After five years of marriage, Xie Qingci realizes that his husband, Wen Ci, is a little different in public and in private.
In public, he is Manager Wen, a forceful and promising young executive who turns down every romantic overture. His catchphrase is, “I have a boyfriend, and my family rules are strict.” In private, he is an affectionate, clingy puppy, devoted to two things: cooking for Xie Qingci and finding new ways to pamper him.
Xie Qingci once thought that, sooner or later, an old married couple would settle into a dull routine. Until... Wen Ci holds him in his arms while they watch the news and get intimate. At the company’s annual gala, someone hits on Xie Qingci, and Wen Ci calls him right away: “That scared me to death, honey! Come pick me up!” Xie Qingci reaches the pinnacle of his academic career, and Wen Ci applauds from below, his eyes fixed on him alone.
Later, Wen Ci gets promoted, travels for work, and grows busier by the day. Yet he still makes sure Xie Qingci has home-cooked meals every week, and brings him a gift every time he returns. Looking at the treasures filling their cabinets, Xie Qingci finally understands: love isn’t something you use up. It’s falling in love with the same person again and again through the little moments of everyday life.
