[Uptight Straight-Laced Bottom x Flirtatious Playboy Top]
Wen Lian suspects his brother is dating a graduate student under Professor Wen.
There wouldn't be anything wrong with that. Romance between adults is only natural.
But the problem is, his brother's love interest... is a man.
Same-sex relationships are still a minority in society. To keep his brother from getting hurt, Wen Lian thinks he should put this "brother-in-law" to the test.
On a dark and windy night, Wen Lian finally finds an opportunity to be alone with Wen Qi.
He folds his arms across his chest, his tone stern and serious. "You need to quit smoking and drinking."
Wen Qi stares at him without a word, then casually tosses the cigarettes in his pocket into the trash.
Wen Lian gives an almost imperceptible nod. "My family is strict. If my parents disapprove and kick my brother out, you'll have to take care of him."
Wen Qi chuckles and flings a black card onto the table.
Wen Lian breathes a sigh of relief, then makes one last request. "You need to change your temper. My brother likes gentle people."
This time, Wen Qi speaks. His eyes narrow slightly, and the corners of his mouth curl in a way that's hard to read. "Is that the standard for everyone in your family?"
Wen Lian doesn't understand, but still answers, "Yes."
Wen Qi stands up.
He advances step by step, then leans down slowly, bracing both hands on the arms of the chair.
Under Wen Lian's puzzled gaze, he plants a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth. "Who said I wanted to be your sister-in-law?"
"A-Lian, I want to be your boyfriend."
