Possessive Dependence

Gentle, restrained gong (Yan Que) x idealistic shou (Zhou Heyuan)

Zhou Heyuan never imagined that simply being assigned to attend a lecture would lead to such an abrupt reunion with Yan Que.

It was just like three years ago, when Yan Que broke up with him without warning, then vanished from his world without warning.

The man onstage was mature and composed. Nothing about him hinted at the restrained, yearning madness with which he had kissed Zhou Heyuan's wrist and told him he loved him.

Zhou Heyuan had spent three years remembering him. When he couldn't see him, all he wanted was to ask him why.

But when he finally saw him, Zhou Heyuan suddenly regretted it.

He didn't want to ask why.

He only wanted to ask Yan Que: would he run away again this time?

Zhou Heyuan thought Yan Que had long since forgotten him.

He didn't know that from the very first moment Yan Que saw him, the uncontrollable urge to hide him away and lock him up had overwhelmed him.

But Zhou Heyuan was the wind.

How could he hold the wind in his hands?

Love is a knotted rope, with one end tied around Zhou Heyuan's hand and the other tightening around Yan Que's throat.

The knot had never been undone. They had always been each other's prisoners.

[Important notes]

1. 1v1, happy ending, rekindled romance, gong is not a scumbag

2. Mutual possessiveness, mutual dependence. Both gong and shou have flaws.

3. Older gong, six-year age gap, a little healing, no groveling arc

4. Zhou Heyuan is the shou! Zhou Heyuan is the shou! Zhou Heyuan is the shou!

Theme: May everyone love one another, and may the world be at peace.
