A flirtatious beauty x a devoted puppy
Leng Lin returned to campus after two years of traveling around the world.
They say the highest form of beauty is being impossible to distinguish as male or female, and Leng Lin was the perfect example. Add in that striking head of white hair, and he seemed almost otherworldly. He caused quite a stir on his very first day back at school.

"We still don't know if he likes men or women," someone whispered.
Leng Lin was used to comments like that. He wasn't even angry. He just replied politely, "I'm poor, so I only like people with money."
The speaker meant nothing by it, but Cheng Qian took the words to heart as he happened to walk by.
*
The first time Cheng Qian saw Leng Lin, he could think of only four words: a celestial being come to earth.
He likes rich people?
Cheng Qian had already resigned himself to admiring him from afar, but it seemed he might actually have a chance. Money was the one thing he had plenty of.
So he got someone to find Leng Lin's contact information, and every day, the first thing he did after waking up was send him money.
But Leng Lin never accepted it.
*
Cheng: [Is the amount I'm sending still not enough?]
[Could you give me your bank account number?]
Leng: [Why do you want to send me money?]
Cheng: [I remember you saying you liked people with money.]
Leng: [Do you want me to like you?]

Leng Lin lounged on the sofa at home, playing with a white snake in his hands. He couldn't help smiling at the messages on his phone.
He invited Cheng Qian to meet. The generous sugar daddy who threw money around with a wave of his hand over text was now nervously twiddling his fingers, the tips of his ears red.
"Do you want me to like you?" Leng Lin smiled faintly, and Cheng Qian's ears turned even redder.
Cheng Qian ventured, "I have... a lot of money."
"All right. From now on, you're my boyfriend." Leng Lin nodded.
"Huh?" Cheng Qian froze for a moment, then hurriedly pulled a card out of his bag and held it out to Leng Lin. "Here, take this. Could you move out of the dorms and live with... me?"
"My house is really big..."
At that, Leng Lin raised a hand to cover his mouth, barely suppressing a laugh. "All right."
After all those days with only snakes for company, life suddenly became a lot more interesting. Teasing this kid was so much fun.
*
Their relationship was heating up, and Leng Lin realized he was starting to like the kid for real.
One day, Cheng Qian asked if Leng Lin wanted to go out for dinner that evening. Normally, he would have agreed, but that night he had an important banquet he had to attend.
So Leng Lin gave him a flirtatious look and coaxed him: "I have some things to take care of tonight. Be good and wait for me at home."
Cheng Qian thought it over briefly, then obediently nodded.
At the birthday party for Qi Shao, the eldest son of Jiangcheng's richest man, Leng Lin had just gone over to say hello when he spotted Cheng Qian, who was supposed to be waiting for him at home. Cheng Qian was greeting Qi Shao with, "Brother."
Qi Shao smiled and introduced him to Leng Lin. "This is my younger brother."
Then he turned to Cheng Qian. "This is the current head of the Jiangcheng auction house."
Leng Lin had heard that Qi Shao had a beloved younger brother with a different surname who was kept well protected. But what were the odds of it being this kid...?
The auction house had connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world. How could Leng Lin possibly be short of money? Cheng Qian stared at Leng Lin with a dark expression.
*
That night, at home.
Cheng Qian rarely stayed silent like this, and Leng Lin knew he was upset. He went over and wrapped his arms around Cheng Qian's solid waist, then whispered against his ear, "Don't be mad. How about I teach you how to f*** me?"
