Chen Xin and Cheng Yan, who recently won the Olympic synchronized diving championship, set the whole internet abuzz.
It wasn't just because the two handsome young men had won the championship.
It was because Cheng Yan... had revealed his secret identity!!!
And it was no ordinary secret identity: he was the biggest shipper of the two of them!!
Since they weren't in showbiz, only a small group of fans had secretly shipped them. But it turned out the person shipping them hardest was one of the couple himself?!!
So the couple we shipped really is real!!
Tell me, how can you not ship a couple when the people involved are practically shoving them together?!!
Serious version:
Family upheaval, bullying from teammates, and results he could never improve left Chen Xin with psychological issues, forcing him to temporarily leave the swim team.
Then, by chance, a coach accompanying a film crew scouting locations at his school discovered that Chen Xin had another talent in the water.
Determined to return to competition, Chen Xin decided to seek advice from his former senior, Cheng Yan, with whom he'd long since fallen out.
That boy, only two years older than him, had once won many honors for his country, but had been forced to retire with regrets because of an injury.
They could both see the unwillingness in each other's eyes.
They were both wounded boys, and dreamers whose souls were in sync.
The boys soothe each other's wounds, and their dazzling dives unfurl in the air, seemingly as brilliant and beautiful as youth itself.
