Why Are You Crawling Around in the Shadows Again?

An insecure, brooding, clingy top-tier star seme X an avoidantly attached, emotionally detached doctor uke

Xu Fangsong, deputy chief physician in the cardiology department of a top-grade hospital, has been deeply troubled lately.

The reason is that he and his ex from seven years ago, Yan Duxue, now a red-hot top-tier star in the entertainment industry, have become friends with benefits.

It all started three days ago. Yan Duxue was suffering from severe depression, and his manager had no luck finding a doctor, so he had no choice but to make an appointment with Xu Fangsong. "Dr. Xu, he's sick. Really sick!"

Xu Fangsong glanced at Yan Duxue sitting before him. "Symptoms?"

Yan Duxue: "Sex addiction."

Xu Fangsong remained expressionless. "...Go out, turn left, and head down three floors. Clinical psychology. This is cardiology."

Yan Duxue got up and left.

Xu Fangsong had always known Yan Duxue had issues, but he thought that after seven years apart, Yan Duxue would have found someone more suitable.

That was until he found Yan Duxue's most recent medical record in the hospital System: The patient has recently exhibited severe suicidal tendencies. Hospital observation recommended.

Xu Fangsong's fingers trembled, and the message he had only half typed on his phone was sent: Xiaoxue, come over...

Yan Duxue replied instantly: I'll be at your place in five minutes.

The next day, Dr. Xu's back hurt as if it had been slashed with a knife. "...I only wanted to ask how many times you've been to the hospital and which doctors you saw yesterday."

Yan Duxue's eyes reddened, and he trembled slightly in Xu Fangsong's arms. "Brother Song, I don't want to hear that."

Xu Fangsong hissed. "Why are you crying? Were you the one in pain yesterday?"

Xu Fangsong had a severe avoidant attachment style. Then he ran into a clingy little puppy, stuck to him like a plaster and impossible to shake off, always shedding a few little pearls at the drop of a hat.

But with a face like Yan Duxue's, who could help but soften?

Yan Duxue: "There's no such thing as someone coming along later and winning. I got here by fucking crying and fighting for you."
