Description:

A ruthless sponsor vs. a scheming but clumsy gold-digger. A shameless short story about a gold-digger who, through his own scheming, ends up trapping them both in a pit of pure love.

The bottom is an artsy, “green tea” man whose funding as an international student was cut off. He pretends to be frail and melancholic, hoping to snag a well-known, rich beauty for a relationship.

“The wind is so strong, can you see my soul? In the negative space of existentialism, if I had an extra movie ticket, would you be willing to come with me?” After sending a handwritten letter to the rich beauty, the green tea bottom receives a reply the next day: “See you at the cinema at 10:30 PM.”

The green tea bottom gets all dressed up and goes to the cinema, only to find the rich beauty’s brother, who looks like trouble, standing there. The man with wheat-colored skin crosses his arms and gives him a hostile smile: “What’s wrong? I’m the one with the ticket. Are you not happy?”

The movie is a thrilling ordeal; his arm is pinned to the sofa, and he can’t even escape. On the verge of tears, the green tea bottom gets his face patted provocatively by the other man.

“Trying to gold-dig my sister? Your methods are too crude.”

His voice is contemptuous, promising revenge for the smallest slight.

The top is a ruthless rich guy. After winning the family inheritance battle and sending his enemies to jail, he flies to North America to check on his younger sister.

He then discovers a classic big-city “green tea” gold-digger hovering around his little sis. The green tea gold-digger writes poetry on fallen leaves every day, complete with long hair, an earring, and a collarbone chain, constantly striking an artsy pose with extremely crude methods.

The top messes with him for a while and finds that this gold-digging man is not good enough to take care of his sister, but he’s quite interesting to have around as his own little “green tea” pet.

The top doesn’t believe a guy with an earring can be straight and takes the opportunity of a trip to “bend” him gay.

“Gold-digging men or women, it’s all the same. Don’t play hard to get with me.”

He never expected the green tea bottom to have a natural talent for this, just that he’d been playing in the wrong league. In the top’s bed, he’s in a mix of pain and pleasure, his eyes teary. Out of fear, he actively offers his lips, yielding to every demand, begging for kisses and touches.

The way he obediently lets himself be kissed is quite endearing.

After they’re done, the bottom, despite the pleasure, is heartbroken.

Starting today, he can no longer be a straight man trying to land a rich beauty. How can an “unclean” man receive a rich beauty’s love?

He sulks for two days during the trip, only to turn around and see the top has bought him a glacier-white Birkin bag. The top has never dated but figures this is how you keep someone, whether it’s a man or a woman.

He quickly researches how his buddies do it, tells the bottom to fly with him as a travel companion, and takes him shopping at Miu Miu upon arrival.

But the bottom gets “tilted” (enraged).

The bottom is enraged only because he thinks the top is fobbing him off with something from the second-hand market at a 70% discount. The bottom solemnly declares that luxury goods insult his artistic soul; if he’s going to buy something, it should be art (the kind that circulates and holds its value).

He initially wants to return the glacier-white bag and scold the top for bullying him, but before returning it, he researches the second-hand market and discovers that Birkin bags hold their value better than art. So he clutches the bag and doesn’t want to give it back.

The top watches the bottom hugging the bag with a smugly delighted look and finds it hilarious, having never seen someone so easily pleased by small gains.

Keeping a “green tea” but clumsy gold-digger is actually quite interesting.

He pats the sofa, wanting the bottom to come over and sleep with him again. The bottom obediently walks over, lowers his head, and starts licking his fingers. Having received money, the bottom becomes obedient and clever, seemingly never saying an unnecessary word.

But after licking for a while, he looks up: “What you said about paying my tuition, is it true?”

His eyes are hopeful, cautious.

At first, the top just wanted to keep a small pet for his amusement.

Later, the top wanted to trap him at home, to be his obedient little “green tea” pet.

And even later, the top, vengeful as ever, reveals his true nature. However much the bottom has gold-dug from him, he will make the bottom use his entire life to pay it back.

Finally, they lived a wonderful and happy life together. A local magazine published the story of their century-long entanglement. As they lay on lounge chairs together, they were surprised to find that the young reporters of later generations had abbreviated their story of a “broken pot matching a rotten lid” (a perfect, if flawed, match) into two words:

“True Love.”
