Fight to the Bitter End

Zhou Chu never imagined he would fall in love with a kid.

His cousin was being reckless and brought an eighteen-year-old home. At first, Zhou Chu planned to force them apart, but the kid turned out to be a rare member of another race, and the family's attitude changed from resistance to enthusiastic approval.

The annoying part was the baggage the kid brought along.

For various reasons, the little tagalong was left with Zhou Chu. He was only supposed to look after him for a while, but once he did, he couldn't get enough of him. After that, no matter what anyone said, he refused to give him back.

And whenever someone tried to carry the little tagalong off, Zhou Chu got worked up like a wolf whose territory had been invaded, snapping at anyone who came near.

Qi Yuan was a lily flower spirit who had just come down from the mountains. Unfortunately, on his second day in the city, he lost both his true lily form and his companion spirit, and was forced to possess a human body.

He had planned to seek out his peony senior, but in a daze, he ended up going to the capital as part of his elder brother's bridal entourage.

The good news was that he found the peony in the capital.

The bad news was that the peony had forgotten him.

But it wasn't a big problem.

Thanks to his efforts, although his aloof and noble peony senior never regained his memories, it made little difference. He was still the same peony who held Qi Yuan in the palm of his hand and doted on him.

Much later, Zhou Chu held Qi Yuan in his arms and reminisced. "Sweetheart, were you scared when we first met? I remember you were trembling all over."

Qi Yuan looked at Zhou Chu with a complicated expression. "If that's what you want to believe, then sure."

Qi Yuan hadn't had much sweetness in his life. Zhou Chu was one of the few. No, Zhou Chu was a whole lot of sweetness, because once Zhou Chu came along, Qi Yuan never had to suffer again.

There wasn't a normal person in the Zhou family. Zhou Chu was the family's biggest clown. He acted aloof and noble in front of outsiders, but only Qi Yuan knew that he often hid under the covers and cried.

People say that constant dripping wears away stone. Perhaps Zhou Chu's tears opened the heart that had been blocked by a boulder.
