Wen Xu once thought his life would follow a predictable course from beginning to end.
Until he met Chu Youjue.
The first time they met, Chu Youjue swallowed pills by the sea.
The second time, Chu Youjue mocked him.
The third time, Chu Youjue flirted with him, called him "big brother," and touched his hand.
Wen Xu said seriously, "I'm not that kind of person."
Chu Youjue smiled brightly. "Hmm? But I am."
Wen Xu: "..."

Later, Chu Youjue wrapped his arms around Wen Xu's neck and whispered in his ear.
"Big brother, are we having an affair?"
Wen Xu: "We're in a proper relationship."
Chu Youjue drew out the words. "Big brother..."
Wen Xu: "We can have an affair too."
·
Even though he really was a proper sort of person,
he could learn to have an affair. It was no big deal.
·
Chu Youjue: Break up with me and I'll chop you to pieces ^^
Wen Xu: Ah, so we're in a relationship where we can break up? (rehearsing his lines)
