Jiang An (tolerant and paranoid) x Lin Shen (cold and unfeeling)
"Business wolf dog but paranoid about love" x "Human-shaped ice blade but sensitive to escape"
"He asked me to paint, but he burned himself into the last paint."
On a rainy night ten years ago, Lin Shen drew the waist and abdomen of the river bank on page 137 of his sketchbook.
The water traces snaked through the young man's tight abdominal muscles, but ended at a hideous scar.
——Like wings broken by the gods.
Jiang An grabbed his trembling wrist and said, "If you draw 138 pictures, I will buy you for life."
But without the 138th picture, Lin Shen left Jiang'an and City A.
The unspoken feelings fade away.
At the bidding meeting ten years later, Jiang An tore up his design plan in public.
Late at night, she pinched his neck and pressed it against the floor-to-ceiling window, grinding her teeth together: "The painting you tore up back then... I glued it together piece by piece."
Lin Shen was forced to live in a glass swimming pool built on the river bank and paint thirty portraits.
Until the spilled turpentine soaked the bandage——
Under the scars, hidden emotions finally come to light
Jiang An retrieved the silver chain Lin Shen gave him ten years ago and engraved "My Savior" on it.
"What you burned back then were lies, but what I kept was the truth."
(The first twenty chapters are about their teenage years, but they were not together during their teenage years. They just had a crush on each other and their love grew wildly.)
