Summary
After Meilin suggests abandoning Wang Chao, and Wang Yue almost goes through with it, he decides to break up with her. About a week later, Ling Rui walks into the restaurant where Wang Yue works, standing beside himself after divorcing Lu Fangning.
They end up talking to each other, and Ling Rui immediately has a crush on Wang Yue but is totally oblivious about it. Wang Yue also immediately has a crush on Ling Rui but doesn't have enough self-worth to act on it. From then on, they continue to meet by chance at different places and get closer every time, entrusting their secrets and worries to each other while revealing their good and bad sides.
But Wang Yue isn't good at handling affection, and his low self-esteem is threatening to throw a wrench in the works, their growing —still unnamed— relationship in danger of breaking before it had even been formed.

Summary
Wang Yue and Ling Rui have only started dating recently and haven't gotten intimate yet. However, that quickly changes when Ling Rui comes to Wang Yue's place one night, his intentions unmistakable.
Immediately, Wang Yue is eager to please Ling Rui but soon disappointed in his own lack of skill. Things get worse when he keeps messing up all the time, failing to satisfy his partner, while that nagging voice inside his head keeps blaming him for it.
Eventually, Wang Yue is already bracing himself for the worse, expecting Ling Rui to leave him once and for all, but instead, he is only faced with emotions he neither expected nor knows how to deal with: kindness, compassion, and desire. It is incomprehensible to Wang Yue how Ling Rui could ever desire someone like him, but Ling Rui never ceases to explain it to him with words, actions, and an unforeseen stubbornness.
