Jiang Yicheng had been in love with Li Yan for years. He thought this secret crush would be nothing more than a bittersweet flutter in the springtime of his youth. He never expected that, in their second year of high school, they would become roommates. The cool and reserved Jiang Yicheng discovered that after saying one thing to the person he liked, he would want to say something else.
The more time they spent together, the more he wanted.
What was he supposed to do?
Jiang Yicheng wanted Li Yan to like him back, but Li Yan hooked an arm around his neck and said, in a very cheerful mood, "Jiang Yicheng, let's be best buddies for life!"
Jiang Yicheng spent the whole night thinking it over. In the end, he decided to put all his feelings away. He would be Li Yan's buddy, the kind who stayed by his side for life!
.
Ever since seeing Jiang Yicheng dressed as a girl at the cultural festival, Li Yan kept dreaming about him in women's clothes. Even though he knew Jiang Yicheng was a guy, the dreams didn't stop. Gradually, they started running toward all sorts of indescribable scenarios.
To put an end to these absurd dreams, Li Yan made a point of reminding himself in everyday life that Jiang Yicheng was a guy.
His efforts paid off. The next time he dreamed of Jiang Yicheng, Jiang Yicheng was dressed as a guy, and the scene was perfectly wholesome.
Excited, Li Yan hooked an arm around Jiang Yicheng's neck and told him they should be best buddies for life. But that very night, in his dream, he pinned his best buddy to the bed and did this and that with him for ages!
Li Yan: …
This time he wasn't wearing women's clothes!

A short scene:
Jiang Yicheng spent two days sorting through Li Yan's test papers from half a semester, along with the questions he had gotten wrong in his exercises. He handed them to Li Yan and said, "No need to thank me, we're best buddies!"
Li Yan immediately replied, "I do have to thank you. My brother won't let me call just anyone my buddy. I'll treat you to a meal as thanks."
Jiang Yicheng: "????"
Didn't he say they would be best buddies for life??!! Li Yan was distancing himself...
He thought about it, then managed a strained smile and said, "Then let's just be ordinary friends from now on."
Li Yan stepped closer, cornered him against the wall, and said softly, "I think being boyfriends would be even better!"
