After Falling in Love at First Sight with a Rough Country Boy

[A spoiled, hot-tempered young master who says exactly what he thinks x a mature, older, loyal, rugged man]

The thing Xiao Chenyu regretted most was arguing with his father and getting sent off to a remote village.

There was nothing in the countryside. Life was poor and mind-numbingly dull, and all he thought about every day was going back to the city, back to the city, back to the city.

Until one day, Xiao Chenyu saw a man. The muscles beneath the man’s sweat-soaked undershirt were sleek and well-defined, and Xiao Chenyu couldn’t take his eyes off him.

Xiao Chenyu: Maybe I don’t want to go back to the city that badly after all.

Xiao Chenyu: This is actually pretty great.

*

After exhausting every excuse, Xiao Chenyu finally managed to stay the night at the man’s house. That night, he and the man squeezed into the same bed.

Unfortunately, the man was always cold and seemed frighteningly fierce. He even made Xiao Chenyu agree to three rules.

“First, don’t go wandering off. I have to make sure you’re safe.”

“Second, don’t touch anything in the house that’s locked up.”

“Third,” the man said, “when we’re sleeping, don’t get handsy with me like you did last night.”

Xiao Chenyu blushed and protested, “What do you mean, get handsy? I didn’t! Don’t make things up!”

The man took Xiao Chenyu’s hand and placed it against his own chest, his tone indifferent.

“Last night, this is how you touched me.”

*

Xiao Chenyu thought, So what if I touched him? Just a little. What’s the big deal?

Before long, he was staring at a box full of XXL-sized things, so startled that he dropped straight onto the floor.

One ordinary evening, Wang Chi finished his shower and shuffled back to his room in slippers.

He had just sat down on the edge of the bed when Xiao Chenyu kicked him from behind. “You hurt me just now, and you still wouldn’t stop!”

Wang Chi turned around and took hold of his ankle. “Sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.”

Xiao Chenyu kicked him again. “You’re lying. You said that last time, too!”

“Last time? Which time? The haystack, or the courtyard…”

Fuming, Xiao Chenyu lunged at him and covered his mouth. “You’re not allowed to talk!”

*

Later, Xiao Chenyu returned to the city, and Wang Chi told him they should break up.

When Xiao Chenyu saw Wang Chi again, he was so furious that before he could say a word, he slapped him.

Everyone around them fell silent, not daring to speak.

Wang Chi simply took Xiao Chenyu’s hand and gently squeezed it. “Does your hand hurt?”

Xiao Chenyu gave a huff, pulled his hand away, and turned to leave.

*

Wang Chi tried many times to win Xiao Chenyu back, but kept hitting a wall.

At last, he finally came up with a plan.

When Xiao Chenyu got a video call from Wang Chi, he deliberately waited forty seconds before answering, pretending to be casual. “What is it?”

The faint sound of running water came through the speaker, and the screen was filled with steam.

Xiao Chenyu’s eyes widened as he watched the outline of a body appear and disappear through the mist. It took him a moment to realize Wang Chi was showering.

The phone was positioned just right: from his head and shoulders down to the bottom edge of his abs.

Xiao Chenyu held his breath, staring at the screen without blinking, hoping the camera would move just a little lower.

Soon, the water stopped. Wang Chi gave his hair a quick rub with a towel, walked over to the phone, glanced at the screen, and ended the call without hesitation.

Xiao Chenyu panicked and immediately called him back, ready to give him a piece of his mind.

Wang Chi waited until he had finished, then gave a quiet “Mm” and drawled, “Baby, do you want to come over now? I’m at the hotel downstairs from your place. Looking isn’t much fun. Want to touch?”

“No way,” Xiao Chenyu huffed, turning his head aside.

Wang Chi went on drying himself on the other end of the screen, wiping from top to bottom, then from bottom to top.

Less than two minutes later, Wang Chi heard the person on the other end snap, “What’s the room number?!”

"Getting Back Together with My Toxic Childhood Friend"

Three years after they parted, Sheng Can saw Liang Yue again at an elder’s funeral.

Everyone else knew Liang Yue as his good friend since childhood. Only Sheng Can knew that Liang Yue was also… the ex-boyfriend who had broken up with him three years ago.

They had ended things badly, and now that they were forced to meet again, they were painfully polite and distant.

Seated across the round table, Sheng Can studied Liang Yue from afar and noticed that his coat looked familiar.

It was the coat Sheng Can had given Liang Yue when they were deeply in love.

Sheng Can lowered his eyes and thought, Liang Yue must have forgotten where this coat came from.

Liang Yue was the one who had dumped him. Why would he still be wearing a coat Sheng Can bought for him?

*

After the funeral, Liang Yue hurried off to catch a flight.

It was quite some time before anyone noticed he had left his watch behind.

The elders didn’t know about the rift between them, so they asked Sheng Can to return it to Liang Yue.

Back home, Sheng Can stared at the watch for a long time before calling Liang Yue.

By then, Liang Yue’s flight should already have taken off, so no one should have answered. But the call connected almost immediately.

“Got it. I’ll come back for it.”

With that, Liang Yue hung up.

Soon, the doorbell rang.

Sheng Can opened the door and found Liang Yue standing outside, drenched by the rain.

They stared at each other in silence until Liang Yue spoke first. “The rain’s really heavy. Can I use your bathroom to shower? I forgot my umbrella, and I’m soaked.”

Sheng Can hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let him in.

Liang Yue took a long time in the shower. By the time he came out, Sheng Can had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He looked down at Sheng Can for a while, then bent over and kissed him.

Sheng Can woke groggily and met his gaze.

The feeling was so familiar. The body was so familiar.

Soon, they were tangled up together.

Just then, a bedroom door opened, and a clear, bright little voice called out:

“Daddy.”

Liang Yue froze.

He slowly turned around and saw a lovely little child, with features almost identical to Sheng Can’s.

"One Day, I Found Out My Boyfriend Was a Twin"

1

Li Xun noticed that his boyfriend, Jiang Linyuan, had been acting strangely lately.

They’d been dating for months, but the most intimate thing they’d done was hold hands. They hadn’t even hugged, let alone kissed or gone any further.

But after one rainy night, his boyfriend suddenly became intensely eager for his body.

In their cramped rental, they spent the whole night entwined, on and off the bed, while his boyfriend told him over and over that he loved him.

But one day, Li Xun ran into his boyfriend on the street. He called out “Jiang Linyuan” repeatedly, but the man didn’t even turn around.

2

Jiang Linyuan was going on a business trip in a few days, so Li Xun made a rare effort to cook for him before he left.

He wasn’t very good at it, and accidentally cut his hand while chopping vegetables.

His boyfriend hurried over. His hands trembled as he treated the wound.

Li Xun thought, He really does love me.

On the day Jiang Linyuan left, Li Xun tied his tie himself and saw him off in a taxi bound for the airport.

After Jiang Linyuan had left, Li Xun went to a shopping mall far from home to buy a limited-edition blind box.

Once he got it, he sent Jiang Linyuan a photo. Jiang Linyuan didn’t reply, of course. He couldn’t answer right away because he was on a plane.

But when Li Xun walked around a corner and happened to look up, he saw Jiang Linyuan, who should have been away on his business trip, smiling as he accompanied a graceful woman to buy a diamond ring.

The tie Li Xun had tied for him was still showing at his collar.

The man and woman held hands. Anyone could see how close they were.

Li Xun stood frozen, his blood turning cold.

Just then, someone behind him reached out and covered his eyes.

“Don’t look,” the man said.

The voice was so familiar. Li Xun turned around and saw a face identical to his boyfriend’s.

The man led him away, then saw the scabbed-over wound on his hand. He asked with concern, “Where’s the bandage I put on for you? Did it fall off?”

Li Xun stared at the man in front of him, his head spinning.

That morning, he had tied a tie for the man who was now far away. But the man in front of him had treated his wound just a few days ago.

Who was the one who had been by his side every day…?

3

That day, Li Xun found out his boyfriend was a twin.

“So,” Li Xun said woodenly, looking at the two identical men in front of him, “which one of you did I tie a tie for that morning?”

Jiang Linyuan, the older twin, said, “Me.”

“And who treated my wound?”

Jiang Yuqiao, the younger twin, said, “Me.”

As soon as he spoke, Jiang Linyuan shot him a glare and snarled, “He’s my boyfriend. Who said you could touch him?”

Jiang Yuqiao sneered. “You were out buying a diamond ring with a woman.”

Jiang Linyuan snapped, “I can explain!”

Li Xun closed his eyes. “Quiet. I’m not done asking questions!”

He continued, “Then… who was the one who kept going with me until dawn that night?”

Jiang Linyuan’s expression changed. He shot to his feet, grabbed Jiang Yuqiao by the collar, and punched him.

“You son of a! I haven’t even kissed him yet, and you already… you already did that with him…!!”
