[Poor Boy x Little Prince, Reconciliation After a Breakup, Healing and Sweet]

Yu Yue is a little prince.

When he was sixteen, he went with his classmates to a barbecue restaurant outside their school. There, he saw a boy working part-time, dressed in black, with slightly long hair tied back.

His features were so beautiful they seemed unreal.

Yu Yue quietly asked someone who he was. They told him the boy's name was Xu Yuanzhe.

After getting together with Xu Yuanzhe, Yu Yue spent his days living on a tight budget.

There were no high-society guests at his birthday celebrations. Their forty-square-meter apartment was awful, the bathroom light was never fixed, and the windows never closed properly.

Yu Yue thought he would eventually run away from Xu Yuanzhe.

But he didn't. He only fell more and more in love with him.

Until one day, Yu Yue began to think that Xu Yuanzhe had suddenly stopped loving him.

Xu Yuanzhe was a poor boy who worked part-time at a barbecue restaurant outside their school. When he saw Yu Yue come in to eat, it was love at first sight.

But Yu Yue was a little prince, adored by everyone.

Eighteen-year-old Xu Yuanzhe wasn't intimidated. He had a crush on Yu Yue for two years, and after Yu Yue came of age, he finally won the little prince's heart.

Xu Yuanzhe cherished Yu Yue and wanted to give him the princely life he'd had before.

But Xu Yuanzhe realized he had nothing.

He worked himself to the bone at several jobs, yet all he could do was take Yu Yue to live in a tiny apartment, buy him an ordinary cake for his birthday, and make do with a bathroom light that kept breaking.

Yu Yue never once complained.

But Xu Yuanzhe was the first to regret it.

At last, one day, Yu Yue asked to break up and disappeared from Xu Yuanzhe's life for good.

At that moment,

Xu Yuanzhe finally understood what it meant to truly regret something.

He has long, silver-gray curls and a face countless photographers call the face of a muse.

But what he likes best is curling up on Meng Xiangxi's lap on rainy days.

And Meng Xiangxi loves the soft patter of the rain as he runs his fingers through those silver-gray curls, leans down, takes his chin between his rough fingertips, and kisses him.

Then he drawls, "A muse? He's mine from the tips of his hair to his toes."
