[Two male leads + secret crush + childhood friends + bittersweet push and pull + mutual devotion + only ever each other]
[Angst first, sweetness later]
[Stoic, restrained, rugged top Chen Ji + sharp-tongued but soft-hearted designer bottom Xia Yi]
[Side couple: Ke Chi x Zhong Shi]
When Chen Ji was ten, a new neighbor moved in next door. The family argued every day. One day, the new neighbor leaned out the window and said to him, “From now on, my name is Xia Yi, not Zhan Yi.”
Chen Ji said, “My name is still Chen Ji.”
“I know,” the new neighbor laughed. “You’re Chen Hua Chi and Yu He’s son.”
Xia Yi asked if he thought the new name sounded better. Chen Ji said yes, and kept calling him that for more than a decade.
One day, Chen Ji suddenly got a call from Chen Hua Chi, who said he was together with Xia Shu Hui and wanted to buy a house and get married.
Chen Ji didn’t agree, but Xia Yi did.
From that day on, Xia Yi realized that Chen Ji was avoiding him, so he hurried back from out of town to make his position clear. “Chen Ji, you know I’m on your side, right?”
Chen Ji’s expression didn’t change, but his fingertips curled slightly.
No matter how Xia Yi tried to placate him, Chen Ji seemed set on distancing himself. In the end, Xia Yi stopped trying.
He said, “A happy occasion turning into a funeral. Just great.”
…
It's good to watch~ but Xia Yi is too slow to wake up, hahahaha, it's about seventy or eighty chapters. But we quickly tried to get together, and they were so sweet together. 😳 Chen Jiyan always kept it in his heart. If he was braver, maybe he could be together sooner. After all, two people can't live without each other. Fortunately, in the end, Xia Yi felt sorry for Chen Ji when the two sides were in a dilemma and had been struggling to support her. She also "went to the meeting alone" for her brother's sake. A perfect match! Menghulu and his son met a cheerful and enthusiastic mother and son [sending my heart] [sending my heart]
