Jiang Yuli and Shen Shubai grew up together. Their personalities couldn't be more different: Jiang Yuli is as bright and cheerful as the sun, while Shen Shubai is as cool and aloof as the moon. Yet they are close friends who know everything about each other.
But after they start college, Jiang Yuli notices that Shen Shubai seems to be distancing himself. They are no longer as close as they used to be. Shen Shubai has other people in his life, and Jiang Yuli is gradually finding different circles of his own.
Uneasy as he watches his old friend drift farther away, Jiang Yuli finds a chance to ask him during one of their meetups: "We're still best friends, right?"
Shen Shubai is silent for a moment, then answers calmly.
"Yes. Yuli will always be my best friend."
Some time later, when Jiang Yuli asks him the same question again, Shen Shubai tells him, "I stopped thinking of you as a friend a long time ago."
Before Jiang Yuli can recover from the shock and disappointment, his best friend since childhood steps forward, wraps an arm around his waist, and kisses him.
.
Shen Shubai is naturally aloof and rarely lets people get close to him, but Jiang Yuli is different.
He used to think it would be enough to stay friends forever, but gradually, he begins wanting more. He wants Jiang Yuli to look only at him. He wants to possess him completely.
At first, he can conceal his feelings and keep playing the part of a friend, but the desire inside him becomes harder and harder to control. He knows Jiang Yuli would run away if he found out, and he can't bear the thought of losing him, so he can only keep his distance.
Until someone takes advantage of that opening to get close to his Yuli, takes his place, and even tries to expose the feelings he had meant to keep buried forever.
Watching Jiang Yuli grow closer to someone else fills him with an uncontrollable, vicious chill.
He knows he may not be able to keep pretending.
Sunny, cheerful Jiang Yuli x cool, obsessive Shen Shubai
Childhood friends are the best.

Theme: May friendship last forever
In spite of! Bamboo horses are always better than heaven! ! !
The love rival looked at each other and was extremely jealous. He whispered, "Senior Lin is so gentle."
My brother must have known that Xiaobai likes Yuli. They are all the sixth child in this family.
Why are those people hostile to Yu Li? Author, if you don't give me an explanation, you won't be able to leave (???ε???)

Let's change the attack. I love you so much, senior.
It makes me want to press them together
The beginning is very good, and the writing is very poignant, but the ending feels a bit perfunctory, and the ideas are incomprehensible, maybe a bit abrupt. It might be better if there is another extra chapter to talk about it.
Finally, the author is encouraged to write better novels
