Can Childhood Friends Kiss Too? [Entertainment Industry]

Li Ruoxing is a music student with beautiful almond-shaped eyes. When he smiles, he's soft and sweet. Shen You is a newly crowned award-winning actor. On screen, he plays a lovesick, unstable youth; off screen, he's cool and distant, famous in the industry as an untouchable beauty. The two are polar opposites, but they end up appearing on a variety show together. On the show, Li Ruoxing is afraid of ghosts and heights, and Shen You is always there to protect him. When Li Ruoxing merely furrows his brow, Shen You immediately notices his stomachache and rubs his belly for him. Fans and bystanders alike are stunned. “Is this really the Shen You I know?” “Hello? What happened to that arrogant guy?” In a behind-the-scenes interview, someone asks Shen You why. Shen You counters, “We met when we were six. I watched his last baby tooth fall out, and I was the one who applied medicine to the scar on his leg until it healed. More than half his life has been spent with me. So why do you think?” - Li Ruoxing is kind, warm, and pure. Ever since they were children, he's been the only ray of light to break into Shen You's dark life. Everyone thinks Shen You is a mature, dependable older brother. Only Shen You knows how despicable he really is. He's domineering and selfish. He wants Li Ruoxing to have eyes for no one but him. He drags Li Ruoxing onto a variety show so that the public will link their names together. Even worse, he has an indescribable, mad and wicked desire for the precious gem he raised himself. Does that precious gem know? He doesn't. Even when Shen You kisses him, he only blinks softly and asks in a gentle, slightly puzzled voice, “Childhood friends can kiss, too?” Three-year age gap. They don't get together while one of them is underage. Adorable little angel shou x somewhat possessive, cool-guy gong. A mostly everyday, sweet little story.
