Also known as: "I Hold You Dearly, But You Think of Me as a Date"
He Yangyang had always thought that he and Xu Yaochen were brothers for life.
Until one day, his little sister, He Yangya, munched on potato chips and said, "Bro, the way Xu Yaochen looks at you is exactly how I look at spicy hot pot."
He Yangyang: "?"
He Yangya: "Like he wants to gobble you up."
He Yangyang: "???"
Xu Yaochen never thought he'd fall for a golden-retriever type guy who grinned foolishly all day.
He thought he'd hidden it well, until one day He Yangyang leaned close to his ear and asked with a grin, "Xu Yaochen, do you like me?"
Xu Yaochen (calm on the outside): "...You finally figured it out?"
He Yangyang (his smile freezing): "...Wait, I was joking?!"
Xu Yaochen (calmly gripping the back of his neck): "Too late."
Cheerful, oblivious golden retriever x secretly affectionate, protective Maine Coon
Easygoing, food-loving calico x charming, devoted black swan
Two couples: the main pairing is He Yangyang x Xu Yaochen, and the secondary pairing is He Yangya x Xu Zhulin. A lighthearted, funny little sweet romance with little angst (we'll try to have none).
No ridiculous misunderstandings, no forced breakups, and no going-abroad plotline (I've suffered enough). Just two guys naturally going from brothers to lovers. All that matters is the sweetness!
