A long story of unrequited love

A slice-of-life story. If you like romances that simmer slowly, come on in~

Next up: Old Love Letters to My Beloved

Cool and reserved VS fiery hound

Xia Chiyu decides to leave Lin Mushen, the man who once made up his entire world.

They grew up and lived together. Only belatedly does Xia Chiyu realize that Lin Mushen may love him, but will never understand him or know what kind of life he truly wants.

Xia Chiyu moves to a quiet village, opens a secondhand bookstore, and continues writing.

He plans to spend the rest of his life living quietly on his own, but he never expects an unruly man to suddenly charge into his life.

Jiang Li is twenty-one, straight, and quite handsome. When he first learns that the owner of the bookstore is gay, he's shocked. He lets his guard up and instinctively keeps his distance.

Gradually, he discovers that Xia Chiyu is gentle and tactful, and has no designs on him. He slowly lets down his guard.

One winter afternoon, while they're chatting, Jiang Li suddenly finds himself dazzled by the man's smile.

How can anyone smile so beautifully...

Although Xia Chiyu is usually gentle, his eyes are always filled with loneliness. He doesn't smoke, but he always lights a cigarette and leaves it on the windowsill, silently watching it burn down.

The worst part is that this loneliness draws Jiang Li in even more.

Once Jiang Li realizes how he feels, he works up the courage to confess, stammering as he does. He never expects Xia Chiyu to turn him down without a second thought.

The reason: You're not my type.

Jiang Li is stunned. He goes home and sulks for a while, then returns to the bookstore and keeps hanging around him. Xia Chiyu is so worn down by his persistence that he tells him the truth, hoping he'll take the hint and back off.

Jiang Li does back off, but only for two days. Then he comes back in tears and says, "I don't mind that there's someone else in your heart. You can love him the most, but you have to love me second most."

Xia Chiyu: "..."

Jiang Li continues with his shocking declarations: "I'll even be your backup. I just don't want to be your friend."

Xia Chiyu sighs. "Aren't you straight?"

Jiang Li: "All I know is that you're the only one I love now."

Xia Chiyu: "Stop messing around."

Jiang Li: "Who's messing around? I don't mind having sex with you to prove it."

Just as Jiang Li's relentless pursuit leaves Xia Chiyu dizzy and overwhelmed, the bookstore door opens. The sound of a suitcase rolling across the floor masks the footsteps, and Lin Mushen walks in, his expression indifferent beneath the snow and wind...
