He Shaoyan loved Chu Hansheng with all his heart for thirteen years.
He made it through the three-year slump, the seven-year itch, and their tenth anniversary,
but in the end, he couldn't compete with Chu Hansheng's so-called casual fling, or the sweet talk of his young lover on the side.
A car accident took him back to the year they were twenty-five, the year of the seven-year itch.
That year, Chu Hansheng's company expanded, and his heart grew restless.
He Shaoyan no longer wanted to lie to himself. He waited for the right moment, took a photo of Chu Hansheng with his arm around a young lover whose features resembled his, about to swipe a card to enter a room, and broke up with him on the spot.

The year they graduated from high school, Chu Hansheng won He Shaoyan's heart,
and secretly resolved to love him more than he loved himself.
Seven years later, everything had changed.
Chu Hansheng stood frozen, watching He Shaoyan walk away without looking back.
He was the one who had changed. He let him go.
When Chu Hansheng returned home, the whole place was filled with He Shaoyan's presence.
Without him, everything that followed went to pieces.
Only after losing him did Chu Hansheng understand: He Shaoyan had spent seven years turning himself into a glass of plain water, silent and unassuming.
And plain water was what he, Chu Hansheng, needed to live.
[Bonus scene]:
On He Shaoyan's way to work, Chu Hansheng stepped up to him, pulled out some documents, and began reading as usual: "XXX, male, PhD graduate, has broken up five times, with a slight tendency toward violence."
His closing statement: "Don't date him. I was wrong. Let's get back together."
He Shaoyan: "No. You're tainted."

Theme: Some people's love is like plain water. It may be overlooked at times, but without it, you might not survive.
