Sell, Sell Boldly! [Entertainment Industry]

At eighteen, Shi Fei successfully debuted as the leader of the new boy group Crv-4, stepping onto the stage he loved.

Crv-4 became an overnight sensation after debuting, with high expectations and pressure from the outside world.

The group's main dancer, Qiyuan, was quiet and somewhat antisocial. Taking his responsibilities as leader seriously, Shi Fei checked in on him and took care of every little detail.

Day after day, the two grew closer.

-

At twenty-one, Shi Fei was confessed to by Qiyuan.

Over the course of their long friendship, Qiyuan was not the only one to fall in love. But Shi Fei remembered his position: he was not only a boy-band idol, but also the leader of Crv-4.

Not dating was part of an idol's professional ethics. And getting Crv-4 to the top was not just his dream alone.

Shi Fei told Qiyuan, “If you're willing to wait, we can try being together after the group disbands.”

-

At twenty-three, Shi Fei's contract expired, and Crv-4 was about to disband.

But for some reason, his relationship with Qiyuan had grown terribly distant.

On the day everyone confirmed they would not renew their contracts, Shi Fei heard from another group member that Qiyuan was about to go abroad.

He got completely drunk, stood on the rooftop in the cold wind, and passed out with a high fever.

When he woke up, Shi Fei learned that Qiyuan had already boarded a plane to another country.

-

At twenty-six, Shi Fei successfully transitioned from idol to singer-songwriter.

At a friend's invitation, he joined a dating show as a guest for one episode, where he happened to run into Qiyuan, who had just returned to the country.

In the three years since, he had already sorted out his feelings. He greeted Qiyuan as if nothing had happened between them.

But Qiyuan didn't see it that way.

After several rounds of drinks, Qiyuan cornered him in his room, tears streaming down his cold face. He sounded fierce, but wounded. “I still really like you...”

Shi Fei: “Move, please.”

Qiyuan, expressionless but still crying: “You rejected me again.”

Shi Fei: “...What do you mean, again? When did the first time happen?”

-

In Qiyuan's eyes, Shi Fei is perfect in every way, with just one flaw: he doesn't like Qiyuan.

After confessing, Qiyuan noticed that Shi Fei consciously avoided his gaze, reduced their physical contact, and even deliberately moved into another room.

Qiyuan saw all of Shi Fei's actions for what they were: a quiet, gentle rejection. So he wordlessly put some distance between them and stopped being a nuisance.

Over the next two years, Qiyuan regretted it many times.

If he hadn't confessed so rashly, would they have stayed as close as ever, always the best of friends?

Qiyuan felt that the greatest setback of his life was Shi Fei.

He had liked him since he was twenty, and it took until he was twenty-six to finally learn that Shi Fei liked him too.
