“Five million. Take it and leave my son!”
“Huh?” Jiang Si was confused. Wait, who’s your son?
As a well-behaved, model young man, Jiang Si never imagined that those words would one day be directed at him!
At that moment, all he wanted to ask was, “What’s the PIN for this card?”
But! After more than twenty years of being single since birth, he really couldn’t bring himself to accept the money.

Jiang Si was sick. Very, very sick.
Perhaps he was selfish.
Selfish enough to confess to Ji Huai after learning that Ji Huai liked him, only to leave him behind helplessly.
See? Even the heavens couldn’t bear to watch.
They left Jiang Si’s soul by Ji Huai’s side, watching Ji Huai waste away after the death of his beloved.
There was no light in the room. Jiang Si had no idea how much time had passed.
He only knew that it was Ji Huai’s birthday.
After receiving the cake Jiang Si had ordered for him in advance, Ji Huai was finally willing to go outside.
Together with Jiang Si, though he didn’t know it, but...
“I love the flowers! Thank you, Ji Huai!”
“The scenery outside is so beautiful! Thank you, Ji Huai!”
“Wow, so this is what the sea looks like in person! Thank you, Ji Huai!”
“Ji Huai?”
“Ji Huai!”
“No, Ji Huai, don’t... I didn’t... How could this happen...? No... Clearly...”
“I regret it.”
“Is that you, Ji Huai?”
“In my next life, please let me meet the love of my life sooner.”
