Blurb:
After Liang Chunyu gets into a car accident, he shuts himself away at home. One day, he decides to start living again, leaves home, and rents a place in the countryside.
Starting over isn't easy. On a subconscious level, Liang Chunyu refuses to interact with people.
But then he happens to meet a landlord who keeps checking in on him to make sure nothing has happened. Liang Chunyu smiles at the flustered man and asks, "Aren't you going to leave me alone?"
There's a clause in the contract: The landlord has the right not to concern himself with anything involving the tenant.
Yan Xiao nods, then breaks that agreement again and again.
Liang Chunyu, who has never liked being disturbed, lets Yan Xiao into his space.
He thinks perhaps he's simply interested in how Yan Xiao blushes at the drop of a hat.
When they first met, Liang Chunyu almost fell into the pond, wheelchair and all. From then on, Yan Xiao was left with a deep impression of him: he was fragile.
Liang Chunyu likes having Yan Xiao beside him, not behind him, pushing his wheelchair.
But later, Liang Chunyu begins to resent his wheelchair.
When he's alone, the wheelchair is like another pair of legs, nimble and useful.
When Yan Xiao is around, the wheelchair is just a prop. All Liang Chunyu has to do is reach out, and someone is willing to take him anywhere.
Yan Xiao is always thanking Liang Chunyu for staying.
Liang Chunyu always smiles at him, never telling him that he was the one who made him stay.

He opens his eyes and asks in confusion, "Why are you in my bed?"
Xi Huanyang: "It's cold. I'm warming you up."
Ji Shanjian is touched. His roommate is such a good person.

Xi Huan takes the milk tea Ji Shanjian doesn't want, but gets mistaken for bullying him.
Classmate: Go tell the counselor! Xi Huanyang is bullying Ji Shanjian again!
The counselor hurries over, only to find the two of them acting all lovey-dovey.
So that day, everyone sees the counselor storming along with a dark expression, followed by the two people rumored to be at odds, and then a line of their classmates.
Ji Shanjian whispers, "Did you do something bad?"
Xi Huanyang shakes his head.
Ji Shanjian is near tears. "Then it must have been me."
Xi Huanyang takes his hand, silently comforting him.
The counselor in front suddenly turns around. "You two! Separate!"

Xie Xianglian smiles in a way that sends chills down Lin Ying's spine.
Lin Ying: "..."
