| Gloomy, socially anxious actor bottom x steady, composed big-shot top |
Just after the New Year, a piece of gossip appeared on Tieba:
The boss of a certain entertainment group had forced Yu Shaobai, a rookie actor under contract with the company, into an illicit deal.
Unwilling to compromise, Yu Shaobai was preparing to quit the industry.
The poster hinted that the big shot who loved defiling "pretty boys" and had a rotten private life was none other than Shi Songnian, CEO of Chenyin Group.
After that, Yu Shaobai really did disappear. His social media accounts went silent, and the movie that had seemed poised to make him a star vanished without a trace.
But Yu Shaobai had only just graduated and was so obscure he was practically transparent. Calling him an eighteenth-tier actor would be generous.
Shi Songnian was even more mysterious. There wasn't a single public photo of him, so the post soon sank out of sight.
A few months later,
a backpacking travel blogger who never showed his face became a sensation.
ID: Resonance.
In two years, he gained tens of millions of followers across platforms,
all because his voice was as lovely as a violin, like mulled wine on a snowy night.
Sometimes his silhouette appeared in his videos. He was tall and lean,
and in a white shirt, his shoulders and neck were sharply defined.
His calves were long and straight beneath his shorts...
Men and women alike in the comments section
all called him "husband."
Then one day, a video shot to the top of the trending topics.
At a baseball game in a small town overseas,
the kiss cam landed on two Asian men.
They seemed like strangers, but they locked eyes and shared a lingering, passionate kiss.
Netizens were desperate to know:
They're so handsome, but what are their names? Their accounts?
If they're Chinese, why haven't they been cast in a movie yet?
The next second, two fan communities were sent into a frenzy.
One of the men on the kiss cam was Yu Shaobai.
Resonance's fans recognized him too.
Before the game, he'd posted a photo of his ticket stub, with the corner of a hem visible. The seat angle and the clothes matched perfectly.
Yu Shaobai and Resonance both trended,
but the other man remained nameless and unknown.
A few days later, a new post appeared on a private forum,
pointing straight at the other man: the big shot Shi Songnian.
The hand holding Yu Shaobai's face wore an emerald-green thumb ring,
the very one Shi Songnian had personally bought at auction three weeks earlier.
Netizens stormed Chenyin Group's official Weibo account:
So your boss drove him out of the industry?
What about the movie Yu Shaobai made? How long does your boss plan to keep it for himself?
Note:
One-on-one pairing. From beginning to end, they only have eyes for each other, body and soul.
