Nathan Brooks. A 23 year old college student finding his way between the walls of a rather small dry cleaners shop.

His high school best friend? What is going on? One thing leads to another and the lives of four very different men are suddenly becoming intertwined, chaotic and very messy. A mess much bigger than any coffee stain and one that Nathan might not be able to clean up. How ironic that he cleans other people's messes, but he can't seem to be able to do the same for himself. Part-time job turned into a hotspot of potential love and romance. How did that happen? *** - Regular/Weekly Tuesday Updates -

But for some reason, he can't stop looking at Shen Qingran. Why is he suddenly so cute? At first, Lu Zeyan only glances at him from afar. Then, he starts hovering around, offering small helps: "Shen Qingran, you look pale. Sit down, I'll get you water." Then, he starts blocking others from getting too close: "Don't push him! What if he falls?!" Then, he outright kidnaps Shen Qingran during PE: "You can't run in this state! Sit with me instead." Shen Qingran: "..." I can fight a grown man with one hand.
