Vegaverse
Ziyu has spent most of his life learning how to stay untouched.
Not just physically-but emotionally, mentally, completely.
Routine keeps him steady. Distance keeps him safe. People are easier to handle when they stay far enough away.
Street racing is everything he hates.
The noise. The risk. The recklessness. The kind of people who live like nothing matters.
Xuning is all of it.
At twenty-five, he's already walked away from everything that was supposed to matter-family, expectations, a future that made sense. Now, he lives in a world of speed and control, where one wrong move could cost everything.
Ziyu should avoid him.
He tries to.
But Xuning doesn't push.
Doesn't pry.
Doesn't cross lines he's never been told about.
And somehow, that's what makes him dangerous.
Because for the first time, Ziyu doesn't feel the need to step back.
Between quiet routines and midnight streets, between fear and something he doesn't have a name for yet-
Ziyu finds himself standing too close to someone who was never supposed to feel safe.
He doesn't trust easily.
But he trusts Xuning.
And that might be the worst mistake he could make.
