why are you taking off your clothes? ...And you can't take mine off either! Are you crazy??? When Xie Jingping woke up in the morning and saw the person lying in his arms, he thought gloomily: It's over. What on earth happened?
