Hot-tempered, cold-faced but warm-hearted bottom x loyal, gloomy, ghostlike top
Jian Qing lost his parents at seven and drifted through life for eight years. At last, he worked up the nerve to pull off something big and make something of himself, only to have a six-year-old brat cling to him.
He said, "Finish this pot of noodles, then get lost."
The kid was tiny, but ate even more than he did.
The brat wiped his mouth and stared at him with pitch-black eyes.
Seeing the kid get bold, Jian Qing threatened him: "Keep staring and I'll gouge your eyes out."
The brat jumped, clinging to his leg and crying weakly, "Big brother."
"..." What a mess!
That winter, the big kid and the little kid huddled together on a rock-hard wooden plank. In the pitch-black night, the brat touched his face and summoned up the courage to say, "Big brother, we really don't have any money. Don't throw me away. I can sell my eyes."
Jian Qing froze, then told him that would leave him blind, and without money for treatment, the wound would get infected.
The brat suggested selling a kidney instead. A child's kidney was worth a lot.
Jian Qing was a little annoyed. He said a child would die quickly after losing a kidney.
Afraid of dying before his big brother, the brat asked, "Then what can I sell to make things easier for you?"
Jian Qing angrily kicked him. "If you're not going to sleep, get down."
