At a music variety show being filmed after his return to the mainland, Bai Ci came face-to-face with a familiar yet unfamiliar figure, and his heart immediately sank halfway.

Help, help, help! Is it too late to run away?

Six years had passed. The young man had outgrown his awkwardness and become a top-tier star shining beneath the spotlights. When his fox eyes lowered to look at someone, they were intensely intimidating.

Bai Ci swallowed and pretended not to know him. "Hello."

The other man replied politely, but his words carried an unmistakable meaning: "Teacher Bai, I look forward to working with you."

Their hands touched briefly as they shook hands, then parted. The other man scratched Bai Ci's palm.

! Bai Ci shuddered, covered in goosebumps!!

His manager sensed something was off and asked if there was history between him and Gu Zhi.

Bai Ci said blankly, "He confessed to me back when he was a nobody, and I turned him down. Does that count?"

Bai Ci was sticking to his role as a stranger, but Gu Zhi wouldn't play along. He was determined to get his way.

The cameras didn't restrain him. If anything, they gave him chances to seize every opportunity to confess.

Cling, cling, cling! Once he latched on, he went all out, losing himself in it!

During a preview livestream, he opened his music app. The three songs he'd played on repeat the most were all by Bai Ci. "I'm Teacher Bai's fan, and I think he's good-looking, too."

The kind who'd get himself all cleaned up, waiting for his idol to sleep with a fan.

During filming, he boldly declared, "I really like Teacher Bai. He's my idol, but I don't mind sharing him with another fan."

He didn't mind sharing his idol, but he wanted to take out every other fan without distinction.

Unable to resist the young man's skill at acting cute and playing tricks, Bai Ci kept retreating until there was nowhere left to run.

Then, in a daze, he was cornered between an arm and the bed, while the mole on his neck, which had long been coveted, gained a fresh bite mark.

Gu Zhi secretly curled his lips into a smile. The evil puppy's plan to mark what belonged to him had succeeded!

Bai Ci grew increasingly aware that something was wrong with him.

Could it be that he was actually a little bit bent? He shook his head, trying to banish the utterly impossible thought.

Gu Zhi caught a whiff and came over to interrogate him. "Hey, aren't you straight? Why do you keep blushing in front of me?"

Bai Ci's brain was about to overheat. Through gritted teeth, he said, "It's because you make me so mad!"

The young man stared at his lips, muttering something he couldn't make out. He wanted to kiss him.

*

Neither of them expected that after watching the show, the shippers would emerge out of nowhere, their keen eyes sending the pair straight to the top of the year's most popular couples.

The show itself even abruptly transformed into a dating show.

Bai Ci was utterly shocked, while Gu Zhi was having the time of his life.

The shippers smiled like proud aunties every day: Are they coworkers, or a leopard and a cat? I'll make up my own mind.

It wasn't until the trending topic #GuZhiBaiCiAppearedTogetherSixYearsAgo came along that the girls, who were going wild shipping them, learned that their story had started much earlier than they'd thought.

A couple shipped because of genuine feelings had genuine feelings, too!

Those who understood that line had already begun happily wiping away their tears!
