The Rift in the Sky

Lin Tianyi felt that fate loved playing cruel jokes on him. Why else would he have lost his mother at seven, his father at sixteen, and then, at twenty-five, found out that his girlfriend of eight years, the woman he was about to marry, had cheated on him? What a miserable life... _ One early morning, Lin Tianyi went to a bar to drown his sorrows. Just as he was about to take his first sip, a man wearing a mask tapped the table beneath his glass and asked, "Can you leave?" He didn't know it was a gay bar. He also didn't know the man in front of him had never been there before, and had fallen for him at first sight. The man's awkward attempts at flirting, combined with Lin Tianyi's mistake of walking into the wrong bar, kicked off a bizarre, ridiculous misunderstanding that was both laughable and exasperating. Lin Tianyi was a designated driver. He wasn't in the mood to work, but habit and a pile of loans to repay left him with little choice. Without changing his expression, he told the other man, "Let's go." And so the man took him to a hotel... At first, Lin Tianyi was still trying to figure out what was happening. Then the man asked him, "Is this your first time?" Lin Tianyi finally came to his senses. He grabbed his jacket and ran. After cooking for his girlfriend for eight years, Lin Tianyi had become an excellent cook. To pay off his loans sooner, he decided to find another part-time job. The cold, handsome man looked over his resume and said flatly, "Starting today, you're my nutritionist and driver." Lin Tianyi was stunned. The man looked aloof, but he seemed like a pretty nice guy. Only... why did his voice sound so familiar? Lin Tianyi agreed. From then on, he did his best as a nutritionist and driver. When the man was hungry, he cooked for him, making sure his three meals a day were nutritious and balanced. After work, he picked him up and drove him home. When it was cold, he made sure the man dressed warmly; when he was in a bad mood, he took him for a drive. Unbeknownst to him, he was stepping into a hunter's trap, one step at a time. Everyone knew that Luo Ye had inherited the family business at a young age and raised the Luo Group from fiftieth in the industry to the top ten in just five years. His abilities were plain to see. He was simply too cold and distant for anyone to get close to. What no one knew was that the CEO was attracted to men. Everyone at the company knew their CEO had an extreme aversion to physical contact and never touched anyone. He even kept a full meter away when he spoke to people. Yet one day, they saw the CEO straighten a man's wrinkled clothes... Everyone at the company knew their CEO kept to himself. Outside of work, he never socialized or made friends. Yet one day, they saw the CEO having lunch in his office with a man... Everyone at the company knew their CEO was a highly eligible bachelor with impossibly high standards for a partner. No ordinary woman from an ordinary family could ever hope to win him over. Yet one day, they saw the CEO holding hands with a man as they went shopping...
