CompletedJiang Nian transmigrated into a Danmei novel as the childhood friend of the protagonist shou. This character was a sickly young master born with a silver spoon, a noble and abstinent gentleman.
His role was minimal, only needing to accompany his childhood friend when he was confused about his feelings, and then, through casual chats, help the protagonist recognize his true heart.
As long as he smoothly navigated the plot, he could live a stable life in this world. With few scenes and great rewards, Jiang Nian was very satisfied with this role.
Life in this world was good in all aspects, the only thing Jiang Nian was dissatisfied with was that this body was too weak, and he had endless medicine to take. He was treated like a porcelain doll every day, carefully looked after. He couldn't do this, couldn't do that, and wanting to go out for fun was harder than ascending to heaven.
One day, Jiang Nian evaded everyone and climbed over the wall to go out. He slipped and fell from the wall, landing right into the arms of the protagonist gong who had come to the neighbor's house to find his childhood friend.
Looking at the man's handsome face, Jiang Nian whispered, "I said I accidentally flew out, do you believe me?"
The protagonist gong looked at his pale face, his eyes deep and dark, his lips curving slightly like a hunter seeing his prey. "I believe you."
Unexpectedly, the other party immediately understood his subtle hint and didn't expose him. Jiang Nian was touched and said, "You are truly a good person."
The two pinky-swore a vow that the protagonist gong wouldn't tell anyone about this, and Jiang Nian once again gave him a 'good person' card.
After this accidental encounter, Jiang Nian noticed that the protagonist gong frequently appeared in his life. His childhood friend also asked the protagonist gong to take good care of him, and one day even told the protagonist gong to take him out to play, so he wouldn't always be cooped up at home.
Jiang Nian said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Although the two protagonists were currently only work partners and would only develop a romantic relationship later, him being a 'light bulb' here would seriously hinder their romantic progress. He refused on the grounds of feeling unwell, stayed home honestly for a few days, and finally couldn't resist going out, only to be caught red-handed by the protagonist gong.
After that night, even someone as slow-witted as Jiang Nian realized that the protagonist gong's gaze at him was off.
Jiang Nian: "Calm down, your official match is over there!"
