Bai Heng, the face of a popular boy group, suffers a career-ending scandal over a supposed romance.
His manager kicks him onto a dating reality livestream to muddy the waters and pass fiction off as fact.
But there, he runs into his ex-boyfriend, the love of his life, whom he broke up with years ago.
Just as he is about to greet the stone-faced man with casual composure,
he unexpectedly hears the inner thoughts of a certain sulky older man.
"Hah, what a jerk!"
"Serves you right! Keep showing off if you can, go chase after your pretty young guys!"
Bai Heng has the time of his life on the dating show, treating everything like a game of Truth or Dare.
He keeps testing the waters, pulling and pushing, and gleefully dancing all over Chu Linfeng's limits.
The muttering in his ear never stops, and the more he hears, the more entertaining it gets.
"Keep eating! You'll give yourself a stomachache!"
"Eating that much chocolate? So much for having the basic discipline of an idol!"
"Are you stupid? Why didn't you explain yourself when they framed you?"
"I had to clean up your messes back then, and I still do now. You really can't manage without me!"
Even though the two have no interaction on the show and never choose each other, the viewers gradually catch on.
"The Hengfeng CP is so sweet. They act like they can't stand each other, but they care about each other so much."
"Bai Heng is such a carefree troublemaker, but the moment he's in front of Chu Linfeng, he turns into a well-behaved puppy!"
"They barely talk, but they're in the same shot in almost every episode. I'm screaming!"
"Guys, guess what I found? A few years ago, Bai Heng was photographed meeting a mysterious girlfriend at a movie theater. Doesn't that figure look a lot like the actor Chu?"
In the misty bathroom, Chu Linfeng looks at his reflection in the full-length mirror and gives himself a gentle squeeze.
Not bad. A nice waist, a nice ass, and skin that's smooth and well cared for.
But last night in bed, while he was cursing Bai Heng as the other man had his way with him, the man on top had suddenly burst out laughing.
Was that normal? Had Bai Heng gotten tired of him again and started finding him ridiculous?
Should he buy some of the things he saw in Bai Heng's browsing history to spice things up?
With a click, the bathroom door is flung open.
Before Chu Linfeng can turn around, an arm wraps tightly around him from behind.
"Baby, you're perfect. We don't need those toys. Or are you doubting my abilities?"
"?????!!!!"
Reader's note:
1. One-on-one romance, always mutually devoted. The romance starts with a misunderstanding.
2. A bold, unrestrained troublemaker in public but a devoted puppy in private, top VS a taciturn, jealous older man, bottom
3. Eight-year age gap, with the top younger
Theme: Fate brings people together, so be bold and say you love them
