The Years Pass, but Desire's Ravine Is Never Filled

A sent-down youth bottom x a rugged top (From 1976 to the 1990s). Thank you for supporting the official release!

A rugged man is handsome, hardworking, strong, muscular, sun-kissed, caring, and responsible. He isn't some ugly guy who never bathes, as people might assume.

The most capable guy in the village falls for a handsome young master sent there for rural labor. A top-tier seducer enters the beginner's village.

The young son of a capitalist family, Zhong Ruizhi, is sent to the countryside at age seventeen, where he meets Cang Yijing, a capable and handsome peasant.

The young master is lucky wherever he goes. He doesn't have to lift a finger, and food is brought to him.

The sent-down youth's dormitory is full, so he moves into Brother Jing's house. If he wants something to eat, Brother Jing saves up to buy it for him. If he wants to slack off, Brother Jing does his farm work. He's sturdy and handsome, and even smells nice. Zhong Ruizhi spends all day pretending he can't walk, so Cang Yijing carries him home after work.

Lying on Cang Yijing's back, Zhong Ruizhi thinks happily, How wonderful it would be if Brother Jing belonged only to me.

So, after they confess their feelings to each other one night, they start a shameless affair.

Later, Zhong Ruizhi returns to the city. His peasant brother catches the wave of reform and opening up, goes south to do business, and transforms into Boss Cang.

Zhong Ruizhi gets into a university in Shanghai. Their old flame reignites, and they shamelessly get together again.

That is, until Zhong Ruizhi's mother sees the car rocking rhythmically not far from the entrance to their home, and her eldest son getting out of it with an unusually red face.

Zhong Ruizhi stubbornly denies it: "What's the difference between men and women? It's just for fun... I... could I really take it seriously?"

He doesn't want to go abroad, but his mother's words leave him no choice.

"Who does he think he is? Do you believe I could make him go back to the countryside and plant crops with a single word?"

"Brother Jing, I thought if I went far away and stopped seeing you, I could put an end to it. I thought I wouldn't remember you or love you anymore, but... there hasn't been a single day I haven't missed you."

They are the insatiable desire in each other's long years apart.

[Little scene after they get back together]

Cang Yijing: "Five years, minus the bits at either end, comes to exactly fifteen hundred days. One round a day, fifteen hundred times."

"Holy crap!" Zhong Ruizhi is so shocked his mouth hangs open. "You beast! Cang Yijing, fifteen... fifteen hundred times? You... you... My ass is going to be wrecked!"

Zhong Ruizhi turns around, but realizes that's not right. How can he point his butt at him? So he turns back around.

Cang Yijing says, "That's already the discounted rate. I do it more than once a day, and I haven't even charged you interest."

"Then... when do I... start paying you back?"

Cang Yijing says, "Give me a proper title."

One-on-one, both pure, each other's first love, happy ending, feel-good and satisfying, rich in the middle, old-school earthy sweetness. Not angsty, but moving.

No need to tell me if you're dropping the novel. The reason they separate is more complicated than the blurb makes it sound.

I wish I could give a son to every sister who buys the whole novel, leaves a five-star review, writes a complimentary comment, or supports me with nutrient fluids!

The second child next door is already complete and ready to read: Chasing the Deer and Asking for the Throne. A highly intelligent, beautiful, proud emperor bottom, with a character who's second to none. He rises from humble beginnings to the throne, bringing life-giving rain to all under heaven.

Theme: Break free from society's constraints and dare to be yourself.
