Jade

Shen Yu has a secret. He is a loyal viewer of the video blogger "Wild Fire". The wanton and bold "sexy little wild dog" in the comment area is not compatible with the silent and restrained self in reality. He didn't know that "Wild Fire" was Wei Zigao who slept in the opposite bunk. Wei Zigao also has a secret. He knew who the "sexy little wild dog" was, but he didn't say. He just fell asleep listening to the even breathing of the person in the opposite bunk every night, and then when recording the video, he leaned a little more and paused for two seconds. Four years. Same dormitory, two beds facing each other. Some people are abstinent in front of others and set fire to others behind the scenes, while some people are loose-minded on the surface and have already discovered everything secretly. Testing, pulling, half-pushing, half-giving. Shen Yu collapsed late at night during the postgraduate entrance examination, and Wei Zigao cowered at the end of the corridor after being bullied online - they found reasons to continue in each other. In the end, one was admitted to a prestigious university as a graduate student, and the other was admitted to a civil service. Jade in front of people, desire in the back. Fire tempers jade, and jade nourishes fire. Intent: Good love is not about turning each other into another person, but about making each other a more complete version of themselves. Shen Yu is a piece of jade. The texture was warm and there was light inside, but the surface was sealed too tightly - those desires, softness, and fragile sections were all polished smooth by himself, and he thought it would be safe this way. His way of living is to "collect" and push back all the things that are overflowing. Wei Zigao is a ball of fire. The burning was flamboyant and enthusiastic, as if he didn't care about anything. But he knew that there was nothing underneath the fire - he didn't know what he wanted, he just burned instinctively, covering up the nothingness underneath with heat. His way of living is to "let go", to throw everything out, except to prevent others from seeing the coldness in the core of the fire. They are flammable to each other. Shen Yu's piece of jade was slowly heated by Wei Zigao's fire. Wei Zigao spent four years - using those sideways glances in front of the camera, using those intentional or unintentional touches, and using a cup of milk tea handed to him in the corridor late at night - to dissolve the things sealed by Shen Yu bit by bit. Let him learn to say "I want", learn not to hide, and learn not to carry it alone when he collapses. Wei Zigao's fire was suppressed by Shen Yu's jade. Shen Yu's quiet persistence - sitting at the desk and reading books every day, gritting his teeth and standing up again after being squeezed out of the postgraduate entrance summer camp, and saying "I believe in you" when Wei Zigao was scolded by the whole world - made Wei Zigao's fire that had been floating finally fall into place. Let him find the direction of burning. That's why it's mutual attack. It's not because who is stronger and who is more proactive, but because they both need the part of the other that they lack. Shen Yu needed Wei Zigao to pull him out of his shell, and Wei Zigao needed Shen Yu to give him a solid fulcrum. Two semicircles make up a full circle, and no one is complete without it. In the end, Shen Yu was admitted to graduate school, and Wei Zi was admitted to civil service. It was not that who sacrificed his path for whom, but that the two found the answer to "who do I want to be" in each other, and then walked out separately, and then turned around to find that the other was still there. Jade is quenched by fire to make a vessel, and jade nourishes the fire without extinguishing it. Good love is not burning, it is tempering. It's not melting, it's forming.
