[Dual male leads + childhood friends + reunion after years apart + fake second chance romance + healing]
Qi Yu and Yan Xu first met as children during a kidnapping.
Qi Yu risked his life to save Yan Xu, and the two became inseparable childhood friends.
He thought Yan Xu would never leave him, but after they started college, Yan Xu suddenly cut off contact and vanished without a trace.
It was simply in Qi Yu’s nature not to ask, so he assumed their friendship had faded.
He didn’t know that Yan Xu loved him too much to settle for being just friends, yet was too afraid to confess. He distanced himself to force himself to let go.

After they reunite, the drama reaches its peak:
Yan Xu: We’re not friends anymore.
Qi Yu: Huh? We aren’t?
Their friends: Wait, you two aren’t?
A reunion after years apart, followed by a drunken confession, brings the truth crashing into the open.
It turns out that all these years, Qi Yu wasn’t imagining things, and he wasn’t an unwanted extra. They had both been clumsily loving and missing each other.

That spring, after his grandfather passed away, Qi Yu could barely keep going. He even thought about ending it all.
But on his birthday, Yan Xu’s gift still arrived right on time.
Clinging to that faint glimmer of hope, he somehow made it through the bleak spring and waited for winter to bring the snow.
And this time, he wasn’t disappointed:
He really did get to see the person he hadn’t seen in so long.

On the day Yan Xu returned to the country for his birthday, he found a mountain of packages piled up in the storage room and realized that Qi Yu had never been absent from his life during all those years apart.
This time, he was the one with red-rimmed eyes, chasing after Qi Yu every step of the way.
“Qi Yu, I’m sorry.
This time, I want to be more than your childhood friend.”
