Shen Wenzhu thought he had long since accepted the fact that he'd been expelled and broken up with. That was until Lin Han unexpectedly returned to his side and, for some reason, moved back into his home.
His ex-boyfriend, whom he hadn't seen in three years, hadn't changed much. He still wore designer brands, looked sweet and well-behaved, and did everything by the book. The only difference was that they were no longer connected in any way.
But... even if someone doesn't belong to you, surely it's all right to look at them from afar?
Shen Wenzhu did his best to keep his emotions in check. He got up early and stayed up late, making Lin Han the tomato and egg stir-fry he had loved three years ago.
But his ex-boyfriend wouldn't even eat it. He went straight into his room, locked the door, and didn't look at Shen Wenzhu once.
They reunited in the height of summer. Cicadas buzzed nonstop. Outside the window, the air was scorching; inside, it was cold.
Shen Wenzhu wanted to know how to get through this unbearable summer.
[One-on-one pairing, both are each other's first love, happy ending, told partly through flashbacks.]
