He thought he hated Bai Cheng.
Huai Jiu lived in the dark, listening to Bo Cheng's music upstairs and watching his mother pour all her tenderness into that person. He vowed to take revenge, to pull that superior man off the altar, and to make him kneel at his feet and shed tears. So he acted, every step he got close to was a calculation, and every smile was a disguise.
But he didn't expect that all the acting would become real at some point. When Bai Cheng was bandaging him in the basement, the tips of his ears were reddish. He lowered his index finger to hook his finger in the moonlight, and when he said "take me away", he put his forehead against his and said "ok". Only then did Huai Jiu realize that the hatred was false and only love was true.
But the day the DNA report was released, everything fell apart. He is not a criminal, he is an illegitimate son who has been hidden by his father for more than ten years. His mother had hated her all her life, and he had also hated her all his life. So he made the cruelest decision - pushing Bai Cheng away, using the ugliest words and the coldest smile.
Bai Cheng left. Huai Jiu squatted in the basement holding the crumpled cashmere sweater, and then he realized that the one that was broken was himself.
He gave chase. Run all over the city, from winter to spring. When he found Bai Cheng, he gasped and said:
"Chasing you."
When the camellias bloomed, he came back.
Intention: Never give up
