[Xiao Yisheng and Shen An]
Ten years ago, Xiao Yisheng was Shen An's boss. He made one wish: to be a good boss and protect Shen An.
Ten years later, Xiao Yisheng is a convict just released from prison, while Shen An is a powerful figure who calls the shots across half the city.
The one thing that hasn't changed is Shen An's unwavering loyalty and care for Xiao Yisheng. As they spend time together, however, he realizes that Shen An's feelings for him are more than simple loyalty. Shen An harbors feelings he shouldn't have.
But Xiao Yisheng never expected that he had always treated Fu Yunjin differently when they were young, and that now, without even realizing it, he had come to feel differently about Shen An too. He had simply never understood his own heart.
Half a lifetime passes in a flash. The boys and girls from high school grow up, and their stories as adults turn out to be so different, filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
This second book is an improvement over the first. I like Shen An and my love for Xiao Yisheng has never changed. The interaction between the two is very good.
