Old Debts, New Repayment

Before they broke up, Zhuang Ning loved fine wine, delicious food, luxury cars, and a lively scene. He drifted through life, with no interest in studying or doing anything worthwhile.

After they reunited, Zhuang Ning seemed to have so much to say. In the end, he only sighed softly. "I don't... really like sweets anymore."

After being apart for so long, they should have met again with a little more dignity.

Two years later, Qin Shufeng ran into the ex-boyfriend who had once "forced" himself on him. He tried again and again to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

He absolutely refused to admit that he still had any feelings for him, baseless as they might be. But his gaze and thoughts couldn't help straying off course, again and again.

My heartbeat is more honest than I am.

[Cold-faced underwear-washing gong x beautiful, down-and-out shou]

Reader's guide:

1. An early writing exercise, so the writing is somewhat rough.

2. The shou is a spoiled, difficult playboy at first, but his personality changes later on.

3. The protagonists are each other's only ones, in both body and heart, but misunderstandings and prejudice get in the way.
