Two male protagonists
[Paranoid green tea puppy x fishing scheming young master]
"Xu Yi's world is a precise sketch, where every line should be where it should be. Until Chen Han showed up and knocked over the entire tray of paint."
Xu Yi is a perfect art student in the eyes of everyone. He comes from a privileged family and has superb painting skills. He is used to keeping a safe distance with a gentle and distant smile. In fact, he is a scheming Neptune with fishing roots. Chen Han, on the other hand, is an aloof student who transferred here with a unique look. Like a vigilant wild dog, he refuses to be approached by anyone.
When the class teacher forcibly arranged for them to become tablemates, Chen Han drew a dividing line on the table and warned coldly: "Don't cross the line." Xu Yi responded with a sketch of a fried puppy and wrote in the margin: "It takes patience to tame wild animals. I love to train misbehaved puppies."
A paint war, a rooftop confrontation in a heavy rain, a self-inflicted scar accidentally encountered. Xu Yi gradually discovered that beneath Chen Han's sharpness there was a vulnerability that no one knew existed, and Chen Han was the first to see through the loneliness beneath his perfect appearance.
"They are different from each other, but in each other's eyes, they find the missing part of their souls."
Xu Yi taught Chen Han to use paintbrushes to replace scars to express pain, while Chen Han tore apart Xu Yi's carefully maintained mask and forced him to face his true emotions. When the college entrance examination was over, Xu Yi received an admission notice from the London College of Art, while Chen Han chose to go north to the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
On the day of graduation, Chen Han disappeared into the crowd, leaving only half an eraser with his name engraved on it. Xu Yi drew the last sketch in the empty classroom - two puppies and a fox running back to back, one facing east and one facing west.
"Youth is an unfinished painting, and they agreed that one day in the future, they would personally add the last strokes to each other's paintings."
