Born Not to Be a Lover

In the beginning, an avoidant attachment type who is almost dead inside, and later a singer who goes on a suicidal rampage to win back his love x a chef who initially breaks down doors with violence but later shuts himself away to escape. The story starts with a reunion, featuring an older partner, mutual pursuit, testing and pulling away. The early chapters have a fresh, slow-paced literary style, while the later chapters turn into a dramatic, satisfying read. Fu Yanlin’s career suffered a nearly catastrophic blow, plunging him into the lowest point of his life. He chose to escape his current situation with a plane ticket. In Lijiang, he met Mo Xiaobei, a boy who was like a big golden retriever. “I’ve told you, my name is Mo Xiaobei, not Mo Xiaobei. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can. Want me to cook you a bowl of noodles?” Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaobei was also someone who could talk others into things but would stick his head in the sand when faced with his own problems, a fellow unlucky soul whose career had taken a hit. The two unlucky souls found solace in each other and were mutually attracted. Under the catalyst of the suspension bridge effect, they held hands, embraced, kissed, but ultimately went their separate ways due to various incompatibilities. Three years later, Mo Xiaobei returned to Hong Kong covered in honors, with a man by his side who looked a bit like Fu Yanlin, but younger. The most critical thing was that he had become a junior at the same company as Fu Yanlin. Under the weight of a crisis, Fu Yanlin took the initiative for the first time to express his true feelings: “Xiaobei, why don’t we start over?” But Mo Xiaobei was unwilling: “Sorry, Mr. Fu, I’ve already gone to Antarctica with someone else to see the lighthouse.
