The rain lashed against the windows of the yellow taxi as Lu Chen clutched his robe against his chest as if he was trying to ward off the cold and panic, his heart pounding a frantic rhythm against his ribs. He kept glancing out the rear window, half-expecting a sleek black Maybach or a dark Mercedes to burst through the storm behind them."You alright back there, son?" the driver asked, eyeing him in the rearview mirror. "You look like you're escaping from a cartel.""Worse," Lu Chen muttered, shivering slightly in his damp sweater. "Billionaires."When the taxi finally pulled up to a quiet, dimly lit alleyway on the edge of the old residential district, Lu Chen practically threw the fare at the driver and bolted up the narrow concrete stairs of a four-story brick building.His studio apartment was tiny, run-down, and tucked away behind a creaky wooden door with peeling green paint. It didn't have marble countertops, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, or a personal chef. The radiator cl

The night air was cool and crisp as Lu Chen walked down the quiet, tree-lined street back toward Lu Xi's apartment building. In his hands, he carried two heavy plastic grocery bags stuffed with frozen dumplings, instant ramen, snacks, and three fresh boxes of soft tissues.For the first time in days, his chest felt light. Lu Xi had eaten a full bowl of soup earlier, and the color was finally coming back to her face. Seeing his sister smile again made every hour of staying up late to comfort her completely worth it.Lu Chen hummed a mindless tune to himself, shifting the heavy bags to his right hand as he turned the final corner onto Lu Xi's block.Then, he stopped dead in his tracks.Parked directly in front of the narrow entrance to Lu Xi’s apartment building was a sleek, midnight-black Mercedes-Benz sedan.Leaning casually against the hood of the car, with his arms crossed over his chest in a dark charcoal suit, was Gu Yan. Standing right beside him on the pavement, leaning against

For the next three days, Lu Chen felt like a man walking through a field of sweet, sticky, suffocating honey.True to their word, neither Xie Huai nor Gu Yan pushed him. There were no aggressive demands, no terrifying threats, and no forced intimacy. Instead, they launched an all-out offensive of terrifying, relentless affection designed to completely erode every single one of Lu Chen’s defenses.If Lu Chen so much as glanced at the kitchen counter, Gu Yan was instantly there, handing him a glass of fresh-squeezed juice or a plate of gourmet pastries he had personally prepared. When Lu Chen sat on the couch to watch TV, Xie Huai would wordlessly sit beside him, pull a plush cashmere blanket over Lu Chen's lap, and casually let Lu Chen lean against his massive, warm shoulder while casually tossing endless snacks into his lap.They paid for everything, catered to his every fleeting whim, and spoke to him in low, unbelievably tender tones that made Lu Chen’s cheeks burn red twenty-four

Karma, however, had a cruel sense of timing.By that afternoon, the stress of the past two weeks, the wet rain from his escape, and the late-night panic attacks finally caught up to Lu Chen’s immune system.When Gu Yan knocked gently on his bedroom door around 3:00 PM to offer him lunch, he found Lu Chen buried under three heavy blankets, shivering violently despite his face glowing a bright, unhealthy flush."Lu Chen?" Gu Yan’s calm tone instantly vanished. He set the tray down on the nightstand and stepped up to the bed, resting the back of his cool, slender hand against Lu Chen’s forehead.Gu Yan hissed softly through his teeth. "You are burning up."Within five minutes, the entire atmosphere of the penthouse shifted from playful domesticity to absolute, hyper-focused caretaking.Xie Huai strode into the room holding a basin of ice water and a soft hand towel, his face dark with quiet concern. He didn't say a word, simply sitting heavily on the edge of the mattress, wringing out th

The bedroom was quiet, lit only by the warm amber glow of the bedside lamps.Xie Huai’s touch was surprisingly patient for a man built like a fortress. His large, calloused hands moved over Lu Chen’s skin with deliberate care, lifting the sweater over his head and tossing it aside. Every touch, every low growl against Lu Chen’s neck was designed to ease the tension humming through Lu Chen’s frame.Lu Chen lay back against the pillows, his chest rising and falling in quick, shallow breaths. His face was flushed, but the knot of anxiety in his stomach had loosened completely.True to his word, Gu Yan remained seated right beside him on the edge of the mattress. His fingers stayed securely intertwined with Lu Chen’s, his thumb lightly stroking the back of Lu Chen’s hand in a steady, reassuring rhythm."Look at me, Lu Chen," Gu Yan whispered softly, leaning close enough that his dark, velvety eyes were all Lu Chen could see. "Just breathe. Focus on my voice."Lu Chen nodded, squeezing Gu
