They were childhood friends for twenty years, lived together for fifteen, and loved each other without a marriage certificate for twelve.
Just before they were about to cross the seven-year itch for the second time, they split up. Quietly and calmly, with no one knowing, yet with devastating heartbreak.
After leaving Xiao Lai, Xia Yihan became one of the platform’s top streamers, with millions of fans and a knack for selling products. He could easily make a few million a year.
Just as everything was going his way, an intimate photo of him from years ago suddenly leaked, shooting to the top of the trending charts and leaving the whole internet in an uproar.
His business partner demanded an explanation. Xia Yihan laughed.
“The photo looks so real. Forget it.”
His partner ground his teeth and stormed out.
His assistant stared at the trending topic, trembling. “Brother Xia...”
Xia Yihan saved the picture, paused, then laughed. “I’m done for.”
The treasure he had cherished for so many years had finally been made public.
When Xiao Lai was ten, disaster struck his family. His naive, sweet older brother sat beside him and cried all night.
“Little bro, it’s just the two of us from now on. I’ll protect you.”
Xiao Lai believed him.
Just two months later, his softhearted older brother was persuaded by his boyfriend to continue studying abroad.
Xiao Lai didn’t go to see him off, but spent the whole day at the airport.
He thought, if no one was going to coax him, why couldn’t he coax someone else?
Coax him into playing with him, coax him into living with him, coax him into being closest to him in all the world, coax him into loving him most...
He kept it up for twenty years, until every absurd moment became unforgettable.
But in the end, they still separated.
Completely.
A little scene:
Late at night, after a long separation, rain poured down.
Xia Yihan urged him to leave. “Then that’s that. I hope you’ll be happy from now on.”
Xiao Lai didn’t move. “Wait a little longer.”
“Wait for what?”
“For the rain to stop.” Xiao Lai browsed his emails, his tone flat. “I just heard you say something you don’t mean. If I go out now, I might get struck by lightning.”
“...”

In this case, brother-in-law, please come back quickly to take care of Xiaoxia.
Yeah, well, when you think your CP super words can't make a difference, then your super words will have to...
I don't know if Xiaoxia has heard of that word. The more he describes it, the darker it gets. The more he denies it, the more he seems to care hhhhh
