On New Year's Day that year, I was stopped on the mountain road by an old man who looked like a dead tree. He said that my heart is like a wild horse in the wilderness, but I owe a debt to one person for three lifetimes. If I don't repay it in this life, neither of us will end up well. I just dismissed it as crazy and put it behind me.
My name is Yan Le, a person who has no shortcomings in the eyes of the world, but in my heart there is a wasteland with no grass growing. Until I met Lin Jinbai - the lonely boat stranded on the shore of despair.
The moment their eyes met, an unprecedented roar came from the core of the wasteland.
I could see through all the sensitivity and tenderness beneath his hard shell at a glance. He can accurately understand the inherent desolation and loneliness behind my perfect appearance. We are attracted to each other and understand each other, but no one dares to admit it.
I thought this was just an approach that started with "paying off debt". He thought it was just an accident that finally made his heart beat. Until that night when the moon was invisible, he was swallowed up by years of pain and self-loathing, and was on the verge of collapse. I didn't leave, but hugged his trembling body tightly as he tried to push me away.
At that moment, the cold "fate" shattered in my heart. It turns out that I traveled across mountains and ridges not to repay, but to pray for a complete redemption in my barren life from his lonely boat.
We let go briefly, thinking that staying away would be mercy. But every moment after separation, the wilderness is still barren and the lonely boat is still drifting.
Until then, we didn't believe that we were alone for half our lives, staggering forward, just to meet each other, and then to be on the other side of each other and complete each other.
