Even if they were good friends before, he would still blackball them without any hesitation, keeping them completely out of his world.This relationship that shouldn’t appear would be easy to discover.

Q: Who are the main characters?

Ye Yao
- Lu Xun's very good friend
- Closeted gay but exhibits more straight behavior than Lu Xun.
- He hid having a crush on Lu Xun for so many years because he didn't want Lu Xun to feel disgusted by him.
- He easily gives in to anything Lu Xun does. However, he is also rational enough to recognize when he should stay away from Lu Xun.

Lu Xun
- Homophobic but acts more gay than Ye Yao. His homophobia and different perception of friendship stemmed from something deeper.
- Has history of being homophobic to guys who have confessed to him and he is difficult to get close to.
- Possessive of Ye Yao! No other person should be Ye Yao's best friend except for him.
- He initiates the most intimate and clingy actions with Ye Yao and pass it as "best friends do that, are you not my best friend anymore?"

Q: Why you should read?

Well... why not?

- It's a light-hearted love story that I highly recommend if you want something short and refreshing to read.
- I'm 100% sure you'll get frustrated with Lu Xun and his constant denial, but he'll change! And also get ready for a bunch of miscommunication... they are both not straightforward (hahaha did you get it?)
- The best and most supportive family in danmei universe!
- Lu Xun can get very sussy however he puts Ye Yao's happiness and safety above all!
- Ye Yao has so much respect to Lu Xun and would never do anything that he thinks would make him mad (even though Lu Xun will never get mad at him)
