Childhood Sweethearts Have Their Tricks [Entertainment Industry]

Jiang Yuan had disliked the kid next door ever since they were little. He was so pale and soft-looking that even a pinch left a mark.

Whenever Jiang Yuan bullied him, the other boy never cried. He just blinked at Jiang Yuan with those big eyes.

Jiang Yuan thought, "With eyes that big, it would be such a waste not to see him cry."

When the kid grew up, he became handsome and refined, then a university professor, but his skin still seemed to glow with paleness.

The only thing that changed from childhood was that he ran far away whenever he saw Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan thought again, "He runs so fast. I'll have to tie him up tight."

Ji Nian had always liked following the kid next door around. Whenever someone bullied him, that kid was the first to rush in and help.

He was always so good to Ji Nian. After pinching him, he'd even give him candy to cheer him up.

Ji Nian thought, "He really loves candy. I wonder how much he has in his pockets."

When the kid grew up, he became handsome and accomplished, then a huge star. But he no longer stood in front of Ji Nian to protect him.

The only thing that stayed the same was that he still had candy in his pockets.

Ji Nian thought again, "He really does love candy. What a shame there's none for me."

Jiang Yuan is the seme, Ji Nian is the uke.

Seme-focused, both are virgins, mutual pining, no real-life inspirations.

One-on-one romance, fictional setting.

The ever-popular and highly respected movie star Guan Yizhou suddenly takes on a cheesy romance drama, co-starring with Lin Bei, a popular idol who's constantly surrounded by rumors.

Lin Bei's fans light up with excitement and set off firecrackers to celebrate: "I knew it! No one can resist our baby, not even Best Actor Guan!"

Guan Yizhou's fans, on the other hand, are alarmed and demand that the CP be broken up by force: "No way!!! Our pure, unpretentious male lead absolutely cannot become one of Lin the Casanova's fish! Absolutely not!"

As filming approaches, the fans on both sides, divided into such fierce camps, begin to notice that something seems off.

First, Lin Bei, who is always online, deletes all his flirtatious posts from various platforms, leaving only a photo with Guan Yizhou pinned to the top. Then Guan Yizhou, who normally couldn't care less about promotional work, unexpectedly posts three Weibo updates in a row to promote the new drama.

Guan Yizhou's fans: "Ha! Does he think pretending to have reformed will fool us? We know he's a Casanova. We're taking our brother home. No dates, no dates, no dates."

Lin Bei's fans: "As if! Our baby is just thinking of the bigger picture. He has absolutely nothing to do with your brother."

Later, the new drama airs and stays at the top of the trending topics. The two appear together on promotional shows, celebrate birthdays, and make every visit to the set.

Seeing how their chemistry practically spills off the screen, the fans, who treat arguing like punching a time clock, fall silent in rare agreement.

Lin Bei's fans tentatively ask: "Is it possible, and I'm only saying it's possible, that our baby has really reformed?"

Guan Yizhou's fans look sorrowful: "I don't know if he's reformed, but I do know our old iron tree has probably blossomed."

Mini-scene:

Lin Bei raises an eyebrow at his phone and nudges the person leaning against his back. "Has your iron tree finally blossomed?"

"If it didn't bloom now, certain people might uproot it." Guan Yizhou shifts him back up as he slides down, then suddenly frowns and snatches away his phone. "Who did you just like?"

Lin Bei stiffens, decisively takes his phone back, tosses it aside, and turns to hug him. "It's so late. Why don't we talk about something more interesting?"

No one knows Guan Yizhou and Lin Bei grew up together. No one knows their homes are separated by just one wall. And no one knows there is a door in Guan Yizhou's wardrobe that leads to Lin Bei's bedroom.

Guan Yizhou is the seme, Lin Bei is the uke. Happy ending. A sweet story about a secret couple in the entertainment industry! Sweet! Sweet! Pure sweetness, no dilution!

A scheming, dependable, possessive seme X a beautiful, haughty uke who pretends to be a Casanova and loves to tease
