Wen Yun met Ji Youzhi when he was six. They played together for nine years, making them childhood friends in all but name.
As a child, Ji Youzhi hardly ever spoke, but he gave Wen Yun anything he wanted. No one understood Wen Yun better.
Before he knew it, his feelings for Wen Yun had changed into something more.
But nine years later, Wen Yun left without a word, and they lost all contact. The child he had raised with his own hands had run away. That very day, he told his family he was in love with him, scaring his parents so much they fled the province overnight.
Three years later, fate brought them together again. But no matter how close they had once been, Wen Yun’s sudden disappearance had driven a wedge between them.
In public, Ji Youzhi kept his distance and wouldn’t let anyone get close. In private, he was entirely different: on a deserted path, he pinned Wen Yun against a wall and held on to his hand so he couldn’t run, his gaze no longer cold as he asked, “Wen Yun, don’t you have anything to say?”
Wen Yun took the initiative, looking utterly aggrieved. “I’m sorry.” And just like that, he soothed him.

1. The story opens with their reunion. The romance is a slow burn, so don’t read if that’s not your thing.
2. Some of the details might not be quite right, so treat them as fictional and don’t take them seriously.
3. The characters’ values don’t necessarily reflect the author’s.
4. They’re childhood friends, more or less, with no blood relation. This is not pseudo-incest.
5. Rekindled romance and a secret crush.
6. Both are untouched, and it’s a one-on-one romance.
