This article is a slow coming-of-age novel with two male protagonists. The male protagonist is Lu Chi (a street boy, domineering and unruly, emphasizing love and righteousness), and the second male protagonist Shen Zhixu (a top student in school, aloof and abstinent, cold and distant). The two are involved in a sudden street fight. An unexpected encounter, from the initial confrontation and alienation to the gradual approach and mutual redemption, slowly breeds a restrained and profound bond in the mud and light of youth. The full text is fast-forwarded without any nonsense, focusing on delicate, slow-burning, and two-way healing.
