The Canary Ran Off with My Childhood Friend

Also known as You Hide It, I Hide It. A lover-stealing story, with a younger, unhinged top x a clearheaded, ruthless bottom

01

Xu Yuezhao is the youngest partner at Junda Law Firm. His win rate is impressive, and he's even more impressive to look at.

The outside world sees him as a brilliant young lawyer with a bright future. No one knows that Bai Rong has kept him at his side for three years.

Then Bai Rong's childhood friend, Cen Yunzheng, comes back.

"Yueyue, how about we play a game?"

"If you can get Cen Yunzheng to ask me for you, I'll let you go."

Xu Yuezhao knows exactly how to make someone let their guard down.

He pretends to be obedient, pretends to be soft, and gradually gives himself to that man. He watches Cen Yunzheng go from distant and indifferent to taking his hand and saying, "Come with me. I'll marry you."

But late that night, Bai Rong lifts him from the bed, exhausted, and looks toward Cen Yunzheng outside the door with a smile.

"Yueyue is still so naive."

"Didn't I tell you? The reason Yunzheng and I have been friends for so many years is that we're alike in one important way."

"We both hate things that someone else has already used."

Bai Rong waits for Xu Yuezhao to be devastated, for him to break down, for him to show the despairing expression Bai Rong loves most.

But he doesn't.

"I knew. I've known from the very beginning." Xu Yuezhao slowly pulls himself out of Bai Rong's arms. "Then do you know why I agreed anyway?"

"Because I chose him, not you."

Everyone says Cen Yunzheng is pure, as if he was born in the sunlight. Xu Yuezhao only has to look at him once to know that's not true.

He's exactly the same kind of person as Bai Rong. Even the way they look at their prey is identical.

"Zhaozhao, why run away? Why won't you behave?"

"You can lie to me, use me, and not love me."

"But once you've chosen me, you can't leave me."
