Liu Fange never had to suffer much as a child. His mother, Deng Zhi, was nearly forty when she was pregnant with him, a high-risk pregnancy, and his birth put her through a great deal. His sister, Liu Ping, was thirteen years older. After graduating from teacher's college, she moved to a big city to teach, where she built a happy life and a loving family. The apple of the Liu family's eye, Liu Fange had never cared much for studying. Hoping to get him into a good university, his parents reluctantly sent him to an elite high school in the city, where he went to live with his sister and brother-in-law.
After leaving the military, Shao Fangxu worked in a government office. He was already thirty when he met and married Liu Ping through an introduction. The couple treated each other with respect and shared a harmonious relationship. They had no great passion, but their love was steady and enduring. Three years into their marriage, they planned to have a child, only for his in-laws to suddenly dump a barely-grown kid on them, leaving him with a real headache.
Liu Fange was naturally unruly, the sort of troubled teenager Shao Fangxu would normally have looked down on. But when the restlessness of adolescence collided with the authority and domineering nature buried in a middle-aged man's bones, the result was something neither of them could have anticipated. Liu Fange's adolescence was full of shame and self-loathing, along with a longing he could never quite dispel. Shao Fangxu discovered the frightening desire for control he had harbored within himself, and the pent-up torrent of emotion that had been waiting for years to erupt.
The tender feelings of youth are intoxicating.
