From the very first moment Lin Weiye saw Shang Yugui, he thought this little one was especially sweet and pretty.
So he eagerly ran over and called out, "Hello, little sister!"
His mother smacked him on the back of the head. "That's a boy!"
To be fair, they were born on the same day, so there was no real reason to call either one the older or younger brother. But Lin Weiye had arrived in the world thirty minutes before Shang Yugui, so he shamelessly insisted on being called big brother.
And Shang Yugui really did listen to him, obediently calling him, "Big brother."
But one day, when Lin Weiye found Shang Yugui again, it was in a run-down alley.
The once beautiful, sweet person he remembered had become gloomy and dim. Bruises covered his face and body. A cigarette hung from his lips as he leaned against a filthy wall, slowly exhaling smoke without even sparing Lin Weiye a glance.
"Can you just leave me alone? I'm nothing but a burden."
Lin Weiye had never thought about what career he might pursue in the future, or that he would ever need to rely on someone else.
That is, until Shang Yugui started trying his hand at writing.
Lin Weiye: "Want to start a publishing house? I'll publish your books and no one else's."
Shang Yugui: "If you only publish my books, you'll go bankrupt sooner or later."
Later, Shang Yugui decided to try his luck in the entertainment industry.
Lin Weiye: "Sure! I'll come with you. I'll start a company, sign you, and make sure you have everything you need."
Shang Yugui laughed helplessly. "Why are you like this? Don't you have any dreams of your own?"
Shang Yugui had been joking, expecting Lin Weiye to grin as usual. But to his surprise, Lin Weiye fell silent and thought seriously for a moment before answering, "Whatever you want to do, I'll help you do it. That's my dream."
On a work trip, he met up with a friend he hadn't seen in ages.
The friend asked why he never told Lin Weiye how he felt.
Shang Yugui curled up on the sofa, gazed at the ceiling, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "He's not gay."
"He doesn't like me."
The friend gave him a knowing smile. "You should quit smoking."
The smoke was clouding his eyes. How could he see anything clearly?
Shang Yugui put out his cigarette. "Don't you dare tell on me."
At the time, Shang Yugui didn't understand. Looking back later, he realized that although he'd thought he was the one secretly, carefully loving Lin Weiye all this time, Lin Weiye had actually been the one constantly orbiting around him, as if he had been born for him and him alone.
