Little Childhood Friend, Why Have You Become So Well-Behaved?

[The shameless, flirtatious kid who grows into a sincere, overthinking bottom x The timid, introverted kid who grows into a shameless top]

Luo Liubai thought he would never see Lin Jianchuan again in his life.

They were inseparable from elementary through middle school. They seemed to have a great relationship, but in truth, Luo Liubai was the only one harassing the other.

He was too young to know better and was always clinging to him. Looking back, he really had no sense of boundaries.

After the high school entrance exams, a family crisis forced Lin Jianchuan to leave the city. For three years, Luo Liubai heard nothing from him.

Three years later, Luo Liubai had grown into a handsome young man and become much more composed.

Because Lin Jianchuan wasn't the only one whose life had changed. Luo Liubai's had, too.

He was no longer the cheerful, sunny boy he once was. So when he saw Lin Jianchuan again, he was at such a loss that all he wanted to do was run away.

The embarrassing memories he had buried came rushing back with Lin Jianchuan's return.

And he really did run, fleeing the memories of his childhood.

But one ran and the other chased, and soon they were caught in a chase they couldn't escape.

Can someone tell him why the little boy who never smiled and blushed whenever Luo Liubai flirted with him has grown such a thick skin?

They're in the same major and the same club, so they run into each other everywhere. Lin Jianchuan is either flirting with him or on his way to flirt with him.

He even sees that guy at the bar where he works nights.

Revenge. This is blatant revenge!

Is he trying to kill me?

This is a freaking manhunt.

What Lin Jianchuan never expected was that, after leaving for three years, he would unexpectedly reunite with his childhood crush at university.

His little childhood friend had changed. He was quieter now, no longer cheerful.

But that was all right. Lin Jianchuan had become a better person, and this time he would be the one to warm him up!

Ah, but unrequited love really is one person's own private turmoil. He wonders if his childhood friend has ever liked anyone else.

Lin Jianchuan: Oh, what a whirlwind.

Luo Liubai: Damn, it's a battlefield.
