Cotton Candy Boy

One late night, Chang Qin received a call from an unknown number.

No one spoke on the other end. He thought it was a prank, but the boy's soft voice somehow quieted Chang Qin's usually restless and irritable heart.

Later, in a corner of the same school, Chang Qin saw a boy gently holding a cat.

Beneath the sunshine, the quiet, frail figure of the boy was etched into Chang Qin's eyes.

That one glance took all the strength he had.

Later, even when threatened, even when afraid, Chang Qin never let go of the boy he had finally managed to hold on to.

He knew that once he closed his hand around him, he would be holding happiness.

Later, no one knew that on the morning of the college entrance exams, Chang Qin received a message as he gathered his courage to approach the boy. That message became his nightmare.

And so, his heart pounding with fear, Chang Qin chose to run toward the exam hall, toward the boy he loved.
