[Older, possessive, daddy-type top x Clingy, hopelessly romantic bottom]
In his previous life, Song Xingyan was the perfect student: handsome, well-off, and kind, with only one flaw, a complete lack of brains. Despite his good-boy image, he publicly came out as gay with Zhou Chong, a delinquent from outside school who had no proper job.
Everyone said he was finished, that his life had gone off the rails and he was in for a miserable, filthy existence.
Six months later, Song Xingyan showed up covered in gold and jewelry, ready to prove his former critics wrong.
How was his life filthy? Five or six housekeepers looked after him every day.
How was it a mess? Zhou Chong had never even held anyone else's hand. Song Xingyan was his first in everything.
If anyone dared say his life was bad, he'd use the huge diamond ring on his hand to scratch up all the windows in their house.
Those who refused to admit defeat said he was being kept, and that there was nothing special about being someone's boy toy.
Song Xingyan was so furious that he dragged his boyfriend off to get married. But just after they received their little red marriage certificate, he was suddenly back to square one, reborn as a child.
With a little more sense in his head, Song Xingyan immediately realized this was a great chance to meet his boyfriend earlier.
The moment he said the name Zhou Chong, his parents sighed.
It turned out his boyfriend had had a miserable childhood: his father died, his mother ran away, and he had to live as a dependent in his aunt's home, where he was treated like a servant and constantly bullied.
Song Xingyan immediately resolved: I'm going to keep him!
When he found Zhou Chong with his piggy bank, Zhou Chong was in an alley fighting someone who had snapped one of his lollipops in half.
Looking at the people sprawled all over the ground, Song Xingyan spat. "Serves them right! Who told them to bully my boyfriend?"
But... his husband, who he remembered as a gentle, homemaker type, had this side to him? That was so exciting!
In the dim hallway, Zhou Chong used his bloodied hands to painstakingly piece together his "treasure." Alert to someone behind him, he turned and glared.
But then he saw the clean, familiar face he had longed for, reaching out and asking him to come along.
As if possessed, Zhou Chong took his hand. The instant they touched, he suddenly flew into a rage and flung him away. "Get lost!"
He was too filthy now, completely unworthy of Song Xingyan.
After his roar, a sob suddenly sounded in the cramped space. He looked up in guilt and saw that Song Xingyan's eyes had already reddened as he pursed his lips and cried sadly.
"Sniff... You yelled at me!"
Zhou Chong panicked at once. He found a clean spot on his clothes and wiped away Song Xingyan's tears. The boy who had just been so fierce softened completely. "Don't cry... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you... Tell me what you want. I'll do anything."
Everyone thought Zhou Chong would drop out soon. He got into fights and couldn't afford his tuition.
But as soon as he had a tagalong following him everywhere, that cold face began to smile, even if only for one person.
He stopped fighting, kept his emotions in check, and could afford his tuition. He devoted all his time to taking care of Song Xingyan and becoming a better person.
A friend asked Song Xingyan, "You really want to be friends with someone like him?"
Song Xingyan: "Who said I want to be his friend? I want to woo him and make him my boyfriend."
Zhou Chong overheard and quietly blushed.
In his previous life, Zhou Chong had kept many secrets from Song Xingyan. The most important was that he had already been in love with him for years before the first time Song Xingyan remembered meeting him.
He wanted to possess him, to mark everything that belonged to him, just like a puppy wearing a dog tag. He wanted to leave a mark on Song Xingyan, too, right on his heart.
