[Cold on the outside, wounded and world-weary shou × gentle, devoted, redemptive gong]
Xiang Chenguang's world completely collapsed when he was seventeen.
His father was brutally killed, his mother was the murderer, and his family fell apart. Diagnosed with severe depression and schizophrenia, he lived alone in a cramped room in the city village, like a walking corpse that refused to rot.
Until Chu Jing entered his life again
That vaguely remembered "big brother" was now a dazzling top student, yet stubbornly determined to shield him from every storm.
"You promised when we were kids that you'd be my little brother, so you'll be my little brother for life."
"No one can change that. Not even you."
But when Xiang Chenguang accidentally discovers that the shadow of a criminal gang's remnants lies behind his father's death, he chooses to step into the darkness alone, using himself as bait to lure the snake from its hole.
Chu Jing grabs him back from the edge of the abyss:
"I need you, Xiang Chenguang!"
"So stay. We'll walk through the darkness together and keep going until we reach the light."
