Jian Xunian had two childhood friends who had grown up alongside him. They had known each other since childhood and were very close.
One day, he dreamed that his family had chosen a fiance for him. Unable to accept him marrying someone else, his two childhood friends joined forces to imprison him on his wedding day.
The dream felt so real that it frightened him. He decided to drive a wedge between them, making it impossible for them to work together again.
He tried every way he could to undermine their trust in each other. One little scheme after another led to them fighting over him several times.
Jian Xunian watched them covered in bruises, put on a heartbroken show of concern, and secretly grinned harder than anyone.
When he learned they planned to meet and discuss him, he clung to the man beside him, whining and refusing to let go. In a panic, he kissed him. "Brother, don't go. Don't leave me."
He kissed and hugged him, completely unaware that the arm around his waist was tightening and the man's gaze was turning strange.
In front of his gentle childhood friend, Jian Xunian accused his aloof childhood friend of hitting him. "He doesn't care about me at all. He only wants to do those things to me. I hate him so much," he cried.
The gentle childhood friend hid the coldness in his eyes toward the other man and asked with concern, "Where did he hit you? Does it hurt?"
Jian Xunian took his friend's hand and placed it behind him. "He hit me here. It hurts so much. Rub it for me, please."
The gentle childhood friend rubbed the spot while Jian Xunian squirmed restlessly.
Sitting in his friend's arms, Jian Xunian said, "Brother, kiss me..."
The next day, Jian Xunian left his gentle childhood friend's home covered in marks and went to see his aloof childhood friend. He wanted the other man to see how badly he'd been bullied, then lay in his arms and cried as he badmouthed the gentle one.
"He looks so gentle, but he's actually awful to me. He took pictures of me and threatened that I'd never be allowed to leave him. I'm so scared. I don't want to live anymore."
Coldness flickered in the aloof childhood friend's eyes as he patiently comforted Jian Xunian, talked him through it, and applied medicine for him. In the end, though, the ointment was all swallowed by his friend's mouth.
After being kept busy until midnight, Jian Xunian finally fell asleep in peace.
When he woke up, he learned that his two childhood friends had fought again.
This time the fight was worse than ever. Their families had to step in, and their business partnership fell apart too. He felt so guilty that he didn't dare show his face.
Having successfully driven a wedge between them, Jian Xunian didn't want to see either of them for a while. He secretly went on a trip with his fiance, whom he was about to become engaged to.
During the trip, they kept calling to ask where he was, who was with him, and why he had snuck off.
Jian Xunian gave them both the same answer: "You're not my boyfriend, so why do you care so much?"
A few days later, the gentle childhood friend found him.
His expression was dark, and for the first time, he didn't smile at Jian Xunian.
Jian Xunian was horrified and turned to run, only to stumble into a man's arms. The aloof childhood friend's voice sounded beside his ear. "Didn't you say you'd be with me forever? Why did you lie to me?"
The gentle childhood friend came closer. "Baby, how about I lock you up?"
Jian Xunian hurriedly tried to get help from the aloof childhood friend, only to find him staring straight at him, seemingly in complete agreement.
