Why has my best friend been looking at me so strangely lately?
[1990s Hutong Story]
In 1991, a country boy named Song Jiashu came to Beijing to find work and make a living. Beneath a locust tree in a hutong, he met a Beijing boy in a white shirt: Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was like a beam of light, shining into Song Jiashu's world without warning. He gave him a warmth he'd never known before, so intense it made Song Jiashu's eyes sting.
In 1993, grain coupons were abolished, ushering in a golden age for private businesses. Song Jiashu and Shen Yan decided to start a business together.
They hawked their wares in the busy streets and fled in a panic when the authorities came to inspect their stall. As they ran through the hutong, their sweat-soaked backs pressed together. They were like two reckless, burning little suns.
In a shack where rain poured through the roof, Shen Yan smiled and said, "My mom asked why I keep coming over to your place. I told her you're the big brother I chose for myself."
Song Jiashu smiled. A raindrop fell from the corrugated roof onto the back of his hand. Suddenly, he looked up and asked, "What about you? What do you tell yourself?"
Shen Yan didn't answer. He simply pressed Song Jiashu's hand to his own chest. There, a heart pounded like a drum, just like the big mobile phone Song Jiashu had seen for the first time. The beat made his ears ring.
[Top's POV] Shen Yan had always thought life was a straight track: school, work, marriage, children. The moment he met Song Jiashu, that track veered off course. He wanted to protect this fragile yet resilient boy from the countryside, and draw closer to the light in his shrewd eyes.
They made money together and stumbled through growing up side by side, their lives inseparable.
But just as their business began to thrive, Shen Yan realized with horror:
His desire for this "best friend" had long since crossed the line...
One-on-one romance, relationship-focused + career-focused
Sensitive, resilient, energetic bottom vs. straightforward, perceptive, passionate top
(Revised blurb)
Theme: Keep moving forward with knowledge and perseverance, and you will find the light.
Isn't the teacher changing?? 😂 No, can you solve the problem of v? It costs money after all.
Dear readers and friends: During this period, I have not been able to update daily as promised. I'm sorry. My archive of manuscripts has been exhausted, and I am not writing full-time. Real life also makes it difficult for me to write articles. Yesterday I resumed one day of updating, and found that I am still unable to cope with daily life. I am a little tired from dealing with daily life. The works I write in this state cannot satisfy me. I can never deal with you with random things. I don't want to stop updating for no reason, so I'll give you an accurate response: This article has been changed from daily to weekly, updated every weekend, and the number of words updated is between 7,000 and 10,000. Finally, I would like to apologize to everyone again. After this message, some readers will inevitably be dissatisfied and leave. I respect everyone's choice, it's my problem. I am also grateful to the readers who are willing to continue to accompany me. Wish everyone all the best.
I wanted to say mainly the body, but I typed it wrong [covering face and laughing and crying] [covering face and laughing and crying]

Message on October 11th: Babies, next is a big plot point, so I want to prepare a big chapter and release it in one breath tomorrow afternoon, at least a two-in-one. Please wait a little longer, thank you all!
Wow, I entered v, congratulations!
It feels great! This description is very delicate, has a strong sense of empathy, and deeply empathizes! I have taken the train several times and found that most of the people on the train were going to work or returning home from work. During the summer vacation, there will be more college students. Nowadays, the hard seats of most green leather trains should be soft, and there are tables where you can lie down. It should be said that they are much more comfortable than the previous hard plastic seats. In order to maximize carrying capacity, many standing tickets are also available in hard-seat carriages. Especially during the Spring Festival, trains from Beijing to various places will be filled with people, and the entire carriage is also very noisy, with hometown dialects everywhere. The dining car couldn't get through, so the flight attendants had to carry dozens of meals to deliver them over there, and it was hard to squeeze through. The newly built high-speed rail express is traveling farther and faster, but the green train still carries its slow pace and low price, traveling to places that other means of transportation cannot reach, retaining the last hope for people in the mountains. Although the country is developing rapidly, the people in this train seem to be abandoned by the times and left in the past. I can only lament that everything seems to have changed and yet it seems to have stayed the same.
It's been almost a month, when will it be more woo woo?
Update from Mrs. Yee I'm so happy 💪 💪 [orange candy] [orange candy]
