When he was young, Lu Gou didn't think liking someone had to last a lifetime. If the feelings weren't mutual, it was better to cut his losses in time.
Years later, their reunion after a long separation is deliberately engineered by someone with an agenda. Only then does Lu Gou realize that if he doesn't take the initiative, they can only ever be childhood friends. If seven years still haven't made him forget Bai Taotao, then remembering her clearly and loving her wholeheartedly must be a matter of a lifetime.
Lu Gou used to like Bai Taotao, but he was the one thing he couldn't stand about her: her compassion. Later, he fell in love with her and came to cherish her kindness above all.
Because he, too, depends on her kindness to survive!
Strong people will only become stronger quietly
