The protagonist's name is Liu Jiang, a very common name, and his life is just like that of the average person, nothing special.

But he had a secret that no one knew, not even his mother.

Liu Jiang likes men. On her first day at university, her roommate, a sports student, came out of the bathroom wearing only his underwear.

Liu Jiang was stunned by his roommate's strong upper body and bulging lower body. After he came to his senses, he drank a lot of cold water to suppress his restlessness.

He is a closeted gay man. His single-parent family background makes him insecure. His strict mother always tells him that he should strive to be successful and not follow the example of those people who do outrageous things.

Being gay is the most outrageous thing a person can do. If his mother knew he liked men, she would be heartbroken.

Liu Jiang kept this secret to himself. Graduation, work, marriage—every time he slept with his wife felt like completing a painful task.

Until that young man appeared, his name was Kang Hang, the "Hang" in "life has just begun".

Kang Hang's eyes were always on Liu Jiang. He did his best to assist him at work, and would desperately drink for Liu Jiang at drinking parties. He would also prepare Gundam toys that Liu Jiang liked for his birthday—a little hobby that neither his mother nor his wife knew about.

Liu Jiang knew that Kang Hang liked him, but he couldn't reciprocate because he was afraid of being discovered by his mother and wife.

Colleagues in the office have begun to speculate that Kang Hang might be gay and have feelings for his boss.

The ambiguous relationship was completely exposed late at night when someone was working overtime.

Kang Hang brought in coffee, and the warm coffee accidentally spilled onto Liu Jiang's shirt.

Their hands touched, and it was as if a chemical reaction occurred. Kang Hang kissed Liu Jiang, eagerly tore his dirty shirt, pressed Liu Jiang against the desk, and took off his pants.

For a few absurd hours, Liu Jiang was held in the arms of the strong Kang Hang, and the two smoked the same brand of cigarettes, filling the office with the scent of love.

The scene that Director Liu wanted Yi Mu to perform was about Liu Jiang and Kang Hang exchanging glances in the office after they confirmed their secret relationship, creating a sweet yet tense atmosphere.

This scene has no dialogue; it's all about eye contact.

Director Liu was more generous than his father. He selected one of the actors who came to audition and asked him to play the role of Yi Mu's character, Kang Hang.

There were also ready-made props on site, including an impressive desk.

Yi Mu sat behind his desk, imagining it was a drowsy afternoon.

His colleagues in the office were all dozing off under various covers. Liu Jiang finished organizing the quarterly data, turned his head to look out the glass, and sure enough, Kang Hang was looking at him.

The two have been having this secret relationship for three months, and their feelings have intensified. They make love in any corner of the office and sneak off to hotels on weekends.

The two gazed at each other from a distance, separated by a pane of clear glass, their eyes filled with love.

Kang Hang was young and impetuous, and every time he saw Liu Jiang, he couldn't help but want to touch him.

His eyes burned with intensity, and Liu Jiang clearly understood what that meant.

He took off his glasses, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes. His features seemed to have been unlocked, and they lit up instantly.

Kang Hang licked his lips at him, his eyes darkening as he stared at Liu Jiang's rosy lips, then picked up a pen from the table and fiddled with it.

A struggle flashed in Liu Jiang's eyes, and she shook her head at Kang Hang in a coquettish manner.

Kang Hang mouthed to him: I'm so hard.

Liu Jiang surveyed the entire office. No one looked up; everyone was dozing off. He swallowed hard, picked up a rather thick fountain pen from his desk, and brought it to his lips.

A man who is usually unremarkable only exudes an alluring charm when doing this kind of thing.

That afternoon, Liu Jiang used a fountain pen to shoot Kang Hang.

Director Liu's face lit up with the joy of finding a treasure. He walked up to Yi Mu's table and excitedly slapped the table.

"Filming for the movie starts next month, and you're the one for Liu Jiang."

The pen, stained with sticky saliva, lay quietly on the table.

Yi Mu stood up, smiled, and said to him, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It's a pleasure working with you."

Director Liu turned around and beckoned to the young man sitting on the stool, "Yan Zhuang, come here and meet your Liu Jiang."

The handsome young man gave a embarrassed, wry smile: "Director, I need to go to the restroom."

The actor who will play Kang Hang has already been cast.

Yan Zhuang, a name I've never heard of.
