“It’s better to collapse the company first, then take the opportunity to recapture it in its downtime.”
That was the first time Fang Jingqiu had such a dark thought.
There was one person, carrying with him a whole body of cold air, who occupied the other half of his bed as if it was a matter of course.
That person who followed him for four years still chose in the end the Fang Jingqiu who had nothing.
He said, “But BOSS, if you choose a road that is too long and rugged, you might get lost.”
It was then that Fang Jingqiu knew that the other person probably really didn’t want to see him turn into that kind of person.
Just four years ago, when Fang Jinqiu’s father introduced people from the underworld to pave the way for his son’s career, he had asserted his refusal.
At that time, that person had said with a face full of undisguised worship, “BOSS! You’re so handsome!”
(2)
Ever since Fang Jingqiu moved into Kang Yan’s home, he quickly realized that the other person was unreasonable.
He tied a white shirt around his waist when he came out of the bath, called him a flower on Gaoling behind his back, and had cheerfully pounced on him to put strange hair clips on his head.
He just didn’t expect that in the face of danger Kang Yan would move in front of him to block an attack without any regard for himself.
What was even more ridiculous was that Kang Yan acted as if it was nothing and only complained about the cold.
In high school when Fang Jingqiu had a rebellious period, his father had, with an iron rod in hand, said that he would break his legs.
At that time, Xiao Qian hadn’t become his girlfriend yet but this seemingly weak girl had stood in front of him and softly pleaded, “Uncle, don’t fight, don’t fight.”
It seemed that at that moment, he had decided he would take care of that girl for a lifetime.
It’s just that the human heart can change. He learned to pamper; she gave birth to a scheme.
After being betrayed, Fang Jingqiu no longer believed that someone would do things for him unconditionally.
So he asked Kang Yan, “What do you want.”
His former assistant thought about it for a long time, then lowered his eyes and said with a smile, “200,000.”
(3)
Kang Yan became a bit strange.
He still laughed at him, bought breakfast for him, and playfully looked at his purple teeth in front of the reflective door.
However, he didn’t chew buns with him while watching the financial news anymore, he would no longer complain, “BOSS, don’t be lazy and come wash the dishes,” and he secretly hid his little bear and flower hair clips.

… 200,000?
In the reflection of the glass, Fang Jingqiu tightened his lips.
(4)
He thought he would have to say a lot of apologies or do a lot of housework in order for Kang Yan to forgive him.
Unexpectedly, after apologizing, the tired eyes of the other person seemed to flash a small fire.
He said he was just a tiny, tiny bit angry.
He squinted intently and made a small gap between his two fingers.
Fang Jingqiu suddenly wanted to laugh.
He felt that this person was really good.
So good that… he wanted to hold him in his arms, rub his messy hair, and say to him, “I’ve wronged you.”
(5)
That day when Kang Yan was sick in bed, Fang Jingqiu went to meet his future business partners.
The restaurant was in a high-end clubhouse with a sparkling swimming pool outside. In the restaurant, two men sat opposite him.
Kang Yan and his father looked like they were made from the same mold.
“That kid ah, when he was little he was very sticky with me.”
“I abandoned that mother and child. After doing such a thing… he hates me a lot.”
The man next to him put his hand on Kang Yan’s father’s shoulder and patted him comfortingly.
“I know he choose to follow you, we can help you. In exchange, can you take care of him?”
“That kid… will soon be one year older.”
… Then, Kang Yan must also hate this kind of thing.
Being liked by a man.
Fang Jingqiu was silent, then seriously shook his head.
“I don’t agree. I will look after him but this is my heart’s desire. It can’t be used as a transaction.”
The two middle-aged men silently looked at the young man.
It was as if they could see their former selves who would do anything for love, not letting anything stain it. Disregarding how other people exaggerated, they held fast to themselves. It’s just that one was later influenced by society, resulting in him regretting his most beloved person.
The other was disheartened, giving up everything and sinking.
If it’s these two children… then they probably wouldn’t make it far.
(6)
Paper can’t hold fire.
[TN: 纸包不住火 – facts can’t be concealed]
Fang Jingqiu didn’t know that when he went out to buy Liu Ding, the other had already learned the truth by the time he returned home.
Kang Yan didn’t look angry, he wasn’t even sad about his concealment.
Fang Jingqiu looked at the familiar objects on the floor surrounding them and suddenly felt flustered.
It seemed as if in the next moment, this person would just disappear.
The word “brother” was blurted out.
He wanted to tie him to his side, no matter in what name.
As long as he could be with him, nothing else matters.
(7)
In fact, it wasn’t impossible to find him.
Late every night, Fang Jingqiu would go to a hidden corner of the convenience store and watch Kang Yan work.
Just quietly watching him.
Seeing him smile, he would sometimes feel distressed.
After watching for a long time, he found that Kang Yan would often say to the customers and the store manager:
“Go home.”
So every hour, he couldn’t help but pull out his phone and send him a message.
“Kang Yan, come home ba.”
(8)
That person’s face was red as he obediently laid on his back.
Under the stars, he made many many small demands in a whisper.
Clearly, he was a twenty-seven-year-old man but in front of him he always behaved like a child.
So cute.
Kang Yan tightened his arms around his neck and said in a slurred voice, “I won’t forgive you so easily.”
Fang Jingqiu felt that…
He liked Kang Yan so much his heart felt soft.
(9)
They ushered in Kang Yan’s “Laoda”.
That man, with a face full of provocation, had tousled Kang Yan’s hair and called him his family’s Kang Yan.
It’s not his family.
It’s my family.
Baby.
After he pulled him into the kitchen, Kang Yan had incredulously said that he was thinking too much.
… Fang Jingqiu felt that Kang Yan had no sense of crisis.
So, in front of that Laoda, he deliberately gave Kang Yan a loud good night kiss.
Hmph.
(10)
Kang Yan had said, “I don’t have any intention of staying.”
So Fang Jingqiu desperately tried to find reasons for him to stay.
He deliberately prevented him from watching the news, using various methods to elude him into thinking that everything was as usual.
Then, on a certain night, Kang Yan suddenly kissed him and said, “… It’s this kind of like.”
A long time later, Fang Jingqiu would sometimes wonder, if Kang Yan had really ran away to become a monk, would they never have a chance to be together.
But that won’t be the case.
They will definitely be together.
He will run to the ends of the earth to chase him back.
We’ve already met each other, came to know each other, and fell in love with one another. How could we not be willing to stay together.

Thank you for translating this sweet story!
Urgh I felt really sad. I dont know why.
Thank you for the novel
This is sweet. I feel sad when kang yan seems to have his heart broken. But thank God they make through. This fic show us a glimpse of hard live for same sex couple. But sweet. Thank you for translating it.
An emotional roller coaster ;_;
I usually read dark or heavy stuffs. This one is so fluffy yet warm. I found their chemistry is so profound. Both the MC and ML make me fall in love! I’m really confused when I started to read this, the PoV is confusing in the first chapter. Later, the world building can be found piece by piece and it’s amazing.
Thank you for this story, I can’t wait to try the next one (strong offense and defense)! Thank you so much dear translators!
Oh the fluff!!! I loved it!! Thank you for translating this amazingly sweet novel 😍
It was a very entertaining and sweet story.
That was so good! Wanted more BOSS point of view. I’m not sure why the MC got a little mad when he got questioned or started to hide the bear clips.
This was such a cute and sweet read, thank you for the hard work! 😊
i love it..not very elaborate but full of sense..a very warm story..the messages about life and love is very spot on..i think thou i feel its too short and i really want more..i can say that im very satisfied ,☺️☺️☺️💕💕💕
Oh my god I cried so much
The ending and the extra really make me crying so hard 😭😭
I’m really glad for them! 😭😭
Thanks for translating this fic. I really like reading short sweet fics. Very nice!

Thank you for translating! (o゜▽゜)o🤍

Thank you for reading!
This is so wholesome and cute, my heart ❤
thanks a lot for this cute story…….
I almost cried ok? This is not fair! This is cuteness overload topped with feels…
Thank you so much for translating this story and sharing it with all of us BL fujoshi/otaku. I hope you keep being so generous to us lazier fans lol
The way Kang Yan was either a) telling everyone to go home because that’s what he really wanted to do himself or b) telling BOSS to go home because he knew he was lingering nearby. This was such a sweet read, somewhat sad in the way Kang Yan had accepted his pining was going to be a heartbreak and didn’t even let himself hope. Just unconditional love, and loved himself enough to be himself around his BOSS too. I love this kind of character!! Thank you so much for making me feel so much through your TL.
Ahhhhh my daily dose of fluff has been received. Thank you 😍😍😍
just read this again and I am all soft and mushy.
thanks again! <3
I guess this story really shows what unconditional love truly means. I really love this story
this is so sweet!!! cute
I usually dont lik too too sweet story.
BUt this is just sooooooo adorable.
I really didn’t like the ML at first now I clearly understand what they say about – not judging a person without fully understanding them . This short story made me laugh, cry and at end I was smiling like a fool.
This is so heart warming, im glad ive read this! Thank you!!
” So in front of that Laoda, he deliberately gave Kang Yan a loud good night kiss. Hmph. ” (╥︣﹏᷅╥) ❤ MY HEARRRRRTTTTT!!!!
thanks for the chapter!
idk why i cried for such a sweet story… the bitter acceptance of unrequited love that they both felt before they got together hits so bad :’))
This was such a lovely read! Thank you very much for translating it!

It’s nice to read the BOSS’s POV

So sweet and uplifting, ty for tl’ing 💜
THANK YOU for your hard work. Short and sweet but surprisingly more emotional and deep than I expected. Great read. ❤🙏🏿
My heart was feeling very heavy today from all the continuous exams, and a reply under my comment on the previous chapter took me by surprise.
After reading this chapter again… The stress from the day’s worth of hard work, has been lifted a bit. Tysm.
This was so good and sweet thanks for the translation!
This was so flipping sweet!! Thank you guys for translating it!!

Thank you for translating this sweet story.
Thank you 🙂
It’s so Cute!!! I love it!!🤭🖤🖤
Will re-read this novel when I have free time ’cause this novel is just…chef’s kiss🦋🦋
I wanted wanted bit more angst, but if I really got it then it wouldn’t be the same. I wanted it to be a bit longer, but if it really was then it wouldn’t be the same. Conclusion? It’s perfect and I love reading this novel over and over again ❤ the sweet and chaste fluff makes me happy
Ahhhhh, this is so cute. Ngl, I cried in some chapters. The extra was so sweet! I love how it was written. Too bad it’s too short!!! But, that’s what makes it more beautiful.
The Unreliable Narrator was Painful! I honestly thought ML was in Denial or didn’t know his Affection toward MC was romantic love, i didnt expect it was just a Fcking Misunderstanding!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m happy but also my heart was left with scar. 😂😭
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR TRANSLATION THIS PRECIOUS NOVEL!!!
STILL WANT TO CRY, BA
Read it again. Cries every time.
Thank you again.
This story was so sweet, wholesome and heartwarming, I loved it 💕 thank you so much for all your hardwork!! :3
the boss is really OP, not wasting any time and tying his furen to himself in every possible way!
the heart clench was worth the fluff!
too cute!
This story was so sweet and that touch of angst really punched me in the feels! Thank you so much for the wonderful translation!
I’M ABOUT TO CRY FROM SWEETNESS AHH!!! WHEN IN MY LIFE WILL I EVER MEET SOMEONE LIKE THIS? WUWUWUWUWUWWU 😭😭
Thank you both, Drea and Mims ( ˘ ³˘)♥♥
Thank you for the translation~ so short but so cute and meaningful~! (๑•́ωก̀๑)
Oh my goodness. THIS is so good. It’s like finally finding a pure gem that thrashed all my former mind filled with mud and stone. Such feelings is what i needed right now
Love is really the strongest to bloom in your darkest times. They are so precious 🤧
IT’S MY THIRD TIME RE READING AND I’M STILL CRYING AT 3 AM ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS 😭😭
Omgg thank you so much for translating!!
My heart was scratched the entire way through. Thank you!
Is this angst? Is this fluff? Was this angsty fluff? I dunno… goes to eat an entire chocolate *. *huh, I have wine too
Thanks for the story
I loved the extra. I’m so happy it was included. It just added so much more intensity to their love. For being your first translation, you gave us a great little romantic adventure. Also, thank you Mims for your hard work at editing. I look forward to your next project.
Felt the earlier chapters were a bit too short and abrupt but this really tied up everything nicely together.
Thanks for the translation^^
