My Assistant Found My Empathy Doll

Currently serializing: Every Day I Flirt Shamelessly with the Movie Emperor

Blurb:

A desireless, poker-faced, cold and aloof bottom vs. a carefree, straightforward rich playboy top

Ruan Qizhu has a slim waist, long legs, fair skin, and striking good looks. Cool and refined, he is a renowned industry darling who is notoriously difficult to get along with. Yet the son of the boss, who had just parachuted into the company, specifically requested to be his assistant.

It was only when they met that Ruan Qizhu recalled anything about him.

Half a month ago, after a drinking party, Ruan Qizhu had gone for a walk in the park at night and met a man asking to borrow a lighter.

He had casually tossed the man his lighter and hadn't even bothered to remember what he looked like.

"Manager Ruan, you really are a VIP with a terrible memory. I'm heartbroken." Yan Baishan looked languid, but his tone was especially aggrieved.

Ruan Qizhu's expression was indifferent. "Sorry, we don't know each other."

But to his surprise, the man showed up outside his home in the middle of the night, claiming that Ruan Qizhu had accepted his invitation and was now pretending not to know him.

Only after looking into it did Ruan Qizhu learn that the people who went to that park were all gay.

Yan Baishan had just happened to pass by the park. He hadn't expected to meet such a beauty. Under the bright moonlight, the man looked gorgeous, but his expression was icy, making him utterly captivating.

Yan Baishan fell for him at first sight and went over to borrow a light. But after tossing him a lighter, the man simply left.

After going around in circles, Yan Baishan finally found out who the young man was: a manager at Manye Entertainment, and coincidentally the person in charge of his father's branch company.

One night in the office, he saw the young man bend over to lock the safe, revealing a supple waist and a glimpse of smooth, luminous skin.

Ruan Qizhu looked up at him, all business. "Is something wrong?"

Yan Baishan set the coffee on the desk and shook his head. Then he was sent to the garage to fetch something. He hadn't expected to find a paper bag on the passenger seat. Inside was a cotton doll that looked almost exactly like Ruan Qizhu.

On an impulse, he took the doll with him.

Lately, Ruan Qizhu had been feeling exhausted. When he got up in the morning, he found rosy marks on his arms and waist in the mirror, and even his normally pale lips had grown darker.

Only then did he remember the cotton doll he had locked away in the safe. But when he opened it, the doll was gone. Realizing something was wrong, he immediately called Yan Baishan and asked with a frown, "Did you take anything from my car last time?"

"Manager Ruan, what do you mean? That cotton doll that looks just like you?"

The voice coming through the phone sounded carefree. Ruan Qizhu bit his lip. "Yes. It's mine. Taking it without asking is theft."

"I didn't." Yan Baishan said, "I'm not even getting paid for this job. How much could a doll be worth?"

There he went, being shameless again. Ruan Qizhu couldn't hold back. "I'm not selling it. Give it back."

But the other person hung up on him. With no other option, Ruan Qizhu called him into the office.

Yan Baishan raised an eyebrow. "I noticed the hickey on your neck. Got a boyfriend?"

Ruan Qizhu couldn't contain his irritation. "It's none of your business."

"Give me back the doll."

"No."

"I can buy you a new one. Just give me this one back."

"None of the others look like you. With this doll, I dream about you every night. Manager Ruan is so cold to me, but the doll is adorable."

Hearing what he meant, Ruan Qizhu froze. "What did you say?"

"The spot where you have that hickey is exactly where I bite you in my dreams."

"If you want the doll back, come get it yourself."

* The top falls for the bottom at first sight, though he also partly fell for his looks, if you know what I mean.

* Some fictional liberties have been taken.

* A self-indulgent work made to satisfy my own tastes. Apologies for the lack of logic, and thanks for reading!
