The cold and taciturn Nian Shou Gong × the fire trauma, low self-esteem and vulnerability
A fire destroyed Nan Xing's entire family and sense of security when he was six years old. After being adopted by the Pei family, he lived to be the most perfect "sojourner" in everyone's eyes: sensible, quiet, and never causing trouble to anyone.
Only Pei Yan knew that beneath this thin and docile body was hidden bottomless fear and self-denial.
Nan Xing was accustomed to hiding in a corner, using silence and flattery in exchange for shelter. He was haunted by nightmares every night and did not dare to reveal any grievances. He always acquiesced that taking care of Pei Yan was only his brother's duty, and he would feel guilty if he was in any trouble.
Until that late night when he woke up with a start, he huddled in the master bedroom, thinking that he would eventually be abandoned——
Pei Yan locked the door, held him firmly in his arms, and said in a low and determined voice:
"With me, you don't have to please anyone."
Suffering from stomach ailments, insomnia, lingering rumors, and repeated self-confidence, Pei Yan never spoke tender words of love, but only took small actions to reveal the truth: always keeping warm orange water, secretly stuffing soft toast into his school bag, seeing through him pretending to be asleep to avoid guilt, and tapping his cheek with his fingertips to express his only indulgence.
There is no forced physical abuse or bloody bullying in the whole text, and it spreads long-term two-way self-healing through delicate daily life.
Subsequent chapters will link up with another pair of protagonists from the same worldview: the grumpy, tough-tongued and crazy Lu Jin × the straightforward and soft-hearted follower Su Nuo. The two redemption lines run parallel.
A fire took away his complete home, but gave him a lover who was willing to spend the rest of his life healing him.

Philosophy: Pei Yan comes from a happy family. When he was nine years old, his family adopted Nan Xing, a six-year-old who lost his parents in the fire. Nan Xing has been stung by rumors about his life all year round, and the article provides scattered information about his various abnormal states of depression and depression. Until his adoptive parents diagnosed him with depression, all the foreshadowing in the previous article was taken away. Pei Yan used his long-term companionship to heal Nan Xing, who was deeply depressed and traumatized. The two relied on each other for life.
