Did Big Brother Lose His Cool Today?

[Older, protective, dominant top x clingy, affectionate little peacock bottom]

When Li Qiyue was twelve, a man who claimed to be his uncle took him away.

The man across from him crossed one leg over the other, struck a flint to light his cigarette, and said, “From now on, I’ll take care of you. You can call me Big Brother.”

Li Qiyue lowered his eyes to the tips of the man’s leather shoes and obediently called him that.

At eighteen, Li Qiyue realized he was in love with Big Brother, helplessly swept up in the kind of crush that came with being young.

Then he found out Big Brother was homophobic.

Li Qiyue was furious. “...Seriously? He’s that old and still afraid of this and that? Is he prejudiced or what?”

*

Li Qiyue kept his little crush hidden until after he graduated from university, when he accidentally learned that Big Brother had found himself a ‘sister-in-law.’ Worried, he flew over that very night, only to discover it was all a misunderstanding.

Li Qiyue put on a convincing act. “I came to see my boyfriend.”

“Boyfriend?”

“What, is that not allowed?”

Shen Ying glanced at him. “It’s allowed.”

Li Qiyue was staying there temporarily for an internship, and Big Brother suddenly changed his tune, keeping a very close eye on him.

He had to be home by eight if he went out at night.

He had to report what he was doing promptly.

He had to keep location sharing on at all times.

Li Qiyue felt suffocated by all the rules and deliberately said, “If we only see each other once a week, he’ll break up with me!”

Shen Ying didn’t budge. “Then break up.”

“Then you have to make it up to me. You do it. You be my boyfriend.”

Shen Ying took out a cigarette and held it under his nose, inhaling its scent before giving a low, deep laugh. “Have you slept with him?”

Li Qiyue was stunned. “No.”

“I’m not like him. I really will have my way with you. You’ll have to put up with the pain, too.”

What should an excellent, professional executive assistant do after accidentally sleeping with his boss?

Naturally, he should calmly get himself together, act as though nothing happened, then sit down across from his boss at the negotiating table to discuss how to resolve the situation.

The boss was a traditional man. Just as he was about to say the words “get married,” Executive Assistant Lin casually tapped the table and held up three fingers.

“My terms are simple: thirty million in hush money.”

Zhou Shuhuai froze. “You want money?”

Lin Xu tilted his head. “What else?”

After receiving the check, President Zhou left the hotel early. As soon as the door closed, Lin Xu’s back, which he had kept straight for so long, finally bent in agony.

Lin Xu, face livid, clutched his lower back. “Fuck, you beast. You’re huge. What’s wrong with you?”

*

In his thirty years of life, aside from taking over the family business, Zhou Shuhuai had never made any plans for himself. Even when it came to marriage, he had always taken the attitude that he might as well go along with things and let his parents arrange everything.

That was until he slept with Executive Assistant Lin.

The fact that the other man wanted money but refused to take responsibility gave Zhou Shuhuai a faint sense of moral scruples. Unfortunately, the other man wasn’t willing, and Zhou Shuhuai couldn’t force him.

After that night, Lin Xu treated him just as he always had. Nothing changed.

Except that Zhou Shuhuai began paying attention to Lin Xu’s words and actions.

Perhaps he hadn’t paid much attention before. Only now did he realize that his assistant didn’t seem quite like the person he’d imagined.

Executive Assistant Lin was considerate in every way and knew his tastes and personal likes and dislikes.

He fought for Zhou Shuhuai’s interests at shareholders’ meetings.

No matter when or where, he came running as soon as Zhou Shuhuai called, without a single complaint.

Zhou Shuhuai fell into deep thought. What else could this be but love?

*

Lin Xu had been feeling very irritated lately because he’d realized that Zhou Shuhuai, that stupid dog, seemed to be pursuing him.

For the sake of his job, he put up with his boss’s constant emotional harassment and pretended not to notice.

That was until the stupid dog stole a kiss while he was asleep.

Only then did Lin Xu finally open his eyes, revealing his real temper for once as he gave a playful smile.

“What, you want to do it again?”

Zhou Shuhuai’s reaction was calmer than Lin Xu had expected.

“Yeah. I want to. Can I?”
