[Main story complete]
The top-tier star boy band RNV has been riding high lately. Just as they were at the height of their fame, rumors suddenly broke that the two most popular members couldn't stand each other.
Reports claimed that RNV's leader, Jiang Yuhuai, and the youngest member, Nian Yang, had been at odds since their debut. Their every appearance together was rife with tension. There were even rumors that Nian Yang's two-week sick leave last year was actually because Jiang Yuhuai had beaten him until his face was bruised and swollen.
The more people dug into the rumors, the more details they found, and RNV's fandom was thrown into turmoil.
Nian Yang's agency gave him an ultimatum: publicly interact with Jiang Yuhuai in a friendly way to put the rumors to rest.
The story about him being beaten until his face was bruised and swollen was false, but they really did have a bad relationship.
Whenever he thought about how the rumor made him out to be the one who got beaten, Nian Yang was so angry his teeth nearly shattered.
So he decided to make Jiang Yuhuai uncomfortable by publicly acting friendly with him (and selling their ship).
At the airport during a schedule, Nian Yang deliberately walked up beside Jiang Yuhuai. When the cameras were pointed elsewhere, he secretly hooked his little finger around Jiang Yuhuai's.
Fans with magnifying glasses: ?
In a behind-the-scenes clip from a performance, Nian Yang carried a towel in his left hand and bottled water in his right, pushing through the crowd and crossing mountains and rivers just to deliver them to Jiang Yuhuai.
Fans: ???
Suddenly, the rumors that they hated each other became confusing.
Then, during a variety show game, Nian Yang publicly showed his WeChat contact groups for the first time. Everyone saw that Jiang Yuhuai, the man at the center of the feud rumors, was in the group named "People I Love, my love."
Fans: !!!
What the hell do you mean they don't get along!
The sugar's right at your lips and you still won't take a bite!!!
The rumors of a feud died down, their act of selling their ship began to pay off, and the number of fans shipping them skyrocketed.
Seeing his nemesis's increasingly complicated, frustrated expression, Nian Yang was utterly satisfied.
Until one day, during a casual moment in their dorm, Jiang Yuhuai was quietly live-streaming a game. Nian Yang had just gotten out of the shower and was passing by when he suddenly slipped, skidded across the floor, and tumbled into Jiang Yuhuai's arms, slippers and all.
Facing Jiang Yuhuai's cool, peach-blossom eyes, Nian Yang could only mourn the fact that all his efforts to sell their ship had gone to waste. He was about to be thrown out.
But Jiang Yuhuai didn't throw him.
Amid the fans' shocked comments and the crazed shipping in the live-stream chat, Jiang Yuhuai remained calm and composed. He gently helped Nian Yang out of his arms, bent down, and put his slippers back on for him.
Nian Yang: ...?
Shocking!
My teammate's eyes seem to look different when he sees me!

Upcoming story on my author page, The Sweetest Online Romance. Synopsis:
Chi Xi is a top-tier star who walks around the entertainment industry. Other than being criticized by the industry bigwig Lu Jingze, his career has gone smoothly. Recently, for reasons best left unsaid, he decided to secretly find someone for an online romance.
At last, he found a partner with a mature woman's voice. Apart from being quiet, rich, and a little aloof, she was perfect.
Lu Jingze owns countless film and television companies under his investment group and is a well-known investor in the industry. He can't stand pretentious pretty-boy idols like Chi Xi, who rely on their looks. By coincidence, he recently met someone online with a little girl's voice. She enthusiastically dominates every voice chat and curses everyone out, and her fiery bratty-loli persona is exactly what President Jiang likes.
The KK chat app recently developed a bug: every voice message a user sends automatically sounds like either a mature woman or a little girl to the recipient, and neither person knows about it.
So a few months later, Chi Xi gets up at four in the morning, carefully coordinating his outfit and getting dressed up, while Lu Jingze opens his safe and stuffs all his bank cards into his pockets. Each of them goes to meet the mature woman or little girl they've been dating online...
At last, the two men come face to face.
Lu Jingze looks at the "fiery little girl" he's been dating online.
Chi Xi sees the "perfect mature woman" he's been pursuing.
"…"
Before long, explosive news stories start appearing one after another in the entertainment industry.
The film company owned by bigwig Lu Jingze spends a fortune to produce a new movie, starring Chi Xi, the idol he'd once dismissed as a pretty face with no talent who was only good for looking at.
Top-tier star Chi Xi is photographed by paparazzi entering a hotel with a mysterious bigwig. He doesn't come back down until three days and three nights later, his legs weak as his assistant supports him.
Just as everyone is lamenting that the entertainment industry is a chaotic mess and growing uneasy, someone reveals the cartoon WeChat profile pictures of Chi Xi and bigwig Lu Jingze:
One little character's mouth points left, the other's points right.
Matching kissing icons.
Theme: Love can overcome everything
