"Young Master, may I ask your profound and unique insights on the romantic passions of Lord Long?"

"None."

"Even without practical research and firsthand experience, haven't you been curious?"

"No."

"Then if a man takes a fancy to you and wants to do something about it, what will you do?"

"Who dares?"

"Uh, matters of the heart cannot be stopped by your coercion and threats. What if... as it happens, someone who can't control themselves takes a fancy to you, can you... accept it and try it out with him?"

"You?"

"Na, Nani?! Me... me?! Of course not! I hold the utmost awe and respect for you, my senior, master, and elder! I am full of affection and admiration! In my eyes, you are my deity, my benefactor, and my supreme lord! I would never and dare not secretly harbor such heinous, heaven-defying, wicked thoughts toward you..."

Chapter 1: Prologue

Wisps of morning light filtered through as the incense burner released curling trails of light smoke.

The estate of the current powerful chancellor was in utter chaos.

Because—

The chancellor's young master had been driven to the city gates yesterday by his own power-hungry, ruthless father who unleashed hounds on him, accidentally falling into the river and running a high fever ever since.

The reason?

...It's a long story!

"Hey—hey! Wake up! Young Master! Wake up!"

On the sandalwood soft couch, Young Master Li Chenjing breathed weakly and shallowy, his pale, handsome, sickened face beading with a thin layer of sweat.

His long eyelashes trembled as his hazy, crystalline eyes opened a tiny slit. Running a high fever, he sat up, cast a sideways glance at the green-robed young scholar beside his sickbed who reeked heavily of heavy cosmetics, breathed lightly, murmured through thin lips, and spoke his very first words—

"Who are you?"

"Hey hey, Young Master, you don't even remember me? Aren't you being a bit too unconscionable? Last night the two of us spent a thrilling, soul-stirring night together, and it was precisely for you that your chancellor dad set the dogs on me to chase me eight hundred li, leaving me covered in dog drool. With such a loyal, chivalrous, and heroic image of stabbing oneself in the back for a friend, you actually ask who I am? Zhu Bafu, it's Zhu Bafu! Young Master Ba of Wuya Bookstore!"

"Oh." The frail young master on the bed looked as though he understood, then opened his lips again, "Who—am I?"

"You aren't going to tell me you've clichédly gotten amnesia, are you?"

"Mm. It seems that way."

"Could you not use such a calm tone to tell me such an uncalm piece of news? Damn it, you didn't really get amnesia, did you? You just fell into the water and soaked for a bit. I fell into the water right along with you and I'm totally fine. How can a big man like you be so delicate? It's—it's simply disgraceful to us men!"

"You're scolding me."

"Hey hey! What do you mean by hugging your blanket tightly, retreating into the corner, and shivering? I have no intention of violating your chastity!"

"You don't?"

"Who authorized you to answer me in a tone that sounds so expectant?!"

"Ugh—because it seems I've remembered something."

"Young Master, are you toying with me? Make up your mind already on whether you actually have amnesia."

"It seems I lost my memory, but I still remember a little."

"What do you still remember?!"

"I like you."

"You, say, what, what?!"

"I don't remember who I am, but I remember—I like you."

"I, am, a, man!"

"I know. That's why we planned to elope together, got chased by my dad's dogs, and fell into the water, right?" He bloomed with a smile, pure and elegant.

Right? Right my foot! Of course not!

Things are not like this at all!

There is no pure romantic relationship between the two of them... uh, nor any wicked male-on-male relationship!

Between the two of them—

Forget it, it's a long story!

Sit down and calmly explain their pure male-on-male relationship to him!

The true face of the matter looks like this—

Author has something to say:

=.= Finally moved the student council over~~ Because readers kept asking if it could be read online, keke, the typist's version is probably the published censored version, so I specially came to release the original version. More importantly, QAQ, I hope to write under the whipping of my readers. Alright, I admit I'm just a M who lacks motivation without getting whipped~~~ So, without further ado, here's the story~~ Many of you have probably read the earlier parts, and Sakura will exclusively serialize the unreleased Volume 2 on Jinjiang! Look forward to it!

Chapter 1

Dear Butterfly,

You are so beautiful, a single glance back overturns half a lifetime. You are so charming, alluring and captivating like tender spring water.

The passion in my pulse has been ignited like a firework fuse, and I am willing to burst forth into brilliant fire-butterflies for you.

At this moment, I only want to hear you say that you---are willing to accept my out-of-control passion.

I am willing to let my waiting turn to mortal dust, for you to trample as you please.
