When diagnosed with a terminal illness, Su Qingci believed it was retribution.
He was gloomy and obsessive, loving Pei Jingchen with a mad, frenzied passion. Through threats and enticements, he forced Pei Jingchen into a relationship.
Cruel and jealous, he forbade Pei Jingchen from having many friends, constantly checking up on him, throwing tantrums even if he came home a little late.
So he deserved to be despised by Pei Jingchen.
Staring at the man’s cold, hard face and icy gaze, Su Qingci resorted to playing the victim: “I’m sick.”
The man snorted derisively. “Make up a better excuse this time.”
Su Qingci gave a bitter laugh. Fine, it was all his fault.
He decided to break up with him, to set Pei Jingchen free.

Pei Jingchen knew Su Qingci well. To get his attention, Su Qingci would stop at nothing.
Ignoring him, Pei Jingchen focused solely on his career.
But when he returned triumphantly to China with a billion-dollar contract in hand, he learned Su Qingci had been admitted to the ICU…
After two weeks of emergency treatment, Su Qingci narrowly escaped death, his spirit broken and his body emaciated.
Pei Jingchen moved into his home.
He washed his clothes, cooked his meals, cleaned the house, fetched water, brought him clothes, and administered his medicine punctually.
Su Qingci refused to eat.
So Pei Jingchen resorted to unconventional methods to feed him.
By the end of each struggle, both were breathless and utterly exhausted.
Su Qingci closed his eyes: ” What’s the point of this?”
Pei Jingchen wiped the medicine from the corner of his mouth: “Didn’t you say you wanted to cling to me forever? The fortune-teller said I’ll live to ninety.”
When they were young, Pei Jingchen had spoken for ages beneath the slide before finally reaching out his hand, pulling the shy, fragile boy out.
Pei Jingchen understood that the moment the boy offered his hand, he had offered his entire self.
