He Hang looked up the word later.
Antaeus, a giant from Greek mythology, was invincible as long as his feet remained on the ground. Once lifted off it, he lost all his strength.
After reading that, he thought: Qiao Yan'an is my ground.
In their first year of high school, He Hang sat by the window when Qiao Yan'an walked in through the door. Sunlight fell on him, and he smiled at the whole class. For the first time, He Hang realized that when someone smiled, their eyes could curve like that.
He had a crush on him for two years.
Then they got together.
Then they broke up.
And later, they met again.
He Hang thought Qiao Yan'an had changed. What he didn't know was that Qiao Yan'an had hidden away the boy he used to be. He'd hidden him so deeply that even He Hang no longer recognized him.
He had been waiting all along, waiting for He Hang to open that door and let the boy out.
