When he woke up, the hotel had become a Tibetan hostel with bunk beds, and across from him sat his boyfriend, Yu Suiwan, looking much younger. Shen Sheshan realized he'd gone back ten years, to their trip to Tibet. Everything about ten years ago was great, except that Yu Suiwan barely knew him. He'd become cold and quiet, often avoiding him and refusing to answer, as if he disliked him. One day, after being dodged one too many times, Shen Sheshan finally lost his patience and snatched the travel brochure Yu Suiwan was reading. “You can hate me all you want right now, but you're still going to marry me someday. You can't avoid it!” His hand slipped, and a stack of photos fell from the brochure, scattering across the grass. Every single photo on the ground featured the same person: Shen Sheshan. Shen Sheshan: ...? He looked up. The person across from him spoke slowly. “Why can't we get married now?” Shen Sheshan: ...?? * On a tour group heading to Tibet, Yu Suiwan ran into his former senior, Shen Sheshan. The senior suffered from altitude sickness and often forgot what he'd said the day before. One day, Shen Sheshan suddenly told him, “What I said last time was true. We're going to get married. You might not believe me, but...” Yu Suiwan cut him off. “I believe you.” Because he'd once made a wish upon the stars to marry Shen Sheshan someday and become family for life. * The green grass of Qiangtang stretches for miles over frozen earth, and here, time turns back. Here lies proof of every kind of love. * While dating: Yu Suiwan is deaf in his left ear. If he doesn't want to listen, he takes out his hearing aid. Exhausted Shen Sheshan: “You can still hear with your other ear!” Yu Suiwan pretends not to hear and just keeps kissing him...

While scrolling through posts, he somehow came across a picture of his childhood friend. He knew the old-fashioned Zhansheng would never download an app like this. Just as he was about to report the stolen picture, he accidentally hit “I like you.” Then they matched. Wang Muyun: …? * Zhansheng worked at a barbecue restaurant. One day, the neighboring school's sports team came in for dinner. Since it was his shift, Zhansheng messaged Wang Muyun, but got no reply. He went looking for him on the app, and sure enough, Wang Muyun had posted a photo of barbecue. Zhansheng commented: 【Wang Muyun, let's go to the furniture market tomorrow】 Wang Muyun: 【?】 Zhansheng: 【The bed slats collapsed last night. Let's go look at beds tomorrow.】 “Thud!” With a muffled bang, someone at the corner of the long table went red in the face and smacked their forehead against it. Wang Muyun: 【??!!!】 Theme: The search for love is also a road trip.
