Falling in Love at First Sight with a Friend on a Friendship Variety Show

The summer of his graduation, Lin Jian is in a car accident and becomes disabled in both legs. In the end, he chooses to return to his hometown. He thinks he won't have anything to do with his old friends again. But one day, years later, he receives a special invitation from the production team of a show called My Friends and I. Lin Jian holds the invitation and agonizes over it for a long time, but in the end he still decides to leave his hometown for the bustling metropolis… Because he's Xu Junshi's college roommate and friend, and Xu Junshi is the star of the show. Later, after the show wraps up, reporters photograph Xu Junshi holding Lin Jian tightly in his arms, wanting to kiss him. * Xu Junshi, a former movie king and now the owner of an entertainment company, is cold and ruthless. Everyone in showbiz knows he hates people trying to trade on their acquaintance with him. And yet, by mistake, he accepts an invitation to appear on the variety show My Friends and I. The production team immediately sends out invitations far and wide, asking guests to play his friends, all ready to put on a tacky act of “deep friendship.” Fans, haters, gossip-loving bystanders, and friends in the industry are all delighted, looking forward to seeing his fake, cold expression once the show airs. But things don't go as expected. On the first day of filming, a handsome young man sits in a wheelchair, troubled because the resort villa doesn't have adequate wheelchair access. Then the staff see the man, who has been scowling all day, finally shift his gaze. He uses both arms to lift the flustered young man and carry him straight upstairs. After a major fan who had been waiting outside catches it on camera, netizens cry that they've seen a ghost and flood Xu Junshi's account with questions about who the handsome young man is. Xu Junshi V: [A friend. My roommate.] Then someone breaks the news that Xu Junshi was washing underwear early in the morning, and the underwear wasn't his. The topic shoots straight to the top of the trending list. Netizens: #IWouldNeverRushToWashMyFriendsUnderwear# * * Back in college, four men share a dorm. Lin Jian is the only one from out of town. He's gentle by nature and unfamiliar with the local customs. The warmth of his local roommates is more than he can handle. When he graduates, he plans to stay in the city, but too many things go wrong. A guy who pursues him can't have him, so he spreads rumors about Lin Jian's private life. Then a car accident leaves Lin Jian disabled in both legs. So Lin Jian returns to his hometown to work. Seven years later, Lin Jian is twenty-seven. His parents are preparing to find him a husband locally, so he'll have someone to rely on for the rest of his life. That's when he receives the show's invitation. Time has passed, and when Lin Jian sees his old friend again, he still feels awkward. “I'll only be here for a month or two. I'll be going back in the fall.” “My parents are planning to ask a matchmaker to find someone for me, a man… Um, you might not know this, but I'm gay.” As soon as the words leave his mouth, the man beside him asks in a low voice, “What do you think of me?” * 1. A sweet, healing romance set against the entertainment industry, though the industry is only a backdrop. Some characters work in entertainment, but that's simply their occupation. The story doesn't revolve around their careers in showbiz. (For example, there are no scenes about filming, winning awards, or acting.) 2. The seme and uke reunite after years apart, several years after entering the workforce. 3. The seme falls in love with the uke at first sight, in a different sense of the phrase. 4. Entertainment company owner seme x gentle beauty uke. 5. SNS in the story refers to social media apps, a combination of a certain green app and a certain big-eye app. The story may be revised from time to time. I'll fix typos when I have time. This time, I'll try to read each chapter while writing it and again after finishing, to make sure it flows as smoothly as possible. Thank you so much for your support.
