How can two broken souls fall in love?
"You can't save everyone, but you can save me now."
"Okay, then you have to keep looking at me, just look at me."
Lu Chen used to be a clinician until a medical incident ruined his career and his right hand.
Nowadays, he is just a clerk working at a late-night convenience store, wearing black gloves to hide the tremor of being unable to hold a knife anymore.
He relied on alcohol and drugs to fall asleep every night, but filled the back of his account book with apology letters that he could not mail.
Jiang Lin is a writer famous for writing dark suspense novels. Readers called him cold-blooded and never had a happy ending in his novels.
No one knew that he was deaf in his right ear, and the shadow of his childhood was like a gangrene on his bones, which made him unable to stop writing tragedies.
He is irritable and withdrawn. His house is full of empty wine bottles and the door locks have been changed three times, but he secretly uses his mother's name to fund anti-domestic violence organizations.
One rainy night, a soaked Jiang Lin broke into Lu Chen's convenience store and said, "You look more dead than me."
Lu Chen just silently handed him a glass of hot milk.
"One cannot touch others, one refuses to be touched."
"One is atonement, the other is escaping."
Until Jiang Lin discovered that Mr. Lu Chen was organizing the shelves at three o'clock in the morning, until Lu Chen saw Jiang Lin's donation record.
Until one day, Jiang Lin smashed all the wine bottles and locked Lu Chen's account book filled with confessions into a drawer:
"You can't save everyone, but you can save me now."
"Love is the rusty moonlight and each other's painkiller."
The writing is good (๑>◡<๑)👍🏻
