[Tsundere young master bottom × Sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside CEO top]
Everyone in Haicheng knew that the young masters of the Shen and Cen families had grown up together as childhood friends. Shen Yi and Cen Muyan had countless arguments over thirteen years, but they always made up moments later. Everyone thought their bond would last a lifetime.
Until one day in their second year of high school, Cen Muyan confronted Shen Yi: “You forced my admirer to transfer schools just because you couldn't stand him?”
Shen Yi shot back coldly, “Don't flatter yourself.” Those words shattered their friendship once and for all.
A month later, news arrived that Shen Yi was going to study in England. Cen Muyan clutched his phone and stood in the rain all night, but in the end, he didn't go to see him off.

In his senior year of college, Cen Muyan landed with an acceptance letter from the University of London in hand, only to run into Shen Yi at the welcome reception. The unruly boy from his past had become an accomplished alumnus representative in a sharp suit.
Cen Muyan tried to avoid him, but Shen Yi kept closing in. When Cen Muyan was scammed while renting a place, a mysterious person resolved it overnight. When he fell ill and was hospitalized, someone stayed by his side all night. Even when an admirer approached, Shen Yi quietly intercepted them.
Cen Muyan finally snapped. “CEO Shen, we haven't had anything to do with each other for a long time.”
But Shen Yi clutched their middle-school photo, his eyes reddening. “Back then, I did it because… I never told you it was because… I was afraid you'd find out I liked you.”
Shen Yi, who had been proud all his life, pulled him into his arms on a rainy night. “I lost. I lost because I didn't dare tell you I loved you.”
I don't want to admit defeat because I love you. I loved you to the very end, and luckily, it was still you.
