A secret crush could have been nothing more than one person's nervous turmoil. But Wei Situ somehow managed to leave his crush flustered and frantic.
After summer camp, Wei Situ, a childhood friend who had once almost made it into a gifted students' program at a top university, suddenly saw his grades plummet and became Chi Yan's desk mate.
Chi Yan suspected someone had fed him poison and messed up his brain.
He was worried sick...
Chi Yan: "Don't feel like talking? No problem. I'll talk for both of us. If I keep talking, you'll come around."
Chi Yan: "You like boys? I'll be your strongest ally! If anyone says you're wrong, I'll help shut them up."
Chi Yan: "Don't want to study abroad? Then get your grades back to where they used to be, and you'll be guaranteed a spot through a competition. You can stay right here!"
As a result, he got even more worried. His childhood friend seemed to have gotten the wrong idea about him.
Wei Situ: "Do you like me?"
Chi Yan retreated again and again. "I'm straight!"
Later, Chi Yan discovered that Wei Situ had actually been poisoned by his own love for him.
Wei Situ: "A lot of people love him, and a lot of people think they love him, but none of them know how to take care of him. I want to take care of him."

Content warning:
The bottom has an anxious attachment style. He's bright and cheerful on the outside, but emo on the inside.
