As a teenager, Jiang Wenqi handed Mu Xi a book in the library. At night, though, he wore a mature black shirt behind the bar and smiled. “Would you like me to top up your drink?”
Mu Xi rescued a bloodied boy and learned that they attended the same school. The two became desk mates, and their relationship grew closer. But after the final fire, Jiang Wenqi lay on the bed and wept. “I have no home anymore, and I don’t have a mother anymore.”
Moved, Mu Xi said, “If nothing else, you can think of me as family.”
A few days later, Jiang Wenqi disappeared from Yuncheng.
After they entered university, the two grew closer day by day. Jiang Wenqi’s fierce affection and relentless pursuit eventually made Mu Xi fall for him.
But as he slowly revealed his ambitions, he devoured all of Mu Xi’s resources.
