Clever Bottom x Obsessive Top, Bitter Rivals, Exiled Abroad, Mutual Redemption, Angsty Love, A Slow-Burning Story
This is the story of Lin Ruihe at twenty-two.
It took Lin Ruihe only half a year to fall from the heights: the Lin family went bankrupt. Along with the bankruptcy came his mother's sudden death, his father and younger brother being detained, and creditors relentlessly hounding him.
As he cautiously struggled through each day, trying to save his younger brother while creditors chased him, yet another problem barged into his miserable life: an underclassman who started giving him trouble without a word of explanation.
Lin Ruihe knew Geng Xiao hated him. His eyes were full of disgust whenever he looked at him. So Lin Ruihe made a point of keeping his distance, yet time and again, this very person rescued him from one dangerous situation after another.
“Why?” Lin Ruihe asked Geng Xiao. “I have nothing to offer you.”
But Geng Xiao kissed him softly.
Geng Xiao had been abandoned in Germany by his parents for four years. As an illegitimate child, he had to be kept well hidden. He lived like a lone wolf, with only a bodyguard in the enormous villa to watch him waste away and clean up his messes. Until he met Lin Ruihe again.
Only after experiencing disgust, panic, heartache, disappointment, and joy did he finally understand: what he had always wanted was Lin Ruihe's love.
“Lin Ruihe, did you ever love me?” Geng Xiao asked, unwilling to give up.
“No,” Lin Ruihe said, turning his face slightly away.
Lin Ruihe: This man was the greatest stroke of luck in his life, while he was probably the greatest misfortune in Lin Ruihe's.
Geng Xiao: I search through every memory for the smallest trace that you loved me.
