“Poor Boy X Little Prince: Reunion and Reconciliation Healing Sweet Story”

Yu Yue is a little prince. At the age of sixteen, he went to a barbecue shop outside of school with his classmates. There, he saw a boy working, dressed in black, with slightly long hair tied behind his head. His features were unbelievably attractive.

Yu Yue quietly asked someone who he was, and they told him that the person’s name was Xu Yuanzhe. After getting to know Xu Yuanzhe, Yu Yue has been enduring a tough life. His birthdays weren’t celebrated by celebrities, and his tiny 40-square-meter house was in a terrible state. The bathroom light was never fixed, and the windows never closed properly. Yu Yue thought he would eventually run away from Xu Yuanzhe. But he didn’t. He only grew to love Xu Yuanzhe more.

Until one day, Yu Yue felt like Xu Yuanzhe suddenly didn’t love him anymore.

Xu Yuanzhe was a poor boy who worked part-time at the barbecue shop outside of school. When he saw Yu Yue coming to eat at the shop, he fell in love at first sight. But Yu Yue was the star among stars. At the age of eighteen, Xu Yuanzhe, without fear, secretly loved Yu Yue for two years. After Yu Yue came of age, he finally won over the little prince.

Xu Yuanzhe held Yu Yue in the palm of his hand and wanted to give him the life of a prince that he had once lived. But Xu Yuanzhe realized that he had nothing. He worked tirelessly at multiple jobs but could only afford a small house for Yu Yue. He could only buy a regular cake for Yu Yue on his birthday and deal with the constantly malfunctioning bathroom light.

Even though Yu Yue never complained, Xu Yuanzhe regretted his decisions one after another. Finally, one day, Yu Yue asked for a breakup and completely disappeared from Xu Yuanzhe’s life.

In that moment, Xu Yuanzhe finally understood what true regret meant.
