The summer when Shen Yuxing was cornered by reality, he only had 300 yuan and a USB flash drive filled with resumes.
When he was at his most embarrassed, a pair of amber eyes appeared in front of him.
Cheng Xingye, a retired e-sports player, lives in a run-down Internet cafe left behind by his father, living like an isolated island forgotten by the world. He gave Shen Yuxing a job, a room, a pot of green radish on the windowsill, and another sentence - "Two homeless people are roommates from today on."
Together they repaired a server that crashed every three days, drank terrible beer together on the rooftop, and saw the light in each other's eyes clearly through candlelight at night during a power outage.
Shen Yuxing said: "My name is Shen Yuxing, and I am an island. Your name is Cheng Xingye, and you are the stars in the wilderness. Is it just right for the stars to fall on the island?"
Cheng Xingye didn't answer.
But he kissed him.
This is a story about drifting and docking, falling and catching. They are each other's only light in this city, the gentlest one among thousands of lights.
