Bro, Give Me a Kiss

When Chang Enzhi came to study at university in Jing City, he was entrusted to Lu Zhenglin’s care.

Lu Zhenglin knew this was his chance to repay the Chang family, and solemnly promised, “Enzhi is like my own little brother. While he’s at university, I’ll visit him every week and make sure he doesn’t fail any classes or get into trouble, and that he graduates on time.”

Chang Enzhi also promised his father in front of Lu Zhenglin, “As long as you let me go to university in Jing City, I’ll come home after graduation, settle down and work, get married, have children, and carry on the Chang family line.”

But as soon as his father left, Chang Enzhi placed a magazine of provocative men’s fashion in the most conspicuous spot on the coffee table.

Lu Zhenglin silently looked away. “The kid’s grown up. He likes dressing up.”

Chang Enzhi gave a cold laugh, his gaze scraping over Lu Zhenglin’s ears.

Chang Enzhi rented one of Lu Zhenglin’s properties, brought different boys home right under his nose, mixed drinks, got tattoos, and partied all night.

Lu Zhenglin smiled as he tried to keep up appearances. “You can have some fun, just don’t go too far.”

Chang Enzhi stared into Lu Zhenglin’s eyes and asked, “Does liking men count as going too far?”

During the summer break of his sophomore year, Lu Zhenglin received Chang Enzhi’s transcript showing six failed courses. He drove out in the middle of the night and hauled him out of a gay bar.

Lu Zhenglin: “If you don’t pass your make-up exams, you’re not allowed to sing at bars anymore.”

Chang Enzhi handed Lu Zhenglin a withdrawal application. “Starting next week, you don’t have to come see me anymore.”

A crack appeared in Lu Zhenglin’s composed expression. “Enzhi, I’m going to keep an eye on you.”

Chang Enzhi raised an eyebrow. “Lu Zhenglin, that’s not up to you.”

At a music festival, Chang Enzhi’s surprise reward for his fans was a one-minute French kiss with his very first fan.

The fans below the stage screamed and cheered. One of them clutched a cassette of Chang Enzhi’s first cover and rushed onto the stage.

Lu Zhenglin, dressed in a suit, stopped the frenzied fan. “You cut in line. I’m the only one who’s heard his debut.”

Chang Enzhi gripped Lu Zhenglin’s tie and licked the bead of blood from the corner of his mouth. “Good student, liking men is wrong.”

Lu Zhenglin could barely breathe with the tie pulled tight. His voice was husky. “An older brother loving his little brother is only natural.”

*

When Lu Zhenglin was ten, both his parents died. His father’s dying wish was for him to go live with his old comrade Chang Jingqiu. “Uncle Chang has a little boy. From now on, you two should look out for each other like real brothers.”

Chang Jingqiu raised Lu Zhenglin as his own son for eight years, and Lu Zhenglin spent eight years being a good big brother to Chang Enzhi.

Humiliating Chang Enzhi in front of his friends.

Lu Zhenglin had grown used to the young Chang Enzhi disliking him and giving him a hard time. But when Chang Enzhi wrote his first love song for him, Lu Zhenglin changed his university application to Jing University’s law and political science program, as far from home as possible.

The day he left, Chang Enzhi’s eyes were red as he threatened him. “Bro, I haven’t even taken the college entrance exam yet. I’ll date, smoke, skip class, go to bars...”

Lu Zhenglin frowned. “Enzhi, I can’t keep an eye on you anymore.”

Later, while searching all over the house for the pack of cigarettes Chang Enzhi had hidden, Lu Zhenglin regretted it countless times. “If only I’d kept looking after him back then.”

“Honey, could I have another five thousand in pocket money?”

“Depends on how you behave.”

Duan Zheng knelt and lowered his head. As he served Gu Peifeng, he secretly glanced up.

Only at times like this could he see a hint of desire escape from the corners of Gu Peifeng’s icy eyes.

At an international forum, Gu Peifeng delivered a fluent speech in German. Duan Zheng fell head over heels and chased after him for three years.

Only after they got married did they discover they were both tops.

Neither was willing to bottom.

Duan Zheng couldn’t bear to leave, but couldn’t go without sex either.

He proposed a deal to Gu Peifeng: they’d take turns, fifty-fifty, each being the top once.

Gu Peifeng adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and coolly spat out one word: “Get lost.”

Duan Zheng stormed off and left home for two days.

When he came back, he received news that Gu Peifeng had disappeared.

He flew to thirty-six countries but couldn’t find him.

Then he unexpectedly woke up reborn at the age of sixteen.

Duan Zheng: This time, I have to get ahead of the game and restore the top’s honor.

When he rushed to find sixteen-year-old Gu Peifeng, he saw him collapsed in the rain, his slender, pale legs covered in wounds, blood mingling with the mud.

Duan Zheng hurried over to help. The moment he reached out, terror filled Gu Peifeng’s pale little face.

Duan Zheng awkwardly drew back his hand. “You probably won’t believe this, but I’m your future husband.”

Gu Peifeng got to his feet, limped away, and walked forward with his head down, clutching his schoolbag soaked through with muddy water.

Following him and growing more doubtful by the minute, Duan Zheng wondered, “Is this really that heartless, crafty fox of his?”

When he followed him all the way to the police station and was detained for suspected human trafficking, he was certain. “This has to be my wife! Only my wife would be this good at setting people up!”

His wife hadn’t grown up yet or become a rising star in the business world.

He was still a homeless little fox.

*

Gu Peifeng had no mother growing up, and his father abandoned him.

At sixteen, his aunt kicked him out of the house.

Then he met a strange older brother.

He bought him clothes when it was cold.

He installed an air conditioner for him when it was hot.

He even brought him three meals every day.

Sixteen-year-old Gu Peifeng didn’t believe he could be lucky. He donated the clothes, took down the air conditioner, and dumped out the food.

One day, while he was gnawing on a steamed bun, the strange older brother caught him and dragged him into KFC, pushing him into a chair. “You’re so young and already think my cooking tastes bad? What’s going to happen when you’re grown up?!”

Gu Peifeng really wanted to stay alert. But... the fried chicken smelled so good.

*

Much later, Gu Peifeng had a dream.

In the dream, he achieved his ambitions, no longer had to struggle to make ends meet, and found someone to love.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and developed brain cancer.

He hid his death from everyone, but his spirit saw his lover weeping bitterly at his grave. “Honey, in our next life, I’ll let you be on top. I’ll give in to you in everything.”
