Though it was their first time meeting, Tan Qingyu had a strange feeling. This neighbor seemed to have known him before, and to have been more than just an acquaintance.
Tan Qingyu: I think your voice sounds familiar too. Don't try to fool me.
"Lin Guan": Oh, I was putting it on.
Tan Qingyu: ...
He had thought the other guy was a "well-behaved kid" who looked aloof but answered every question. He never expected him to be a socially anxious liar who avoided questions.
Tan Qingyu: Why don't you ever call me by my name?
"Lin Guan": (pretending to sleep)
The longer Tan Qingyu knew him, the more he noticed: the blurry face in a graduation photo, the fleeting silhouette of a young man that sometimes crossed his mind, and those familiar words...
Tan Qingyu x "Lin Guan"
The gong seems gentle but is actually distant, and makes exceptions for the one he loves.
The shou seems cold and well-behaved, but says outrageous things with a perfectly straight face.
Note:
* All character issues belong to the author.
* I'm not a good writer, there's not much plot, and it's a bit melodramatic.
* The timeline jumps around a lot, so it's rather fragmented and may feel fast-paced.
* The work-related details are completely made up, and the middle and high schools are fictional.
* Fictional. Do not imitate.
Theme: Don't get trapped in the past
