Synopsis

What does growing up cost?

For Chi Yuan, it meant losing someone he had planned to include in his future.

Five years ago, just as Chi Yuan was nearing the end of his rebellious phase, Shen Xiuliu left for another country. That was when Chi Yuan truly learned what it meant to lose someone, and how deeply it could hurt.

Their distant farewell at the airport became a nightmare that haunted Chi Yuan late at night. Again and again, he relived Shen Xiuliu's impulsive words in his dreams: "I'm sorry."

Five years later, they met again. Chi Yuan drank himself senseless at a work event, then clung to Shen Xiuliu in a drunken fit and begged him to take him home. In the familiar apartment, Chi Yuan's eyes red, he asked, "It's been five years, Shen Xiuliu. About the question I asked at the airport, is your answer still the same as it was back then?"

After a long silence, Shen Xiuliu offered only a quiet apology.

Chi Yuan fled in disarray. Once sober, he packed his things and hid far away. He thought that was the end of it.

Until Shen Xiuyuan cornered him in a shabby alley, breathing unevenly. "Chi Yuan, are you avoiding me?"

"No." The alley was dim, and Chi Yuan did his best to hide the tremor in his voice. "I just don't think there's any reason for us to see each other anymore."

"There is a reason," Shen Xiuyuan said. "Because I've started pursuing you."

Chi Yuan retorted indignantly, "Just because you're pursuing me, that doesn't mean I have to say yes."

"Mm." Shen Xiuyuan shamelessly agreed, then smiled. "But I'm such a bastard. You can make me work for it."

I don't think I'm the only one who thinks Uncle Shen is the bottom, but the older man/younger woman dynamic is quite refreshing. It's the first time I've read a story with an older man/younger woman dynamic. So far, this book is the type I like. There's no liking without reason; the feelings between the characters develop gradually over time.

It's so good! The synopsis alone was right up my alley (I don't know why, but I absolutely love stories of broken relationships mended). And as I read on, I was so happy! 🥰🥰 Although the story hasn't progressed to the point of separation yet, there are subtle signs that they're about to. The story unfolds naturally, and currently it seems to be a mutual unrequited love.

After a long and winding journey, I finally finished reading this book, albeit with some stumbles and setbacks. [I haven't even touched the side stories yet. (I'm ashamed.)] I really loved this book. Initially, I came across this story because of its "wife-chasing-after-the-wives-after-the-cremation" plot; the synopsis inexplicably piqued my curiosity about Shen Xiuyuan's pursuit of his wife.

I'm here!!! This is obviously a great story, okay? The protagonist's family background is a little bit angsty in the beginning (just a little bit), but it gets super sweet later on. (Although I haven't finished reading it yet.) But any story by Wei Xiaomo has to be super sweet, okay?

It's really great, definitely worth watching. Every character is vividly portrayed. Chi Yujin loves Chi Yuan very much, but because of his sister and his career, he couldn't be there for Chi Yuan, to watch him grow up. He must have been heartbroken.

It's great! I love older man/younger woman relationships ❤️ I hope the author keeps up the good work and updates more often.

It's super good! Both characters have great personalities; I love watching gentle, older men with dominant personalities. 💕💕

The author's writing is superb! Young Chi's feelings for Shen were subtle yet passionate, while five years later, Chi is mature and reserved, possessing the ability and courage to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Shen. She still harbors the same youthful love and sincerity towards him, while Shen always treats Chi with the respect due to an elder.
