The first time Shen Zhaoye saw Zhou Xiao, the boy was curled up in a corner of the orphanage, fiercely protecting half a bag of moldy bread. Shen Zhaoye was the lofty young master of the Shen family, while Zhou Xiao was the wildest stray cat on the street. They should never have crossed paths, but one rainy night, they met. Shen Zhaoye gave him a coat, a place to stay, and his heart. Zhou Xiao gave him a scar, a rusty nut ring, and these words: "Shen Zhaoye, if there's a next life, I want to be someone who has a home."
Later, Shen Zhaoye was forced abroad by his family, while Zhou Xiao was pinned down on a coffee table, his wrist nearly slashed open. When they met again, Zhou Xiao sneered, "Young Master Shen, do you still think I'm too filthy to touch?" Shen Zhaoye pulled his shirt open, revealing a crooked cigarette burn beneath his collarbone.
"Zhou Xiao, now we're both dirty."
"Come with me."
"Where?"
"Somewhere... where we can love each other openly."
