The Past in Haicheng: Pursuing the Light of Freedom

In the summer when they were seventeen, Li Jintang and Jiang Xun were the two most ordinary high school students in Haicheng No. 1 Middle School. They sweated together on the small town's golf course, shared a skewer of roasted lamb in the alley late at night, and slept together in the same bed for countless unaccompanied nights. They are each other's best friends, the one person in each other's life "for as long as they can remember." They think this is friendship. Until one sultry summer night, Jiang Xun felt uncontrollable desire for the first time next to the sleeping Li Jintang. Those thoughts that were growing wildly in the darkness told him that he had feelings for this brother he had grown up with since childhood, and that he should not have feelings for him. A sudden heavy rain and a kiss under the streetlight completely tore apart the disguise that the two teenagers had tried so hard to maintain. It turns out that some feelings never need to be proven. It turns out that liking someone is not a choice, but an instinct. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
