    Some say detention centers are "rehabilitation centers," forbidding love that is unacceptable to society. Yu An and Huo Qingyan grew up together; he knew how much the other had cared for him. But when he confessed his feelings, all he received in return was Huo Qingyan's disgust and disdain. Dark clouds gathered, threatening rain. Huo Qingyan reached out and grabbed Yu An's wrist, telling him to go home first. In the past, such a touch would have made Yu An happy for a long time, but now he only felt nauseous and frightened. His face turned pale, and he violently shook off the hand, turning his face away and dry heaving. The intense physical and mental pain made him want to die. Huo Qingyan froze, looking at his own hand, unable to believe that a simple touch could evoke such disgust in Yu An.
