1.
Jiang Chen was single-minded.
He had a crush on Cen Musen since he was a teenager.
Cen Musen said they could hug and kiss, but a relationship was out of the question.
“Let’s give it a try.” When he said those words, Jiang Chen thought he must be dreaming.
They left their marks all over the two-hundred-square-meter apartment. Cen Musen’s hand glided over his cheek, a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“Compared to your prim and proper self, I actually like you better like this.”
“You just like it wild.”
Jiang Chen closed his eyes, feeling as if all those years of waiting had finally paid off.
He compromised, and he did so willingly.
But “giving it a try” was just that: a try.
Cen Musen never said he loved him.
He still stayed out every night.
He never acknowledged their relationship in public.
With his birthday approaching, Jiang Chen prepared a gift for him, one that used up nearly all his savings.
He’d spent over a decade going from secretly admiring him to being with him, and he didn’t regret it.
But the very night he gave Cen Musen the gift, he received a breakup text, one Cen Musen had drafted on the day they decided to “give it a try.”
Jiang Chen finally understood that he had been wrong.
Whether they were together or not made no difference. Cen Musen still treated love as a game, while Jiang Chen had mistaken it for forever.
2.
Cen Musen loved only himself.
No one else mattered.
He thought Jiang Chen was no different from everyone else.
Jiang Chen doted on him and treated him well. Cen Musen had long known how Jiang Chen felt, but never let on.
It didn’t cost him anything, so he might as well keep enjoying it.
Jiang Chen discovered his secret.
Cen Musen hadn’t tried to hide it, and knew Jiang Chen would be angry and hurt once the truth came out.
But he hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to really leave him.
Jiang Chen left, taking all his things with him. Before he went, a few punches left Cen Musen bleeding from the ear...
Cen Musen couldn’t understand.
As far as he was concerned, even if they couldn’t be lovers, they could go back to being friends.
“We were never friends. You just took advantage of the fact that I loved you and got me to sleep with you.”
When they met again, Jiang Chen told him with a blank expression, his voice as cold as a February frost.
“But I don’t want to play anymore.”

Healing / bittersweet / rekindled romance / older man, nine years apart
1.
Ye Sui first met Liang Jingshen in a hotel bed.
The man was drunk, and Ye Sui took care of him all night.
The next morning, the man tossed him some money, thinking he was a sex worker.
The money didn’t hurt when it hit him.
Ye Sui’s nose turned red. He picked the bills up one by one and stuffed them into his pocket.
He decided the man was no good.
But later
“Bad man” Liang Jingshen gave him a place to live and made time to help him plan for the future.
He read with him, watched the stars with him, and took him to enjoy good food and beautiful scenery, making up for the family affection missing from his optimistic, gentle life.
The man had striking features and was quite handsome. His temperament reminded Ye Sui of his older brother.
They lived under the same roof.
Little by little, Ye Sui began to see him as family.
He never expected that a few months later, he would hear: “Mr. Ye, let’s be together.”
2.
Not long after Ye Sui and Liang Jingshen got together, they were in a car accident.
The car was completely wrecked.
Ye Sui only suffered a few scratches, but Liang Jingshen fell into a deep coma.
He would most likely become a vegetable.
Looking at the person in the operating room, Ye Sui raised a hand and slapped himself.
“I really am a jinx.”
“Nothing will ever change that.”
Liang Jingshen’s mentor urged him to leave, and tears streamed down Ye Sui’s face too.
He bowed deeply to the mentor, then left before Liang Jingshen could open his eyes.
3.
Seven years later.
Ye Sui’s little noodle shop was about to close when a customer stayed until the early hours of the morning.
The staff tried several times to hurry him along, but to no avail. There was only a glass of water in front of him, and his eyes were bottomless pools of darkness.
He wore a faint smile only when he looked at the shop’s owner.
“Mr. Ye, are you still going to say we don’t know each other?”
Ever since the man walked in, Ye Sui had barely dared to breathe. His throat felt tight, as if he were about to cry.
His hand, hidden behind his back, shook violently.
Just as he began to stammer a protest
The man loomed over him, walking closer step by step before his dark eyes swept over Ye Sui’s waist.
“If you insist we have nothing to do with each other,”
“then tell me, why is there a bite mark on your waist that I left there?”
-
Initially strong and kind-hearted, later avoidant and quietly long-suffering beauty bottom X initially gentle, fatherly, later scheming, domineering, deeply devoted top
Bonus scene:
With heavy snow falling, the two of them spent the night huddled in a car.
Ye Sui’s face flushed bright red. He pushed open the car door and was about to get out, muttering, “It’s so cold outside.”
The tall man caught him from outside the car and pulled him close. “Be good and stay still. I’ll carry you.”
Reader’s guide:
1. One-on-one, both are each other’s first and only, and the top will recover in the end.
2. Rekindled romance, happy ending.

Alas, such a father is so ridiculous. How could he have such double standards?
Wouldn't a father who has always ignored his children suddenly want to exercise his authority?
