In college, Shen Yu and Gu Yao were together for three and a half years, but ultimately couldn’t make it through the breakup season after graduation.

On a midsummer night in the rain, Shen Yu called it quits. Gu Yao’s eyes were bloodshot, brimming with tears, and his gaze was icy. “Whatever your reasons, I’ll never forgive you.”

“Then don’t forgive me.”

“Get lost. I never want to see you again.”

Gu Yao did everything he could to piece himself back together. His old wounds gradually faded, and he locked their past away in the dark. Three years passed, and at last he was truly able to move on and look ahead.

Then Shen Yu came back.

“I’m sorry.”

“We both wanted it, so there’s no need to apologize. Words like ‘long time no see’ and ‘I hope you’ve been well’ carry a sense of expectation, and they don’t suit us. Now, the only way to describe our relationship is that we’re strangers.”

Shen Yu barged back into Gu Yao’s life like a bandit.

“Have you no shame?”

“I’m pursuing you. Why would I need shame?”

As an easygoing actor in the entertainment industry, Gu Yao had never taken an endorsement, filmed a commercial, or appeared on a variety show before. But because of his shameless ex, he did all three, his defenses crumbling one step at a time.

Until one rainy night, reeking of alcohol, he grabbed Shen Yu by the collar and choked out, “Shen Yu, I hate you so much. I told you I’d never forgive you.”

“Mm.”

A moment later, his sobbing finally turned into full-fledged crying. “Shen Yu, why did it take you so long to come back?”

“I’m sorry.”

As he finally lost consciousness, all that remained was a murmur. “Shen Yu, I missed you so much.”

I hate you, but I love you even more.
