Sunny, lively bottom vs. cool-guy top
In the summer when Lin Xunian was three, Grandpa Zhou, who lived next door, brought home a little boy.
The boy was quiet and taciturn, with a cool temperament.
But Lin Xunian didn’t mind. He was always stuffing candy in his pockets and running over to play.
Then their parents noticed something.
The usually quiet and taciturn Zhou Cong followed Lin Xunian around all day, including but not limited to:
When Lin Xunian got into an argument with another child, Zhou Cong stood in front of him to protect him.
When Lin Xunian climbed over a wall, Zhou Cong acted as a human cushion underneath.
When Lin Xunian didn’t want to do his homework, Zhou Cong wrote two sets without a word.
The result was that the teacher caught them and called both their parents.
Afterward, Zhou Cong confessed, “It was my fault. Next time I’ll be more careful with my handwriting.”
As a child, Zhou Cong became distant and taciturn because his parents neglected him. His grandfather couldn’t stand to see it, so he took him back to his hometown to raise him properly.
On the day he moved back, Zhou Cong saw Lin Xunian peeking at him through a gap in the railing.
When Lin Xunian noticed him looking, his eyes lit up and he grinned at Zhou Cong.
Like a little sun, Zhou Cong thought.
The two grew up together and went to school together. They were never apart.
Lin Xunian thought he and Zhou Cong were the best buddies in the whole world.
Until one day, he saw how another pair of childhood friends acted and realized something was off.
Other childhood friends didn’t help each other put on their socks when one of them overslept.
Other childhood friends didn’t blow-dry each other’s hair after a shower.
Other childhood friends certainly didn’t warm the other’s cold hands against their stomach in winter.
Lin Xunian scratched his head and looked at Zhou Cong, who was helping him organize his notes. For the first time, he felt that words like “best buddies” and “childhood friends” weren’t big enough to describe the two of them.
