Wang Yibo has a secret. He doesn't like his friend like a friend should, but loves him much more than that. He was fine with just being friends if it meant he could stay beside him for endless times to come. And that was certainly enough at the time. So it had never been a problem to hide his feelings from him. Yet one day, when Xiao Zhan starts acting weird, Yibo can't help but get involved in his affairs, only to find out the dirty secret he has. The dirty secret which he has been keeping behind red curtains, only for those to see who desired him most. Status: Completed

Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo have one unbreakable rule: what happens outside the university stays outside the university. To everyone at Bristol University, Xiao Zhan is a respected professor, and Wang Yibo is nothing more than his student and the university's football captain. Their interactions are professional, distant, and carefully controlled. No one knows that, beyond the university gates, they share a home... and a love they've spent years keeping hidden. But the life they've carefully built is about to be tested. As suspicious eyes begin following them, the walls around their quiet world slowly begin to close in. Powerful enemies return, old loyalties are tested, and dangerous lies resurface. And impossible choices threaten to destroy everything they've fought so hard to protect. When the line between love and truth begins to blur, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo must decide how much they're willing to risk for each other. In a story of forbidden love, hidden truths, betrayal, and second chances, one question remains... Can love survive when the truth is the most dangerous secret of all? ⚠️ Trigger Warnings / Disclaimers: • This fanfic contains BL (Boys' Love) / homosexual themes. • Sexual content is included - reader discretion is advised (18+). • The characters in this fanfic are entirely fictional. • While the names Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are used, this work is not based on their real lives or personalities. • This fanfic has no affiliation or connection with the real individuals. • The story is created purely for entertainment purposes. • Cover photo is for visual reference only - no real-life association intended. • If you're uncomfortable with any of the above themes, please feel free to skip this story.
