A little bittersweet, a short story
At seventeen, Chen Enmian met Liang Jiamin and saw him kissing a man. He fell for him at first sight and accidentally discovered his own sexuality.
At twenty, he got together with him, thinking they'd be together for life. But there was someone else in his bed.
A slap landed on Liang Jiamin's cheek. Chen Enmian demanded a breakup, telling him, "Liang Jiamin, you're disgusting. Don't get in the way of my big break again."
At twenty-five, on their fifth anniversary, Liang Jiamin said they should get married. The ring would encircle more than just his ring finger. It would bind his heart and that other place, too.
-Your dreams or your life? Which will you choose?
-My dream is my life.
Later, Chen Enmian said,
"What do dreams matter? All I want is Brother Min."
Chen Enmian thought he was the pathetic one who couldn't let go, always the softer one in the relationship and the easiest to placate.
What he didn't know was that Liang Jiamin's secret love had taken root deep within him long before they ever met.
