After the Person I Loved Rejected Me, I Let It Go

【Two male leads | Love at first sight | Sweet first love | Healing and redemption | Slow burn】 Gu Chengjing’s life in a nutshell: his younger brother died, his father ignored him, his mother didn’t love him, and he had to shoulder the family’s burdens alone, living like an island. Then he met Zhao Xueyang, a sweet, hardworking “kid” with a tragic background. The kid had no parents, and his grandmother passed away the year he got into college. He was truly a lonely, pitiful soul. A major misunderstanding in the early stages: Gu Chengjing secretly likes him but doesn’t realize it, and mistakenly thinks the kid is dating. In the middle of the night, he lectures him like a father: “You’re only 20. Don’t date yet. Focus on your career!” Zhao Xueyang: ??? Rejected by my crush? My heart is shattered! *cries* The later “chasing-his-wife-to-the-crematorium” phase: Gu Chengjing finally catches on, only to realize he was the one who pushed away the kid who fell for him first. He regrets it so much he could kick himself. He switches to “awkwardly chasing love” mode. He can’t say anything sweet, and the more he tries, the worse it gets. His sincerity does the chasing, while his stubborn mouth keeps sabotaging him. A healing love story where they find their way to each other, starting with a ridiculous misunderstanding~ Excerpt: As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from under the covers. Zhao Xueyang was laughing so hard his whole body shook. Gu Chengjing, pressed against him, could feel it clearly: it was as if there were a little spring bouncing in his arms. Gu Chengjing didn’t stop him. He could laugh all he wanted. Before long, he naturally quieted down, relaxed completely against him, and yawned. With a gentle pat on his back every now and then, Zhao Xueyang soon closed his eyes. Before falling asleep, he murmured good night to Gu Chengjing.
