Jiang Zhou’s love was to treat Shen Zhiyu as a deity, and he was the most devout believer. Even letting his gaze linger for an extra second felt like sacrilege. Every time his heart stirred uncontrollably, he would use starvation to wear down his obsession and self-harm to atone for the “sin of transgression.”
When Shen Zhiyu returned to China to develop his career, Jiang Zhou approached him cautiously, using the pretense of repaying a debt of gratitude. He was both fanatical enough to want to touch him and too humble to even breathe near him, letting thirteen years of love fester into a cage of obsession.
Shen Zhiyu saw through his disguise instantly. He developed a strong interest in this man who always watched him from the shadows—a man both fervent and distant—but he didn’t want his devout admiration. He taught him to look up and meet his eyes, taught him to abandon self-punishment, and taught him how to love him equally.
When Jiang Zhou attempted self-harm yet again, Shen Zhiyu forcefully kissed him, his breath hot and searing: “Jiang Zhou, I told you, if I catch you next time, there will be a punishment.”
