Pseudo-incest / rekindled romance / from school to the city
Also known as: The new transfer student lives next door, and I have to call him big brother
(I've been craving this kind of story for ages, haha.)
A sharp-tongued, soft-hearted gong who values his pride above all else x a cold, caustic shou, as aloof as a flower on a high peak
Everyone in class knows Song Yu and the new transfer student don't get along. Then one day, they see the two of them walking home side by side after school.
Song Yu: He's my brother.
Jiang Bozhou: I live next door to him.
Song Yu: We're just acquaintances. Our relationship really is very ordinary...
Jiang Bozhou adjusts his glasses. Sure, sure. An ordinary relationship with someone who sneaks into my room at night.

At the start of the new year, the whole class agrees to go watch the fireworks.
As the fireworks rise overhead and burst open, Song Yu leans toward Jiang Bozhou and looks him in the eyes. "Big brother, want to go to the same university?"
Jiang Bozhou nods.
No one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow.
Jiang Bozhou quietly transfers schools and cuts off contact with everyone.
Seven years after they part, Song Yu encounters Jiang Bozhou in the hospital emergency room. Jiang Bozhou has returned to the country and been in a car accident. Looking at that familiar face, Song Yu can no longer be as affectionate with him as he was back then.
Memories flash through his mind like a rewinding tape.
He remembers the look in Jiang Bozhou's eyes beneath the fireworks that year, surging with unspoken emotion.
But now everything is unclear. He can't even find the courage to call him "big brother" again.
They are not blood-related! They are not blood-related! They are not blood-related! (Important enough to say three times.)
Theme: A young man who keeps moving forward fearlessly
