Wouldn't You Rather Let Me Be Your Husband, Big Brother?

Cui Lanzheng was famously hard to pursue. He came from a wealthy family and was beautiful, but his personality was haughty and distant, and he disliked being touched.

It took Liang Xu three whole years to finally win this aloof beauty over.

Only after they got together did he realize just how clingy Cui Lanzheng was.

He used to ignore everyone, but now he only had eyes for Liang Xu. He also loved to act spoiled, and even if he woke groggily in the middle of the night, he'd curl up in Liang Xu's arms.

Cui Lanzheng began to love him, but Liang Xu changed. He often took ages to reply to messages, and whenever Cui Lanzheng called, he always said he was busy.

Cui Lanzheng never checked up on his schedule, and he didn't like asking questions endlessly.

Half-convinced, he waited, only to be met with Liang Xu's cold shoulder and a breakup.

The reason was that Cui Lanzheng wasn't willing to go all the way.

Cui Ning moved with his mother when she remarried. He was bold and unruly, and had never gotten along with his stepbrother.

One day, he pushed open the bedroom door and was astonished to see Cui Lanzheng.

The young man, usually impeccably dressed and cold as ice, was lying on his bed, clutching his clothes. His expression was dazed, and the corners of his eyes were red.

"Get out."

Cui Ning thought, Isn't this my room, my bed, and my clothes?

"I said, get out..."

His older brother had hated him since they were children, and Cui Ning hated him too. He also knew his greatest weakness: Cui Lanzheng had skin hunger and a pathological obsession with cleanliness.

And yet, Cui Ning was one of the very few people Cui Lanzheng could stand.

So Cui Ning walked over to the bed, bent down, and took that hand as white as jade.

Cui Lanzheng recoiled as if burned. His eyes were actually brimming with tears, and he seemed unable to recognize the person in front of him. Sobbing, he called out, "Honey, don't break up with me..."

Cui Ning smiled.

"It's me, your little brother. What am I supposed to do? You're so pitiful like this."

"Use me. I'll make sure you're satisfied."

They made three rules. Cui Lanzheng would treat him only as a tool to ease his symptoms.

No kissing, no romance, and absolutely no letting anyone else suspect anything.

Cui Ning: "Fine. Friends with benefits, right? I get it."

...This guy didn't get it at all.

He actually kissed him right in front of Liang Xu.

Cui Lanzheng had developed a dependence on him. His lips, tongue, and waist were all so pliant that he couldn't push Cui Ning away.

Cui Ning picked him up, apologized with his words but didn't loosen his grip at all. Then he glanced at Liang Xu and even gave him an extremely provocative smile.

Cui Lanzheng used to feel awkward even holding hands in public. Liang Xu looked at that flushed, beautiful face, his expression dark and unreadable.

That was something he used to have, too.

"So," Cui Ning said, fastening his collar to hide the bite marks, "what are we now?"

"Nothing."

He felt like his body was about to fall apart, and he croaked out a denial.

"Oh," Cui Ning said, pressing the video play button. "That's not what you just said, big brother."

The screen came to life. Cui Lanzheng's cheeks burned, and he couldn't bring himself to look at the projection, but he still heard his own voice, thick with affection:

"Mm... I've always, always loved my husband the most..."

"And I love my wife the most, too ^^."

Cold and aloof, with a strong sense of shame and skin hunger. An aloof beauty who becomes a lovesick girl once he's conquered. Bottom × selfish scumbag top [replaced by] a flippant, brazen, wild and wicked, straightforward and aggressive, protective and vengeful younger stepbrother top.

1. Both are sexually inexperienced. No cheating on or reversing the pairing, and no disruptive comments.

2. Fake incest, no blood relation, and they're not on the same household register.

3. The top changes. The ex-husband is sexually inexperienced. There will be a groveling arc, but the younger brother will provoke him mercilessly, with lots of losing-ex NTR plotlines, and even a fetish for being cuckolded coming to light.

4. Not suitable for extreme character-control readers. The kinks will hurt 😋 (because of the breakup and the illness), so proceed with caution if that's a trigger.
