When she was five years old, Su Ling was taken into a strange home by her mother.
He huddled in the entrance hall and did not dare to move. His whole body was tense, like a snail ready to retract into its shell at any time. Eight-year-old He Heng knelt down and said hello from three steps away. He didn't touch him or rush him, he just put a bowl of porridge at the door and waited quietly.
It took Su Ling a long time to learn to believe that there were hands in this world that would not fall down.
It took He Heng longer to dare to admit that his feelings for this younger brother had already crossed the boundary of an elder brother.
From the age of five to twenty-seven, from hello to I love you, they were separated by a brother's distance, which took twenty-two years to complete.
This is a story about a domestically abused child who spends his whole life learning to trust, and a gentle person who spends his whole life proving that he is worthy of trust. It is also a story about five people who have met on the river embankment since they were six years old, and use friendship to support each other in a sky that will never collapse.
