Childhood Friends / Unrequited Love / Rekindled Romance
After they reunited, Xie Jiayu kept going on and on in front of everyone about his little brother this and his little brother that.
Then one day, a friend asked him, "How come you haven't been talking about that precious little brother next door lately?"
Xie Jiayu lit a cigarette and said gravely, "He's avoiding me."
"What did you do?"
Xie Jiayu thought it over. "I shouldn't have forgotten to bring a change of clothes when I went to shower."
His friend: "?"
Then Zhu Xiaochuan wouldn't have seen him get turned on.
And he wouldn't have run off without a word.
Later, the two fell in love. Xie Jiayu had their future home and wedding rings all ready, but Zhu Xiaochuan brought up a "breakup."
Xie Jiayu called Zhu Xiaochuan one last time. His voice caught in his throat several times. "Zhu Xiaochuan, you always run off without a word. Who taught you to do that?"
A muffled sob came from the other end. Xie Jiayu's heart skipped a beat, and he said gently, "Don't be sad. It's not your fault."
"I won't hold it against you this time. Don't feel bad."
Later, by a twist of fate, the two were trapped in the snowy mountains.
Xie Jiayu was injured and didn't want to hold him back. "Go. I don't love you anymore."
But Zhu Xiaochuan, eyes red, carried him on his back. He stubbornly fell and got up again, over and over. "Xie Jiayu, save your strength. I'd die before leaving you here alone."
Bonus Scene:
At the hotel, Zhu Xiaochuan had lost all sense of time. Aching all over, he mumbled softly, "You were so rough, and you said you wouldn't hold it against me. Didn't you say you didn't love me anymore?"
Xie Jiayu reflected, "At least you've still got the energy to talk."
And which one of them was holding a grudge, anyway?
The main story is told from the shou's point of view. Zhu Xiaochuan is the shou.
One-on-one romance, both are each other's first, happy ending, with both sweet and angsty moments.
Coming Soon: Wild Nature Is Hard to Change
Rekindled Romance / Younger Devoted Puppy
On the first day Song Chaoyi took over his family's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, two people showed up to challenge him.
One was a rival who deliberately brought him a critically ill patient.
The other was Su Yuye, second young master of the Su Group, top celebrity, and his ex-boyfriend.
After their long separation, Su Yuye saw him being given a hard time and gleefully watched from the sidelines.
The rival looked at the critically ill patient. "What if you can't treat him?"
Song Chaoyi took the patient's pulse, glanced at his ex, and answered out of habit, "I'll pay with his life."
Everyone was shocked, wondering what kind of grudge the two had between them.
Only Su Yuye remained expressionless.
Song Chaoyi suddenly remembered that they had broken up.
So he smiled and corrected himself. "I misspoke. I'll pay with my own life."
Su Yuye, who hadn't reacted at all just moments before, instantly turned cold.
*
After Song Chaoyi remained unmoved by one test after another, Su Yuye deliberately brought his rumored boyfriend right in front of him. "How does he compare to your boyfriend?"
Song Chaoyi answered a different question. "Second Young Master, I imagine someone of your standing has no shortage of options for a personal physician. Please find someone else."
*
After taking the game too far, Su Yuye chased Song Chaoyi onto a variety show.
On the show, Su Yuye came in first and went to Song Chaoyi to claim his reward. "Anything I want?"
Song Chaoyi nodded.
Su Yuye leaned close to his ear and secretly bit it where the cameras couldn't see. His hot breath carried a restless, uneasy intensity. "Can I have you?"
*
Everyone thought the untamable celebrity Su was just having a bit of fun with Song Chaoyi.
No one expected Su Yuye to lower his asking price to promote Song Chaoyi's clinic, devote himself to charity for his sake, or take him on variety shows.
He would lie awake, restless and unable to settle, just because Song Chaoyi gave a quiet cough.
And no one knew how many temples Su Yuye, who had never feared heaven or earth, had visited, or how many gods he had knelt before, all to pray that Song Chaoyi would live a long life.
A skilled, compassionate heir to a traditional Chinese medicine family x an untamable, somewhat scheming but not overly so, devoted young master
