Because his younger brother was in poor health, Xu Linfeng was raised under the weight of his family's every expectation. He worked hard at school and at his job, and finally became a successful professional.
Nobody knew he was actually socially anxious. Every time he had to say hello to someone, he spent ages psyching himself up.
One day after work, a high school student ran into his car.
The kid was tall and handsome, but behaved terribly. He lay on the curb wailing and shouted that someone was bullying an orphan.
With no other choice, Xu Linfeng took the high schooler home after being shaken down.
The boy had a tragic background and was genuinely pitiful, but he was also a huge pain. He was picky about food, particular about the temperature of his water, and refused to go to sleep unless Xu Linfeng held him and said good night. If Xu Linfeng came home even a little late, the kid would start acting out.
Xu Linfeng was exhausted. As soon as the boy's family came looking for him, Xu Linfeng couldn't wait to send him back.
He thought it was all for the best. But three years later, someone knocked him out and abducted him on his way home from work.
When he came to, he found himself wearing shackles. Beside the bed, the boy from back then tilted his head and smiled at him.

Being locked up was great. Xu Linfeng no longer had to force himself to socialize. Every day, he woke up and watched TV or played video games. After a strenuous night, he could take a leisurely stroll around the estate the next day, and whatever he wanted to eat would be brought straight to him.
Xu Linfeng was living comfortably, but Yu Zishen was getting stranger and stranger. He would secretly cry alone at night, and during the day he was always timidly asking whether Xu Linfeng could stay with him forever.
Did he really need to ask? Xu Linfeng smiled. “What do you think?”
Yu Zishen's face crumpled, and that night he cried even harder in secret.
Then one day, Yu Zishen said he wanted to take him out for a walk, and brought him to the entrance of his company. Looking utterly defeated, he said, “Ge, you win. You can go.”
Xu Linfeng stared at the company entrance. “What?!”
He'd had enough. He grabbed Yu Zishen and kissed him hard. “I only didn't let you kiss me yesterday. Is that really such a big deal?”
