About this novel:

Sharp-tongued writer bottom (Zhou) and younger painter puppy top (Si)

Basically, it's all about the everyday life of a little butterfly and a puppy.

On a snowy night, Zhou Qingyu was rescued by a man he'd run into twice before.

A few days later, the man said he wanted to visit Nanning.

On a whim, Zhou Qingyu said, "I was planning to visit Nanning too."

"Oh, that's great! Want to go together?"

And just like that, they became travel buddies.

After exploring all of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in Dali, Si Cen was due to return to Beijing. On their last night, they shared a bed, and he said to Zhou Qingyu, "Come closer. There's too much space between us under the blanket, and it's cold."

Zhou Qingyu turned to look at him. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his throat tightened.

-

Zhou Qingyu had always thought Si Cen was an artistic painter. But after their trip, on the day of Si Cen's art exhibition, while his assistant waited outside to remind him of the time, they were alone in a narrow, dim lounge. Si Cen had tied Zhou Qingyu's hands with a necktie. His face was as red as a rose, and he panted heavily, his eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing what was on his mind, Si Cen's eyes gleamed like a hungry wolf's. "Want Teacher Zhou to try something even more exciting next time?"

Reader's guide:

1. Lots of travel and everyday life, with a return home midway to take care of work.

2. A sweet little story with no real-life basis. Please don't bring real people into it.

3. Nearly 70% of the novel is from the bottom's point of view, with the rest from the top's.

4. There's a secondary couple, but they're only mentioned briefly.

5. This is my first novel, so please be kind.

Blurb for the completed novel:

Reserved, gentle bottom * straightforward, gentle younger top. One-on-one, both each other's first.

Song Fangjin wanted to escape his suffocating life. On the night he arrived in Seville, he hired a local tour guide.

The guide's name was as free-spirited as he was. He was as warm and direct as summer, with an enticing body that looked like it would feel wonderful to touch... And he spoke fluent Mandarin.

-

The first time Qiao Feng saw Song Fangjin, his heart rate shot to 120, and his heart pounded like thunder in his chest.

Walking beside him, Qiao Feng felt the cool spring breeze as a humid warmth rising after a summer rain. He thought he was nervous, but in his twenty-two years, he'd never been intimidated by anything.

Only later did he realize that what he felt was love.

-

The sun and the sunflower were inseparable, and Qiao Feng hoped they could be the same way.

He chose to be the sunflower, with Song Fangjin as the warm sun.

In truth, Song Fangjin was the dying sunflower, longing more than anything for sunlight. But the man who loved him saw him as the warmest, brightest presence in the world.
