[Highly sensitive, frail lawyer gong x psychologist shou + both are each other's first + HE + rekindled love after a breakup + regretful pursuit]
Five years later, when Qi Wan saw Gu Zhiyu again in the hospital's psychology department, he was so thin he looked like a skeleton.
Qi Wan wanted so badly to ask why he had left without a word five years ago. But when he finally stood in front of Gu Zhiyu, every word caught in his throat, and all he could do was let the tears stream down his face.
By a twist of fate, Qi Wan became Gu Zhiyu's psychologist. Their feelings began to warm again, but Qi Wan was afraid to get too close because of their doctor-patient relationship.
They lived together for three days, then separated again. After a month of cold war, Gu Zhiyu fainted from overwork during a follow-up appointment. Somehow, word of it reached Qi Wan. The two got back together, only for malicious rumors about them to be spread online by someone, leaving Qi Wan subjected to online abuse.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Zhiyu should have kept his distance to avoid giving the other side the impression that he would bend the rules for his lover. But Gu Zhiyu didn't care about any of that. The online abusers were in the wrong to begin with, and even if he pursued the matter strictly according to the law, they wouldn't stand a chance of winning.
After all that turmoil, the two reconciled and their feelings grew warmer once more.
