Pure-hearted, dark-skinned, lovesick top x calculating, seductive bottom
An Nian has tested many people's loyalty. He has never failed.
Except with Huo Xiaoming.
When he discovered the listening device planted on him at the end of a mission,
he froze for a moment, then left it in place.
Thinking back on Huo Xiaoming's persistence, An Nian hadn't noticed his quickening heartbeat. He hadn't understood the complicated emotions in Huo Xiaoming's eyes at all.
An Nian carried on with his life, feeding him information that was half true and half false.
Whatever Huo Xiaoming wanted to hear, so be it.
Returning to university, he ran into his childhood friend, Jiang Shao.
Sincere and honest, the other man gently drew An Nian into his arms, one step at a time.
Just as An Nian was ready to let Jiang Shao into his heart,
“Do you think your junior can handle the pressure?”
Huo Xiaoming closed in step by step, whispering in An Nian's ear, “An'an, we're the ones who belong together.”
But An Nian didn't know that every night, Huo Xiaoming stood before the mirror, staring at Jiang Shao's face reflected in it.
“Why do you like Jiang Shao instead of me, Huo Xiaoming?”
“Jiang Shao is me too. Why can that version of me cry in your arms, while you shut me out?”
After breaking down, Huo Xiaoming still wore Jiang Shao's skin and messaged An Nian.
“Good night, dumpling.”
After replying, An Nian gazed at the teddy bear Jiang Shao had given him and gently kissed it.
Through the bear's eyes, he quietly watched An Nian's gentle face.
“See you tomorrow, Jiang Shao.”
Huo Xiaoming gripped the tablet so hard that his fingers turned pale. It was as if he wanted to bore through An Nian's smiling face with his gaze.
“Me... or me? Who will you choose?”
