After a seven-year-long relationship, just as Shen Yu and Cheng Mofei were about to get married, Shen Yu was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

In the final moments, lying on the hospital bed, his once-proud and strong lover held his hand tightly, crying uncontrollably.

When Shen Yu opened his eyes again, he traveled back twelve years to the year he turned eighteen, just after finishing the college entrance exams.

Given a second chance at life, Shen Yu decided on two goals:

1. Take care of his health.

2. Live a good life with Cheng Mofei.

Shen Yu resolutely filled out his college application to Cheng Mofei’s former university, packed his belongings, and headed alone to the northern city where they had spent seven years together.

The first time they met was at the freshman reception. Cheng Mofei was being confessed to by a junior, but his face showed clear disdain as he said, “I’m straight, I’m not interested in men.”

Shen Yu: “?”

He distinctly remembered it was Cheng Mofei who had made the first move on him.

The second time they met was in their dorm room. Shen Yu had used a few connections to become Cheng Mofei’s roommate.

Cheng Mofei threw an arm around his shoulders in a familiar way, leaned into his neck to sniff for a long moment, and asked, “Brother, what did you put on? It smells good.”

Shen Yu replied with the name of a body wash brand.

It was Cheng Mofei’s favorite body wash—the same one that bore witness to countless passionate moments they shared in the bathroom.

The next day, an identical bottle of body wash appeared in their dorm bathroom.

The third time they met was in the campus clinic. An athletic student had been harassing the pretty freshman, Shen Yu.

Cheng Mofei strode up, shielding Shen Yu behind him, his gaze icy as he said, “My brother is a straight man. Take your filthy thoughts elsewhere.”

Shen Yu: “…” Actually, he wasn’t.

While Shen Yu was torn over how to bend the still-closeted Cheng Mofei, Cheng Mofei seemed to be unknowingly courting him every day.

“Shen Yu and I hit it right away. We’ll definitely be good brothers for life.”

“What’s wrong with good brothers sharing a bed?”

“Good brothers should shower together.”

“We straight guys don’t care about stuff like that, do we?”

Shen Yu: “…”

Later, Cheng Mofei began to notice a few peculiarities about his “good brother.”

He realized Shen Yu seemed to have someone special in his heart. His phone password was a date—one that turned out to be their future anniversary.

He even muttered someone’s nickname in his sleep. And all this time, the body wash he had been using was the exact scent loved by that mysterious someone.

And… that “someone” seemed to be a man!

Cheng Mofei was completely floored.

On the anniversary from his previous life, Shen Yu had dressed up carefully and bought Cheng Mofei’s favorite small cake, hoping to celebrate this special day with him in this lifetime.

But as soon as he opened the dorm door, he was pinned against the wall.

The familiar fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose as Cheng Mofei, gritting his teeth, said: “You’re not allowed to be with some wild man.”

Shen Yu: “?”
