When they broke up.
Both of them were intensely proud, meeting every challenge head-on and refusing to back down.
Qi Han: "I've put up with you long enough."
Shen Zheyao: "Let's respect each other and let each other go."
After they got back together.
"Ah, don't bite..."
Qi Han furrowed his brow slightly. His words sounded like a protest, but he tilted his head back, exposing his vulnerable neck and letting the other man do as he pleased.
Shen Zheyao slowly stroked the pale neck beneath his hand, where his bite marks still lingered. He kissed them gently. "Before, you would've gotten angry and pushed me away."
Qi Han looped an arm around him, his eyes saying the same thing. "Mm. Now I'm letting you get away with it on purpose."
"Why?" Shen Zheyao's breathing grew heavier, but his eyes remained gentle and restrained as he looked down at him. "I won't stop at just a little."
Qi Han arched a brow and smiled.
"So you don't have to respect me now?"

Shen Zheyao once had a lover of six years: cool and distant, like a flower in a mirror or the moon reflected in water.
He reached out, hoping to pluck and hold it, but in the end, it was nothing more than a fleeting reflection.
"Who can claim Mount Fuji as their own with love alone?"
Even the calmest, most self-possessed person needs time to let wounds heal and learn to let go.
But that man returned to his life, holding a partnership proposal.
He stirred his heart into chaos, like a fire burning across a thousand acres.

# A little transmigrate into a book. I've never written this before, so it might not make sense.
# No cheating, no being a doormat, and neither partner gets replaced. At its heart, this is a sweet story of mutual devotion. Nothing else to it, just falling in love. Falling in love like crazy!
# Neither the top nor the bottom is perfect. Love takes work from both sides, so perfectionists, run!
# Fans who only support one side, run too! This story isn't for you! [Highlighted]
