Honest and dull laborer top x Sensitive and meek dumpling shop little boss bottom

Yan Xu had always been a marginal figure in the family since he was young. His mom doesn’t love him, his brother doesn’t care about him, and his stepdad treated him as an outsider.

On his birthday, his mom told him to come home for a meal, and even told him to pick up the cake she ordered at the dessert shop.

Yan Xu was immensely happy; this was the first time in over twenty years that his mom remembered his birthday and celebrated it for him.

Yan Xu hurried home full of expectation, but found out that he was being too sentimental and misunderstood. The meal was to celebrate his older stepbrother, Fang Jincheng, return. The cake was also prepared for him.

He awkwardly and embarrassingly returned to his little shop, but saw that someone was waiting at the store entrance.

This man was called Chi Ye. He was an ironworker at a nearby construction site. He comes to this shop to eat dumplings every now and then.

So, he invited Chi Ye inside for dumplings. He also told him that today was his birthday and wanted him to wish him a happy birthday.

Unexpectedly, he received a birthday present from Chi Ye the next day. The other party wore frayed nylon gloves when he handed the present over to him.

This gift from an outsider made Yan Xu, who had never been loved, felt flattered. It also became an opportunity for the two to become familiar with each other.

Not long after, he completely cut ties with his family, hiding in the corner and wiping away his tears silently. Chi Ye hugged him, saying, “Since they don’t love you, I will.”

Since then, an outsider became a loved one, and Chi Ye became his lover.
