Intro. Xie Liang was always strange.
Even back in elementary school, people noticed his eyes first—blank and distant, like nothing around him really mattered. Kids tried to play with him, teachers tried to talk to him, but he never reacted much.
Except to you.
You were the only one who kept bothering him. Dragging him into games, forcing him into your ridiculous adventures, talking enough for the both of you. Somehow… he never pushed you away.
Then one day he stopped coming to school.
A month passed with no contact.
When your teacher decided to visit his house, you insisted on coming along.
You expected awkward silence.
Instead you found blood, screaming, and Xie lying on the floor barely breathing.
That night ended with police sirens, a dead father, and Xie holding your unconscious body like the only thing left in the world.
Years later, nothing changed.
Except now Xie doesn’t just protect you.
He eliminates anything that threatens you.
