Sixteen years older.
When they first met, the ambitious 19-year-old bottom wanted to pounce on the big shot, while the 35-year-old handsome, acting-savvy uncle from the film industry only saw him as a kid.
When did Ruobei fall for Qi Yan? He couldn't remember either, but he grew more and more certain that he had to win over his idol!
After graduating with his bachelor's degree, Ruobei gave up the chance to stay at his university in Beicheng for graduate school and headed straight to Nancheng. He pursued his career while studying for his master's, and flirted with a man along the way...
This older man seemed a little hard to win over, but that was no problem at all. Ruobei was fearless.
Qi Yan, whose next role was that of a Chinese medicine researcher, came to Ruobei's school to experience the part. Ruobei had been worrying about how to meet him when his advisor assigned him to show Qi Yan around the laboratory.
What a coincidence!
Leaving out a few unimportant details, this is the story of "My Top Is Going to Play Me?"
Wonderful! Step one in flirting with my top: get close to him. Success!
Five years later,
one day Ruobei suddenly realized, huh... his top was almost forty?
"Isn't your birthday coming up?"
"How do you want to celebrate this year?"
"Hey! I'm talking about your birthday!"
"Hm?"
"You're turning forty!
After your birthday, you'll be forty!
You're turning forty... Could it be... you don't want to add someone to your household registration?"
"Oh, honestly!"
"Hmph! I even have to be the one to propose to you!"
"So, does this count as a proposal?" Qi Yan turned over and pinned Ruobei beneath him, gently brushing the hair from his forehead before kissing him. "Baby..."
"Mm! It counts!"
Thanks to the fearless way Ruobei flirted with him as a teenager, Qi Yan finally found a partner to share a household registration with and exchange marriage vows before turning forty.
After all these years, as time passed, it turned out this boy was the one he'd been waiting for!
Theme: May we always have the courage we had as teenagers, and bravely pursue love.
