I would have liked to see more of his emotions in the text in those moments when he was looking for Yu Fan. It would have killed me to the end, but it would have made me love Chen Jingshen even more.

MC's mom had left years ago due to physical abuse by MC's dad. MC's dad then started abusing MC. At first, MC was too young and little to defeat his dad but later on he was able to protect himself.

ML had liked MC for many years before they met in high school. MC had protected ML from bullies when they were younger. ML didn't forget but MC forgot.

Later on ML pursues MC. Although MC rejected him, ML was persistent and stayed by his side. Helping MC in small and large ways. When they got together, their relationship was brief cause MC's dad found out and blackmailed ML's mom. MC found out about the blackmail and dropped out of school. He took his dad and moved far away to escape everything... it was also to escape debt creditors after his dad.

There was six years of separation before they met again. Both of them had finished college. MC was a photographer and ML a computer programmer. ML found out where MC was living and successfully pursued him. Later, MC moved to live with ML and they got married.
