[Blurb]
At 29, Ji Wenzhu was still an obscure actor, starring in dramas that went nowhere. Maybe he was just having a run of bad luck: first, his younger sister dragged him up Mount Everest, where he nearly died, and then his foreign boyfriend of seven years ran off to marry a woman...
Just as he was about to cry, his first love, who had been "dead" for years, suddenly showed up and shamelessly asked, "Do you still like me?"
Ji Wenzhu wanted to punch him. He ran, the other chased, and he had no desire to fly.
Ji Wenzhu lost his rhythm, rejecting him again and again, but in the end still fell into his arms.
Later, Cheng Yinjun brought him home, and everyone asked why he'd chosen Ji Wenzhu of all people.
Cheng Yinjun glanced over at the washed-up actor, who was concentrating on his food, smiled, and said, "Back then, he grabbed my pants and knelt on the ground, stunned into silence. Then he gave me the most awkward smile, and from that moment on, he was in my heart."
Ji Wenzhu: "You were dazzled by how handsome I am, weren't you?"
Cheng Yinjun: "I was scared. I thought your teeth had come to life."
Ji Wenzhu: "... (I'm not that dark!)"

-- New story: Only Your Smile --
[Blurb]
On the first day of school, Xu Weixiao was smoking outside the supermarket with his buddy. His friend smoked while he ate candy.
As they talked about losing five games in a row the day before, a boy in a blue-and-white school uniform came out of the supermarket. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xu Weixiao. They stared at each other for five full seconds. Xu Weixiao looked baffled and was just about to ask what was up when the boy left.
His buddy teased him. "Damn, your eyes were practically shooting strings at each other. Xiao'er, do you know him?"
Xu Weixiao watched the back of the boy's head and scratched his own. "No, but he's really pale."
His buddy turned and looked him up and down. "Yeah, and you're really dark!"
Xu Weixiao kicked him. "Get lost!"
Plot 1
At the high school sports meet in his second year, Xu Weixiao, the "number-one hype man," was either on his way to compete or cheering on a classmate. As an "on-site support spectator," Li Yuxi's only event was writing announcements, and his biggest task was fetching things and handing out water.
Later, Li Yuxi injured himself filling in for Xu Weixiao in the long jump, so Xu Weixiao had to stay with him. But whenever he saw his buddies about to compete, he would rush off to cheer them on, until Li Yuxi grabbed his hand.
Xu Weixiao: "They can't do it without me!"
Li Yuxi: "I can't do it without you."
Xu Weixiao: "You sprained your ankle, not your brain."
Li Yuxi: "My heart is broken because of you."
Xu Weixiao: "Li Yuxi, don't attack me with cheesy pickup lines!"
Plot 2
When Xu Weixiao was hospitalized for an appendectomy, his older sister, Lin Weimiao, brought him a pile of BL novels and comics. Xu Weixiao was speechless. His sister said they were for her to read, too, and that he should learn some romance skills.
Xu Weixiao snapped, "You learn how to date from danmei comics? Are you crazy?"
Lin Weimiao said innocently, "Yep. I got the hottest guy at school."
Xu Weixiao's face darkened even more. "..." Thanks a lot.
Bored out of his mind, Xu Weixiao picked up a book and started reading. Li Yuxi happened to see it when he came to visit.
Xu Weixiao's face turned bright red. "Li Yuxi, don't ask."
Li Yuxi smiled. "Okay."
"By the end of the story, you'll have fallen for me too, Xu Weixiao." - Li Yuxi

[Blurb]
Rumor has it that Zhang Yusheng's boyfriends have the same shelf life as convenience-store lunch boxes.
But the men he breaks up with still treat him like a treasure, praising him to anyone who'll listen as a "great boyfriend."
Zhou Xu scoffs. He must be rich. Besides money, all he's got is a pretty face. He's got no other good points.
A friend cautiously asks, "Don't you want to give him a try?"
Zhou Xu shakes his head. "He's too scummy."
And the shelf life is so short, it's hard not to doubt his abilities in that department.
-
A few months later, Zhang Yusheng is chasing after Zhou Xu.
"Zhou Xu, come to my office for a moment."
"Zhou Xu, come over to my place for a moment."
"Zhou Xu, come to my bed..."
Zhou Xu covers Zhang Yusheng's mouth as he spouts "nonsense" in the office.
Onlookers: ??? The vice president and the chairman's secretary are together?!
-
After the news gets out, that same friend comes by to join the gossip.
"You used to think he was too scummy."
"It's a coincidence."
"Why not just call it fate?"
"...Gross."
His friend laughs and asks, "How'd you manage to hook him?"
Zhou Xu smiles faintly. "I tossed him a bone, and he followed me home."
His friend sidles closer with a wicked grin and whispers, "So, how is he? Is he really good in bed?"
Zhou Xu raises an eyebrow and gives him a look that says, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm the one on top."
His friend is left open-mouthed. "Huh?"

Theme: Love makes people brave
How did Liao Qing die?
How did Ji Wenmei die?
Okay, let's start the next one
I guess, I remember the last comment I read was four years ago
I finished reading it, it's very beautiful. Maybe I'm getting older. I've passed the age where I can't worry about love anymore and I don't feel much anymore. I still like daily cookies.
I really cried for a long time at the end
Congratulations on the completion!! I cried several times later because I couldn't accept Xiaochuan's death. Ji Wenzhu was still the sweet little bamboo... Is there any extra story?
What did I see! Updated
Isn't it updated?…
Father and son... So disgusting. Depend on
