Ling Xi was framed and dragged into a scandal as a "sex star."
The internet was buzzing with insults and vicious criticism. All he wanted was to go to Haicheng...
Then his car broke down halfway there.
Even more unexpected was running into Liang Tan in such a sorry state.
His breakup with Liang Tan had ended badly. Liang Tan probably hated him to the core by now.
Ling Xi tried to avoid him, but Liang Tan rudely blocked his way.
Liang Tan's face was stern, his features sharp. After a long pause, he said in a low voice, "What the hell are you hiding for?"
"Come home with me first."
.
Ling Xi came from an elegant, privileged family. He'd never met anyone as rough as Liang Tan. Of course, he'd never slept on a bed this hard and lumpy, either.
...And the house wasn't soundproof.
Wide awake in the middle of the night, he went and knocked on Liang Tan's door.
Liang Tan's muscular chest rose and fell. A vein bulged at his temple as he struggled to hold back.
He asked in a hoarse, harsh voice, "What do you want?"
Ling Xi was too embarrassed to say the truth, so he made an excuse: "The guest room is uncomfortable to sleep in."
After a long silence, a scoff came from above him. "You heard us?"
Ling Xi looked up, but before he could say a word, Liang Tan dragged him into the master bedroom and threw him onto the bed.
Beside the bed was an old, dog-eared photo of Ling Xi.
Liang Tan picked it up, carefully put it away, then stared at him earnestly. "But the real thing's still better."
.
Liang Tan has a dog's temper and is fiercely loyal to his chosen person.
So the moment he met Ling Xi, he wanted to pin him down and bring him back into his territory.
