After both his parents died, Su Sheng went to live with Uncle Xie, a friend of his late father, and met Xie Cun.
Xie Cun was cold on the outside but warmhearted and patient. He put up with all of Su Sheng's caprices and took special care of his frail health, preparing low-salt, low-fat meals for him.
For a while, the elevator was broken, so Xie Cun carried Su Sheng up and down nineteen flights of stairs for half a month.
When the elevator was finally fixed, Su Sheng looked at Xie Cun, who had crouched in front of him out of muscle memory, and felt his heart beat faster than ever.

Su Sheng loved Xie Cun.
He loved him so much that he wouldn't give up even after being rejected. He kept pestering him, even after being rejected again and again.
He used every trick he could, exploiting Xie Cun's kindness and pretending to be weak and miserable. It worked every time.
Once again, he pretended to be weak and tricked Xie Cun into picking him up from a bar.
Half a glass of cocktail, and one night of reckless passion.
Looking at the mess all over the floor, Xie Cun's eyes blazed with fury.
His clenched fist never struck Su Sheng's face. Instead, Xie Cun laughed, his eyes full of contempt, disappointment, and intense disgust. "Get out!"
-
Su Sheng had no way to explain. He called Xie Cun over and over all night, and finally got through just before his battery died.
Xie Cun's voice was colder than ever, dripping with sarcasm. "Feeling sick again?"
Su Sheng: "Yeah."
Su Sheng: "I think I'm going to die."
Xie Cun sneered. "Then go die."

At first, Xie Cun had only taken pity on Su Sheng for losing both his parents, which was why he looked after him.
He never expected Su Sheng to fall in love with him, much less sink so low as to use such a despicable, underhanded trick!
After leaving him waiting all night, Xie Cun had wanted to hear Su Sheng's explanation and then cut ties with him for good.
Who knew Su Sheng would pull the same stunt again, hoping to trick him into another round?
In a fit of anger, Xie Cun said the words that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
The only son of the Su family died of a heart attack in the early hours of this morning.
At the funeral, the lawyer read Su Sheng's will, which he had written long ago. He left all his property to Xie Cun.
Friends and relatives envied Xie Cun for coming into a vast fortune.
But Xie Cun felt that he had... lost everything.
When he opened his eyes again, Xie Cun was back at the bar that night.
Frailer bottom, bittersweet push and pull, written to indulge my tastes~
