You Are My Brother

They first met in their innocent childhood. They climbed trees together to raid birds' nests and waded into the river to catch little fish and shrimp, though Bai Kuang was always standing off to the side, watching as his classmate Geng Zhanlu played happily by himself. Many years later, Geng finally realized that the seed of their story had been planted from the moment they met. All the complications they went through afterward merely pushed that original cause toward its inevitable result. "In this life, we are brothers, and together we will fulfill the bond left unfinished in another life." "What a beautiful thing to say," Geng Zhanlu remarked years later, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
