During the summer break of his first year of high school, Qin Yiguan wandered down a long alley and rented a room.

The person who had told him to move aside during the day came out of the shower and found himself face-to-face with Qin Yiguan. Then he walked into the room opposite.

The new neighbor asked, "You came out without telling your parents?"

Qin Yiguan replied, "They're both gone."

His neighbor felt awful for the rest of the night.

One day, Qin Yiguan happened upon his neighbor's report card and asked, "Your grades are so good. Which university did you go to?"

His neighbor said, "That's why I never took the college entrance exam."

Qin Yiguan felt awful for the rest of the night.

After that, Qin Yiguan treated his neighbor like a private tutor, while his neighbor treated him like a new hope.

Falling asleep in each other's arms was an illusion. Their everyday life was total chaos.

Whenever he had a spare moment, Qin Yiguan would rush off to make a phone call. He'd even sneak out during lunch study period instead of taking a nap.

A guy who lived upstairs said, "You skip sleep and even going to the bathroom just to make a call. Are you two really just tutor and student? Why doesn't Brother Meng keep an eye on me like that?"

Whenever there was a school holiday, he would go with his neighbor to the studio.

His neighbor's coworker, who had it in for him, asked, "So you're the precious little brother Meng Yushu keeps by his side all the time? You're so clingy. Are you two really brothers?"

Qin Yiguan said, "Heh ^^. We're just on the receiving end of one-sided bickering."

Fate played a cruel trick, and the heavens set out to make a fool of him.

One day, his neighbor's feelings for him fell to pieces.

Qin Yiguan swore he would never again like someone as bland as water, someone so insubstantial he couldn't hold on to anything.

He left behind two summers, went away to university, and never came back.

Still, he couldn't help feeling that his place was haunted.

A missing trinket miraculously reappeared, and he always felt someone was following him when he walked down the street.

Six years later, he discovered the ghost was his old neighbor, the scumbag who had heartlessly dumped him after less than two months of dating.

The man even smiled calmly and said, "Happy New Year, little treasure."

What a weirdo. Qin Yiguan turned away. "We're not making up. We're not close. Don't see me."

Later, someone asked why he wouldn't make up with him.

Qin Yiguan said, "If we make up, you'll definitely settle the score with me."

Meng Yushu replied, "...That's the only reason?"

Everything perfect in this world is imperfect, and everything imperfect is perfect. What matters most is having the courage to make peace with yourself and keep writing your story.

His buddy: "I can't believe my two neighbors have been getting together all these years :)"

His friend: "Next time you come to me crying, transfer me five hundred for emotional damages. Thanks."
