I Thought No One Would Save Me

[Male-Male Romance · Short Story · Devoted Love · Healing · Saving Each Other · Bittersweet]

At 31, Cheng Jiaming met 19-year-old Tang Xiaochi, a troubled boy who had fallen into prostitution, during a night out to “unwind.” Afterward, he took pity on him and gave him all the money in his pockets. He thought they would never cross paths again, but just before Tang Xiaochi jumped from a building, Cheng Jiaming happened to save him and take him home. The two became each other’s family. Without realizing it, the puppy-like boy hid his vulnerability as love quietly grew in his eyes.

Thinking of Tang Xiaochi’s future, Cheng Jiaming sold the courtyard house he had saved up to buy and took him to the city to study photography. He bought him a camera worth tens of thousands. A man who was miserly with himself spent all his money on Tang Xiaochi.

When Tang Xiaochi suddenly kissed him and confessed his feelings, Cheng Jiaming thought he was too old for him and cruelly turned him down. But the pup started playing hard to get. After a period of push and pull, Cheng Jiaming was finally ready to accept him.

To celebrate Tang Xiaochi’s graduation, Cheng Jiaming bought a car to surprise him. But on the day he went to pick it up, a car with failed brakes hit him and ran over him a second time, damaging his sciatic and femoral nerves and leaving him unable to stand.

Cheng Jiaming felt as though the sky had fallen. Unwilling to burden Tang Xiaochi, he cruelly rejected him and tried to drive him away. Tang Xiaochi crouched beside his wheelchair and grinned brightly. “Ge, I’m not leaving you. Unless I’m dead, you’re not getting away from me either. If you try, I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your life sitting right here.”

❤️

From that day on, Tang Xiaochi took full responsibility for supporting their household and caring for his ge. In the face of Tang Xiaochi’s unwavering devotion, Cheng Jiaming also chose to bravely embrace their relationship.
