In their first year of high school, Qiao Yan'an was the most sunlike person He Xing had ever met.
During military training, he would sneak breakfast into He Xing's desk. At the talent show, he would play the guitar just for him. During night drills, he would grab He Xing and pull him back whenever he wandered off course.
Then Qiao Yan'an's family fell apart, and his mother tore the couple apart. He Xing crouched by the roadside, blood running from his foot, and didn't get up even after dark.
Years later, He Xing opened the door of a cafe and found Qiao Yan'an sitting across from him. They spent the afternoon discussing work over steaming coffee. Apart from saying, "It's been a long time," neither of them brought up what had happened back then.
On the day they got back together, He Xing wanted to tell him about all the pain he had endured over the years. But when he opened his mouth, all he tasted were bitter tears. It turned out neither of them had managed to find their footing after leaving each other. But the moment they returned to this land, their feet finally touched the ground.
Theme: Love isn't salvation. It's about becoming each other's home.
