[Redemption]
Yu Sheng (sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, prickly bottom) x Zhou Yiquan (straightforward, proactive, scheming top)
[Two male leads + both each other's first and only + childhood sweethearts + youth and campus + mutual unrequited love + saying one thing and meaning another + reunion after a long separation]
#ChildhoodFriendsToLovers #HeLovesHimSoMuch#
Yu Sheng sees Zhou Yiquan again at university.
After being apart for so many years, Yu Sheng thinks he's gotten used to being alone.
But when he moves in with Zhou Yiquan, and Zhou keeps coming close to him as if he's become a different person, Yu Sheng can't bring himself to push him away.
He tells Zhou to stay away, but still allows him to get close.
-
Their separation six years ago was caused by a misunderstanding. Yu Sheng only finds out much later.
So he assumes Zhou is doing all this to win back his old friend.
But while Yu Sheng is being tormented by his family troubles, Zhou says:
“Yu Sheng, I'm not doing all this so we can go back to being ordinary friends.”
“I'm here to love you.”

Zhou Yiquan's inner thoughts:
It's strange. Yu Sheng seems to have a gift for making people happy. Just looking at him makes my heart feel like fireworks are crackling inside it.
A lot of people probably think Yu Sheng is hard to talk to, like a freezing winter radiating cold. But to me, he's more like a spring rain after a long winter. The fine raindrops falling are just like my heart, letting its little secrets slip out.
