Cheddar Group is developing a fully immersive simulation game, but has hit a technical roadblock. Everyone recommends an IT genius to CEO Huo.
When they meet, the genius turns out to be Huo Chengguang's ex, whom he broke up with six years ago!
His ex doesn't spare him a shred of dignity, splashing lemon water all over CEO Huo. "I don't work for people I hate."
Remembering the passionate, admiring look Lu Yiyang used to give him, Huo Chengguang is furious and utterly baffled.
You were the one who cheated. I was the one you dumped.
What exactly did I do to deserve a glass of lemon water?

Six years ago, the day he was thrown out of his home, Lu Yiyang was a sophomore in college. Soaked by the rain and starving, he curled up inside a convenience store.
"There's an empty room where I live. Want to come take a look?" a handsome, professional-looking office worker asked him.
Lu Yiyang went to see the room and decided to move in with the gorgeous man who looked like a model.
The top thought the bottom was just a lousy student, and the bottom thought the top was just an ordinary office worker. They were so close back then!
Lu Yiyang took Huo Chengguang as his role model, studying, livestreaming, working out, and growing up fast by his side.
Huo Chengguang loved the feeling of having a younger brother to look after. He carefully prepared gifts, celebrated the New Year with him, and took him to Guizhou to fulfill his dream of camping in the rain.
Their life together was happy and wholesome!
Just like the wholesome part of a marriage-first, love-later story.
*
Unfortunately, these two weren't following a marriage-first, love-later script!
When they were both down on their luck, they doted on each other. When they both revealed their true identities, they turned on each other.
When things between them started getting "unwholesome," Huo Chengguang never imagined his underachieving boyfriend would grow up to become a cybersecurity genius he couldn't handle, no matter how hard he gritted his teeth.
The moment Lu Yiyang saw wealthy CEO Huo Chengguang again, he realized he didn't even know the man's real name. He'd wasted six years of devotion on a dog!

In Dreamscape, the fully immersive game developed by Huo Chengfeng, players enter through a brain-computer interface shaped like an incense burner. They feel no sense of virtuality at all. It's a real world.
From then on, friends can get together, families can share a meal, and people can travel, all inside Dreamscape.
He Xiling is rational, sociable, and interested in all kinds of things, but whenever Huo Chengfeng gets close, he loses his words.
Huo Chengfeng thinks that his beloved gave his life to save me. He must truly hate me.
Later, when He Xiling enters Dreamscape again, he finds that all his friends have disappeared. Only Huo Chengfeng is left.
Huo Chengfeng: "Sorry, now you can only look at me."
He Xiling: "Sorry, then I'm not letting you go again."
[IT genius top] x [Disowned rich kid bottom]
The bottom's crush is deafeningly loud yet completely unspoken. He absolutely refuses to admit it.
The aloof, untouchable top comes down from his pedestal, turning a straight man gay. He'll lure you in without even letting on.
An incense burner brings them together. When mature men fall in love, they either let it go or make it official.
Theme: You must not fall into evil in pursuit of power.
Ah, it turned out to be BE. I thought it was Dzogchen, but it turned out to be a dream of red beams.
It's so uncomfortable 😭 After watching it, they are still circulating in my mind all night long... I am a spectator, and I can only watch while crying and laughing at the same time.
The best novel I've read in recent times. My wife's writing style is very good, integrating emotional development into the plot. Two completely different people collide with each other in the same space. There are misunderstandings that are not explained clearly, and there are personal struggles, but in fact these are all love. Two people who once loved each other misunderstood each other. When love can no longer be expressed, when the past becomes an obstacle that cannot be overcome, when they meet again, love becomes a sharp sword, stabbing at each other. But if you look past the flashes of swords and shadows, all that is hidden inside is love. Those who watch it feel sad. Huo Chengguang is a proud person, and he does have the capital to be proud. With his perfect family background and academic qualifications, he is worthy of his reputation as the hegemon. But looking beyond these auras, he is also a very strong person. His strength and "overlord" come from his inner determination and calmness. Because his pride made him choose silence instead of asking directly when he misunderstood Lu Yiyang and Tang Fengshan. If he had asked, maybe the process would have been less bumpy. But his pride did not allow him to ask, because he was afraid that he would really get the answer he didn't want to hear from Lu Yiyang. But love is to make proud people bow their heads~ Lu Yiyang lives up to his name. He is an out-and-out genius, high-spirited in the field of programming, and he also dares to love and hate when it comes to love. If you love him, you will never look back for him; if you hate him, you will never see him again. In the emotional entanglement with Huo Chengguang, he was always in the upper position, and his every move affected Huo Chengguang's emotional ups and downs. He loved the Huo Chengguang who lived in the same house with him, and he also loved the now glorious Huo Chengguang. In fact, after all, he just loved Huo Chengguang. My wife's writing style is very good, smooth and without losing the sense of picture. Those who watched it felt swollen and sour. When I see two people quarreling, I always think that they can get back together as soon as possible. When Huo Chengguang was jealous and misunderstood, he hoped that he could tell Lu Yiyang so that the two of them could not misunderstand. But they don't love without opening their mouths, it's just love that makes people worry about gains and losses. But for such a proud person, he still loses his confidence when it comes to love. So I think it's like what my wife said, "A lifetime of patience, love at first sight, luxury once, and total failure." They once thought that their love was a complete failure, but now looking back on the past, they wonder if they will regret why they didn't say more words at that time. If possible, would everything not have to be so bumpy? But love always makes people lose their minds. Without love, they are not complete. So Huo Chengguang is perfect because of Lu Yiyang, and Lu Yiyang is perfect because of Huo Chengguang. The best time is when two people are in love with each other. Go to love, go to happiness! Thanks to my wife for bringing me a story that may seem sour but is full of happiness in retrospect. Love is never in words, it is in those small invisible details. After reading it and thinking about every bit of them, I feel that I have been so in love a long time ago. Looking forward to my wife's next article, the next love story~
Feel. . . Still dead, the success rate is too low, and the state of Mr. Huo and Xiao He in the last extra chapter is not right. But having said that, Mr. Huo wouldn't have adopted two children as Xiao Lusheng [Let Me Kangkang] to satisfy some of his obsession with his wife getting pregnant and giving birth to his children.
Damn it... It's BE...
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed to see that now, The Witness is finally over, they all embrace the future, and engage in such a plot of a friend's betrayal.
The writing style is really great ❤️ ❤️ ❤️, it made me cry so hard 😭 that it is worthless in my eyes. Although I am BE, I still hope that Chengguang and Yiyang can have a happy life, so I wish them to grow old together in the parallel world 🤗
I felt so bad after reading it. I calmed down but still cried. My fingers stayed on the keyboard for a long time, but I couldn't express my feelings. I just felt very uncomfortable and heartbroken. But it doesn't matter, he loves him very much.
It's really beautiful, why isn't it popular ❤️❤️❤️
Can there be a living Lu Yiyang in Mr. Huo's book? 😭 😭 I'll just treat the extra story as an if-line BE story, oooooo??? Please?
