He saw my contempt, but silently continued to clean. That was the first time I saw He Nuo, a boy who would soon become the most infuriating, heartbreaking, and utterly indispensable person in my life. I am Shi Yan, and I thought I knew what high school would be: a predictable climb to graduation. Then He Nuo entered my orbit, a quiet target for bullies, yet possessed of a strange, unsettling resilience. In our second year, he knelt before me, enduring the jeers of our classmates, begging me to hit him, to forgive him. And I did. I hit him, not out of cruelty, but a desperate, confused attempt to understand the broken boy who offered himself as a punching bag. From that day, our lives became inextricably linked by a series of quiet, painful appointments. The grotesque wound in gym class, his inexplicable layers of clothing, the bruised and battered body that shook in my arms. He Nuo, always trembling, always grateful, his lips always forming the same words: "You are the one who treats me the best!" But gratitude is a fragile thing, and betrayal, even perceived, can shatter everything. In our third year, a lie tore us apart. I raged, convinced of his deception, only to later realize the cruel irony: how could he have betrayed me when he was just trying to be my friend? Even as my rejection led to another violent assault, his voice, thick with pain, still whispered, “I was the one who lied to you, it’s my fault for making you angry.” Shi Yan couldn’t help but lift his head up and control the heat in his eyes, while his ears were still ringing from He Nuo’s words that were filled with gratitude, “You are the one who treats me the best!” This isn't a story about first loves and innocent crushes. It’s about the brutal, beautiful, and utterly confusing journey of two boys bound by unspoken promises, hidden wounds, and the desperate hope that love can heal what society breaks. Dive into "The Promise Sealed with Our Lips" and discover the truth behind He Nuo's gratitude, and the cost of Shi Yan's compassion.
