XL-XIE LIAN
HC- HUA CHENG

Xie Lian is a singer who is temporarily blind and busking in the park every day to earn some money for his treatment. One day a painter named Hua Cheng passes by to get some idea for his new project and while walking his eyes caught the beautiful and slender figure of Xie Lian who is performing.

    HC thought to himself “ Is this what you called a beautiful gift from heaven?” so he came closer to XL to get a nice view and he stares so intently at XL.But XL hasn’t notice anything yet because he is so focused in singing.

   When XL is almost finished with his busking, HC thought of an idea to make XL his model for his painting. So when the other man is done singing and packing his things , HC decide to approach him so he waved and called him but he got confused why XL didn’t glanced at him. He suddenly realized when XL pulled out his stick and immediately left. So HC didn’t have a chance to talk to him and decided to give it a try again tomorrow.

    Tomorrow came but HC didn’t see XL. Three days of coming back and forth to the park,and  he finally saw XL.He didn’t want to miss the chance of talking to XL so he charged and grabbed XL’s arm, forgetting that XL is blind.
    Startled and oblivious, XL swings his stick to HC. Luckily, HC has a good reflex so he easily blocked the stick.

   HC realized his fault and apologies to XL for acting that way. So when he calmed down XL and asked HC why did he do that and HC explained that he’s asking for permission if he could make XL his model for his project because the structure of the body of XL caught his eyes but XL is being hesitant and HC figured it out that XL will refuse so he suddenly offered a big amount of money just to be his model, Since XL heard his offer so he didn’t think twice to say yes to that offer because he really need a lot of money for his treatment besides making money from busking is really tiring and he can only earn a small amount of money.

   After the agreement of both parties HC told XL they will meet here in the park so it won’t be tiring for Xie lian. When the day comes and XL is already waiting for HC. After 30 mins of waiting HC has arrived with a coffee in both of his hands and HC apologized to XL told he was late because he was stuck in the traffic and bought some coffee as an apology gift, XL accepted his reason and also the gift and told HC that they should go already because XL is feeling tired.

   While they are on their way to HC, XL drinks the coffee and he got confused how did HC knows his favorite coffee and he thought of asking of HC but he backs out because he is thinking that HC will think that he is a stalker of him so he kept quiet.
    As they arrived HC help XL to come down from the car and assists him to the studio. HC notice XL is being uneasy so He did everything to make sure that XL will feel at home. And while they were talking XL become comfortable so HC felt relieved andasks XL if they could start now and he said of course, so HC assists XL to a room where there are only two chairs and drawing materials.

     While XL sitting silently in the middle, HC stares him so intently and examines him also HC thought to himself “Thank goodness I’m the first one to find this magnificent body”. HC didn’t realize that he keep praising him in his mind. Night came and HC only did couple sketch of XL because he thought that maybe it’s too much for him sitting all day alone and because it’s already late HC offered XL to stay over but XL thought that it kinda embarrassing but since its very late and dangerous for him so he said yes to Hc' offer and of course HC felt happy for his response and so on they went to be bed after eating their dinner.
   
   And in the whole 2 most this became they became close and also they developed feelings to each other but cannot accept to themselves how can't they developed those feelings to each other because they always eat their meal together, helping  XL for his treatment, and also XL sometimes spend the night in HC studio.

   And HC finished his painting but he didn’t tell to XL because he doesn’t want XL to leave him.But one day XL received a call from the hospital that his surgery will be scheduled next week. After XL received this amazing he loudly called HC because of the excitement, HC was also glad and excited for XL.

   A week past the day of the surgery came XL and HC are on their to the hospital. when they arrived at the hospital and getting for the operation suddenly HC received a call from his parents assistant that his parents died while driving back to their house.HC was devastated and he knows the XL will need him after the operation but his parents died so he needs to leave immediately.  So he decided to wait XL to enter the OR and leave but he is not planning to tell anything to XL because it may cause some stress for him.

And when the time comes for XL enter the OR XL entered  smiling at HC beside him and waved goodbye. After the operation XL wakes up and keeps finding HC but the nurse said that HC leaved already, XL felt betrayed by HC. He didn’t have the chance to tell his confession and see him.
