My Archenemy Boss Always Wants to Cuddle Up to Me

Blurb

A seemingly overworked office drone who's actually bashful, stubborn, and well-built gong

A seemingly aloof but actually guileless, straightforward android shou

Shen Cong is from the future. More accurately, he's not a person at all, but an android equipped with a Workaholic System.

When he first transmigrated to this era, Shen Cong thought there was nothing he couldn't adapt to, thanks to his computer brain, thousands of years ahead of modern humanity. But after inexplicably growing weak and fainting several times, he finally started paying attention to the maintenance of his parts.

After 0522 tinkered around and ran some checks, the little robot raised both its tentacles and came to a shocking conclusion.

Shen Cong's core processing battery... seemed to have run out of power.

At first, getting close to Fang Yize was purely an accident. Shen Cong simply thought his junior employee was quite obedient and willing to do anything, from working overtime to revising proposals. Well... he had a nice body, too.

Then, after fainting one time, Shen Cong grabbed someone's arm in a panic and suddenly felt an unusual rush of energy flood through him.

Th-this must be what it feels like when electricity flows through your body...

Shen Cong clung to the muscular arm, sighing in bliss, when an extremely awkward voice spoke by his ear.

"Director Shen, h-how much longer are you going to keep touching me?"

What's it like having a workaholic boss?

Fang Yize said nothing. He just kept working overtime, occasionally sneaking in a doodle of Shen Cong with a curse written over it.

Tch. He's just a director. What's so, so special about him?

Shen Cong (walking over): "This proposal needs more revisions. Get it to me tonight."

Fang Yize (gritting his teeth): "...Yes, Director."

Lately, though, Fang Yize felt like he was running into Shen Cong much more often.

He was sitting in the dining hall peeling shrimp when someone immediately sat in the empty seat beside him. Fang Yize looked up and met Shen Cong's innocent eyes, unable to stop himself from shivering.

He looked around at all the empty seats in the dining hall and quietly moved his tray farther away.

While he was revising a proposal with a coworker, a small shadow suddenly fell across the table. He looked up in confusion. Shen Cong's curled eyelashes fluttered as if he wanted to join their discussion.

Coworker: "Why are your ears red?"

Fang Yize (bristling): "Shut up!"

Then, for no apparent reason, Shen Cong promoted him to assistant. Fang Yize carried his things into Shen Cong's office under the knowing gazes of his coworkers. As Shen Cong's slender waist swayed back and forth in front of him, almost as if to taunt him, Fang Yize finally couldn't help asking:

"Director Shen, are we that close?"

1v1 fluffy, no-angst romance.

The shou gets energy from cuddling up to the gong.

The shou is a little frail and faints often.

There's a big difference in build between the gong and shou.

Here's a preview of an upcoming story.

Blurb

Wen Han spent his whole life walking on eggshells. After he died, he discovered that he had been living inside a melodramatic novel, as the tragic cannon-fodder shou.

He accompanied his CEO older brother to business dinners until he developed gastric bleeding, only to get a dismissive, "Go to the hospital yourself." He devoted himself to raising the child his shou younger brother had saved, but in the end, the child not only ran off without a word of thanks, but also helped bring down his company.

After getting a second chance at life, Wen Han looked at his older brother and the protagonist shou, who were gazing down at him from on high. He handed the child back to the protagonist shou and spoke up first.

"I wish you two all the best. I'm heading out."

Everyone else mocked him, convinced he wouldn't survive without the Wen family. But Wen Han could do anything and endure any hardship. He even landed the title of "Best Employee" while working as a supermarket clerk.

One day, as Wen Han was diligently straightening the shelves, he suddenly felt a chill overhead. He looked up to see an exceptionally handsome face. The man's eyes were so dark and unfathomable they were frightening.

"Mr. Wen, you need to repay your debt."

Wen Han: ^_^?

The more Wen Han looked, the more familiar the man seemed. It wasn't until the man's gaze lingered on his calloused hands and his brows drew tighter and tighter that Wen Han suddenly remembered.

Wasn't this that infuriating kid, Gu Huaizhi, the protagonist gong?

Later.

Wen family older brother: "Xiao Han, does your stomach still hurt? Please, talk to me."

"..."

It wasn't that Wen Han didn't want to talk to him. He was just far too busy. Gu Huaizhi was getting more unreasonable by the day, nothing like the obedient, sensible child he'd been when he was little.

Wen Han had a weak stomach, so Gu Huaizhi wouldn't let him eat anything cold. Every meal had to be made by Gu Huaizhi himself. Whenever Wen Han couldn't stand it and wanted to go back to work, Gu Huaizhi stayed by his side day after day and wouldn't let him lift anything heavy.

Wen Han was so bored of being kept under control that he finally asked the kid, "What debt am I supposed to be repaying?"

Gu Huaizhi remained expressionless. With one hand, he supported Wen Han's injured waist. With the other, he slowly pulled a battered notebook out of his pocket and opened it for Wen Han to see.

It was a doodle notebook Wen Han recognized. It was filled with crooked, childish writing. Wen Han was so embarrassed he didn't dare keep reading, but Gu Huaizhi read the words aloud, one by one.

"Gu Huaizhi and Wen Han have to stay together forever. Whoever backs out is a puppy and has to pay a hundred yuan puppy fee!"

Wen Han's face turned so red it looked ready to bleed. Gu Huaizhi seemed to give a faint smile, then turned toward him. His hot breath fell against Wen Han's face, leaving him too nervous to move.

"Mr. Wen, I'm charging interest."

A year's worth, ten years' worth, a whole lifetime's worth of time. All of Wen Han's time was interest Gu Huaizhi intended to collect. Every last bit, not a cent less.

An optimistic, frail shou who's given up on getting by, first hated by everyone, then adored by everyone.

A possessive, powerful, high-ranking, obsessive CEO gong who's fiercely devoted.

1v1

The gong never loved the protagonist shou. The one he loved all along was the shou.
