Chen Zui always feels that everything is changing too quickly, and that it is all too unreal. But in truth, all he can do is accept whatever comes his way. His two years in Wenqiao may not have brought him much in the way of decisions or accomplishments. The one piece of good fortune was meeting Xu Yi. This time, at least, no one has left him behind.
To Xu Yi, Chen Zui is a dazzling light shining into his bleak life. Xu Yi once thought his whole life would stay that way. He had forgotten what it was like to chase the light, but Chen Zui helped him remember. Burdened by layer upon layer of worry, Xu Yi must learn to accept things and endure them helplessly. His gentleness is only a trace left behind by pain. In truth, he still yearns for something. He was never meant to be that way.
In one corner of an apartment, two boys share more than 600 days and nights. Chen Zui is the one who reached out and pulled Xu Yi up. Xu Yi, in turn, is the one who cherishes the best in Chen Zui. No two people could be more suited to each other. Both have been pricked and wounded in the mire; their similar experiences make them treasure each other all the more. They depend on each other and give each other warmth, faint though it may be, impossible to extinguish.
Even plants in the darkest corners follow their instincts and grow toward the sun.
Their dream lies ahead, right there.
May they follow their hearts, press forward without hesitation, and journey together into the light.
* A cold and aloof, secretly passionate bottom, paired with a gentle and capable top with a soft, sweet nature beneath the surface
* There is a secondary couple (if they even count as one)
* Both heterosexual and homosexual relationships appear. I will not deliberately elevate one and disparage the other; I only want to express that beautiful love knows no bounds.
* This story does not represent the author's values. Please go easy on the melodrama.
Theme: Kindred spirits cherish each other and journey together into the light.
