Jiao Xin hates trouble, but before the team leader transferred away, he left Jiao Xin with a troublesome assignment.
Looking at the intern, who was more than half a head taller than him and had a streak of purple dyed through his hair, Jiao Xin could already imagine what the next few months would be like.
Jiao Xin likes quiet and solitude, but Qiao Lexun is always finding reasons to come over. Work, life, trivial everyday matters: he seems to have endless things to talk about.
Their social boundaries are constantly being crossed. At last, Jiao Xin can't take it anymore and asks, "Why do you have to touch my hand whenever you talk to me?"
Qiao Lexun, his paw resting on Jiao Xin's arm, says, "To remind you to listen to me."
"I am listening."
"I know, but this way you'll listen more attentively."
Unable to understand, Jiao Xin speaks before he can think: "That doesn't make me listen more attentively. It just makes me feel violated."
After saying it, he regrets it a little. He's not used to being so close to people, but he doesn't want to hurt anyone with his words. Besides, Qiao Lexun only touches his hand now and then. It's not as if he's done anything terribly wrong.
He thinks such blunt words will drive the other man away, and things will finally be easier.
But Qiao Lexun only looks him in the eyes and corrects him seriously: "Violated. The first syllable has a long i sound."
Fine.
He's confirmed it again: he doesn't like dealing with people, and he doesn't like this overly enthusiastic intern who has no sense of personal boundaries.
The guy even insists on waiting for him so they can eat together. Does he expect them to go to the bathroom together too?
Somehow, they have ended up in a strange, almost intimate relationship. Jiao Xin doesn't understand it, and he isn't used to it.
But when Qiao Lexun goes out and there's no one around to bother him, Jiao Xin finds himself missing the routine.
Jiao Xin doesn't like feeling as if someone else is leading him around by the nose. He plans to keep his distance from Qiao Lexun and return to his peaceful life as it was.
But the more he pulls away, the more tightly Qiao Lexun clings to him.
Until one day, Jiao Xin wakes up with a hangover and finds Qiao Lexun sleeping in his bed, still buried inside him.
Jiao Xin covers his face. "This was an accident."

The moment Qiao Lexun sees Jiao Xin, his heart skips a beat.
Composed, elegant, mysterious, captivating.
No words in the world are beautiful enough to describe Jiao Xin.
But that man always wears a beautiful face while saying the cruelest things.
Qiao Lexun says helplessly, "Jiao Xin, that's your name. Why is it so hard to open your heart to me?"
"Because I hate dealing with people."
Qiao Lexun can't believe it. "But humans are social animals."
"That's what primitive people are like. Modern civilization and technology can already provide everything you need to live alone."
Only after his Nth defeat does Qiao Lexun realize that he's fallen for a cold-blooded animal.

He is fire. Getting close to him burns me.
