Long Time No See

[Short-tempered, explosive cool guy bottom VS sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside top]

Blurb:

On the first day of college, Li Qingye heard that he had somehow acquired a “brother-in-law.”

He was still wondering which of his sisters had taken in a younger boyfriend, and how the whole university seemed to know about it, when he looked up and saw the person everyone was surrounding as he walked over.

Seeing this walking rack of labels again, Li Qingye found that although the labels on him had been updated, he was still just as annoying.

“Student Union President,” “Model Student,” “Outstanding Student Representative,” “Outstanding Class Cadre”...

As he listened to everyone introduce him, Li Qingye’s face visibly soured.

What’s it like to hear on the first day of school that the person you’ve been annoyed by since childhood is now dating your twin sister?

Li Qingye’s answer: Today, right now, the two of us should find the tallest building on campus and jump off together.

After Zhao Xu’s parents passed away, he spent his childhood moving from place to place with his little sister, who couldn’t yet speak, dependent on other people for shelter.

The time he spent with the Li family was the happiest period of his life.

When everyone else treated the siblings with polite warmth and distant courtesy, only the Li family’s youngest son, a boy around his age, showed him the most passionate dislike.

That feeling was the only thing Zhao Xu remembered as genuine from his youth.

The boy’s puffed-up cheeks, the hurt and anger in his face after being scolded, and the look in his eyes, always ready to pounce and bite Zhao Xu to death.

It was all so sincere.

He loved every bit of it.

Years later, he saw that look again.

He still loved it.

Even later, Li Qingye still found Zhao Xu annoying.

He was annoyed by the warm chest that pressed close to him in the middle of the night, by Zhao Xu’s endless questions of “Does this feel good?”, and by the way Zhao Xu bit his limp fingers and said he wanted to go again.

“It’s been so long. How are you still this annoying?”

“Yeah, it’s been a long time.”
