My Childhood Friend Is Too Hard to Woo

A sweet story about mutual crushes, inspired by stories from friends.

Zhuge Jin's teenage dilemma:

A brotherly bond as strong as iron? No, it's a crush so intense it's eating him alive.

Xiao Xuan's survival rule:

I'm the only one allowed to mess with my bro. Anyone else tries, and they're out of luck.

When childhood friends become mutual crushes caught in a battlefield of love...

The brother he thought was a hopelessly straight guy

had secretly marked him as his own for eighteen years;

The elaborate matchmaking plan he carefully arranged

ended up becoming a grand confession in front of everyone.

For Zhuge Jin,

this birthday felt like a dream. Everything was wonderful.

He cried twice.

The second time was because it hurt a little, physically.
