Blurb:

When Lin Tingxing was assigned to wash cars, he happened upon a stunning, cool and captivating long-haired beauty driving a gray-pink supercar. The sight of her completely pierced his buddy's heart.

The other person came closer. "Can I borrow a light, young man?"

That voice was cool and low, and that neck... an Adam's apple, for God's sake, even more prominent than his own!?

Lin Tingxing numbly held out his lighter. Sure, take it!

That evening, his mysterious arranged-marriage partner, someone he'd been promised to as a child but had never met, came to visit. He was ordered to go upstairs and bring them in.

The evening breeze stirred. Beneath a camphor tree, a tall figure leaned against the trunk with their back to him. His heart pounded as he went forward to greet them.

The person turned around, tilted their head, and blew out smoke. Narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed. "Young man? What, need to borrow a light?"

Staring at that stunning face, Lin Tingxing thought in a panic: My childhood betrothed is a man?! What am I supposed to do? I'm totally straight. I can't go gay, can I?

Well, though, he's always wanted an older brother...

Later, Lin Tingxing really did call him "Brother" this and "Brother" that, anytime and anywhere.

"Brother, it's okay. I'm here with you. Don't be scared."

"Brother, can I be on top this time? Please..."

"Brother, I love you..."

Before meeting Lin Tingxing, Jiang Si hated all intimacy and thought being alone was best.

After meeting Lin Tingxing, Jiang Si began to long for something lasting. Being his older brother wouldn't be so bad.

And later... Jiang Si thought he wanted to hold Lin Tingxing's hand, be his boyfriend, treat him well, and make him love only him.

The galaxy is vast. How lucky he was to finally draw into his arms the star that belonged to him alone.

When Qiao Sang jumped off that bridge, Fang Shan happened to be passing by. He desperately grabbed Qiao Sang's hand and pulled him up, then urged him not to do anything foolish again.

Fang Shan took him home, made him ginger tea, and gave him a soft blanket and the couch.

Qiao Sang thought he was such a good person. He felt so comfortable around him.

He liked being with Fang Shan, and eventually they became good friends.

Friendship isn't exclusive. In his third year of knowing Fang Shan, Qiao Sang seemed to have fallen in love.

Qiao Sang hated gay men more than anything. He'd always thought that any intimacy between men would disgust him, but when that beautiful boy curled up in Fang Shan's arms, the sight didn't make him want to throw up.

He had just one thought: to pull that person out of Fang Shan's arms!

And then...?

Qiao Sang suddenly understood. If he wanted Fang Shan for himself, this was how he should repay him: cling to him, possess him, and offer himself to him. That was only right!

That man had what he had, too. He was beautiful, and he could treat Fang Shan well.

*

Fang Shan knew how deep Qiao Sang's trauma ran, so he buried his feelings and never dared to speak of them. He could be Qiao Sang's older brother, friend, or best buddy, but never his lover.

He thought he could wait, even if the wait seemed to have no end.

Fang Shan didn't know how long he could wait, but whenever the person who depended on him came close and said he was tired, Fang Shan would still put his arms around him and comfort him tenderly.

He had felt resentful, but when he saw the disgust in Qiao Sang's eyes after testing the waters, he let it go.

Forget it. This wasn't so bad.

But one day, when Fang Shan came home, Qiao Sang was crouched outside his door, cigarette butts scattered at his feet.

He looked up, and at last, just as Fang Shan had prayed for every night, his beautiful eyes held only him.

"Fang Shan, don't choose him. Choose me, okay?"

Fang Shan thought that tonight, the gods had truly looked kindly upon him.

Three years ago, Fang Shan held Qiao Sang's hand and gave him a new life.

Three years later, Qiao Sang took Fang Shan's hand and shared his happiness with him.

[Bonus Scene]

After they got together, Teacher Qiao was always busy keeping both men and women away from Teacher Fang.

After dinner and a shower, Teacher Qiao put on Teacher Fang's white shirt, crawled into bed, straddled him, and reached up to undo the buttons.

Fang Shan was just about to speak when Qiao Sang covered his ears with his hands, leaned over, and whispered into his left ear, "That new intern who started today brought you lunch and touched your hand."

Fang Shan didn't catch all of it. He turned to look at him, his eyes asking what he meant.

Qiao Sang lowered his head and kissed him slowly for a while. Then he pulled back and whispered against Fang Shan's ear, one word at a time: "I'm jealous."

Fang Shan's Adam's apple bobbed. He wrapped an arm around Qiao Sang's waist and said hoarsely, "I heard you."

Qiao Sang's eyes curved as he kissed Fang Shan's earlobe and murmured, "Then you'll have to make it up to me tonight."

Fang Shan didn't answer. He kissed him and pressed him down into the blankets.

They carried on for a long time that night.

Xiao Xin had been in love with Shen Mu for as long as he'd known him. Sharing a place with him satisfied the unspeakable greed in his heart.

Sometimes he thought that it wouldn't be so bad if they just kept living together like this.

After all, he'd always been good at fooling himself.

But the greed he had indulged in spread uncontrollably, like a wildfire.

When he saw Shen Mu exchanging smiles with the girl who seemed perfect for him, Xiao Xin couldn't stop himself from "making a move" on him after he got drunk.

Shen Mu woke up with no memory of it and was still just as good to Xiao Xin.

But the better he treated him, the more Xiao Xin felt like a despicable person.

Xiao Xin told Shen Mu he was moving out, and began the painful process of getting over him.

Drunk again, he wiped the tears from his face and leaned against the cold wall. Looking at his own miserable reflection in the mirror, he gave a self-mocking smile.

It hurts? Good. You deserve it!

A toad dreaming of eating swan meat. What makes you think you're good enough?

*

After returning from a business trip, Shen Mu couldn't stand the empty home without Xiao Xin.

Sure, even if he was moving out, did he really have to rush off like that?

Was he really that annoying?

As another dinner he'd cooked himself went cold, Shen Mu finally lost his patience. He drove like a maniac to a gay bar to drag Xiao Xin out.

With a cold expression, he pulled aside the petite guys dancing around the person who was dead drunk, carried him home, and tucked him into bed. Only then was he at ease.

After that, it happened every day.

At last, Xiao Xin couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his chopsticks onto the table and pointed at Shen Mu. "What the hell do you want?"

Shen Mu leaned back in his chair, smoking. After gazing at him for a long while, he said, "Xiao Xin, I want a home."

At a time like this, did he still have to make him play that damn house game?

You want this, you want that. What about him?

Xiao Xin grabbed Shen Mu by the collar and demanded bitterly, "I want to rip your clothes off every second of every day. I want to fuck you and sleep with you. Is that the kind of family you want?"

The expected punch never came. Instead, Shen Mu gave him the lightest kiss beside his ear.

"Yeah."

"That's what I want."

*

Shen Mu wanted Xiao Xin and himself to make a home together.

Xiao Xin wanted Shen Mu to think of him whenever he thought of Shen Mu.

[Bonus Scene]

One night, Lawyer Shen and Boss Xiao got into an argument over who would take which position.

Pushing the man off him, Boss Xiao panted, "Wait... I demand a review of that chart."

Lawyer Shen was busy wrestling with his husband's buttons and gave a distracted reply. "Mm... what chart?"

Xiao Xin stared at him in shock. "Don't you have a chart where you keep track of how many times?"

Shen Mu looked innocent. "I was lying." He leaned in and kissed him again with a laugh. "But I remember perfectly. It's my turn this time."

#After sleeping with my best friend, I realized he might... have a crush on me?!#

[Straight, forceful agency boss who built his company from scratch x beautiful, hardworking, incredibly talented actor and star]

Blurb:

The day Bai Yao went bankrupt, his fiancée broke off their engagement, his dissolute friends all abandoned him, and everyone else avoided him like the plague. Only Liu Yu, whom he'd met just once, offered up everything he owned to help him through the crisis.

Bai Yao thought he was an idiot.

So President Bai built a company from scratch again, grew it into a major business in three years, and returned to the top.

At the celebration banquet, he put an arm around Liu Yu's shoulder and called him his best friend. Liu Yu lowered his eyes and smiled without saying anything.

Who could have guessed that very night Bai Yao would pin his best friend down and sleep with him until they were both spent?

The next day, Bai Yao didn't have a chance to scream or panic and explain himself, because Liu Yu wasn't even there. When he opened his phone, he saw that Liu Yu's relationship had shot to the top of the trending topics.

The movie star Liu's "official" boyfriend was getting attention from the whole internet, while nobody cared about the man who'd been intimately close to him the night before?

Covered in marks and suffering a splitting headache from his hangover, Bai Yao felt a pang of jealousy and nearly threw his phone in a fit of anger.

While he waited for Liu Yu to return one of his dozen unanswered calls, he asked himself a few questions.

1. Liu Yu seemed to like men. Could he accept that?

Yes.

2. Could he accept Liu Yu having someone else?

No! Absolutely not!

3. Could he accept sleeping with Liu Yu?

Well, yesterday felt so good. Maybe... it wasn't... impossible?

Forget about it. First, he needed to make their relationship official!

*

Liu Yu had always known that he and Bai Yao could never be together, and he'd never dreamed of anything unrealistic. He'd spent all his savings on the struggle to get ahead, but as long as he could help Bai Yao even a little, he was already content.

When Bai Yao introduced him as his best friend once again, Liu Yu smiled. The bitterness in his heart had nearly faded away.

He thought he'd finally gotten his feelings in order, and understood that this was the only way he'd ever be able to stand by Bai Yao's side.

But when Bai Yao pleaded with him, Liu Yu still couldn't bring himself to refuse. He gave in, and they crossed the line again.

When he woke up and faced what had happened, Liu Yu did something unusual and ran away. He went to an event he wasn't in any hurry to attend.

As he got off the plane, Bai Yao's calls came relentlessly. Liu Yu thought he probably wanted to tell him not to overthink it, or maybe even to end their friendship.

He answered, and after a long silence, heard the sound of a lighter flicking as Bai Yao lit a cigarette.

"...A Yao?" Liu Yu's palms were sweating with nerves.

"A Yu," Bai Yao's hoarse voice trembled, and it pierced straight into Liu Yu's heart through the phone. "Will you give us a chance?"

Liu Yu thought of the letter he'd sent thirteen years ago and had been waiting for an answer to. At last, he'd received one.

*

Thirteen years ago, Bai Yao's arrival made Liu Yu choose to stay in this world.

Thirteen years later, Bai Yao's acceptance brought Liu Yu's love into the light.

After they married, Boss Bai was always displeased with the people surrounding Movie Star Liu.

After a banquet, Movie Star Liu wanted to take a shower, but Boss Bai blocked the doorway. "You smiled at that young star three times today. Did you think I didn't see?"

Liu Yu leaned against the doorframe, his eyes curving with a smile. "Jealous again? Don't be silly. I want to shower."

Bai Yao scooped him up, tossed him onto the bed, and leaned over him.

Liu Yu laughed and struggled. "I'm filthy! I want to shower!"

Bai Yao grabbed his wrists and pinned them above his head. Biting his collarbone, he mumbled, "Wait a little... together..."
