The oil stains and shadows of the auto repair shop were the background of Bai Yuxing's upbringing. His father was an alcoholic and his mother was addicted to mahjong. The indifference of his native family was like a hard shell, covering him through his teenage years when no one cared about him. At the age of 19, he cut off his past and entered the underworld. With his ruthlessness and resourcefulness, he climbed to the top of the gang, saving a person on the way and becoming his most trusted right-hand man.
At the age of 23, he met 20-year-old Qiao Yan. There is no vigorous intersection, but when the eyes meet, they can understand the loneliness hidden in each other's bones - they are the same kind, both have the hardness carved by their native environment, but they can see the glimmer of their own missing in each other. Love grows in silence and is never revealed. It is only maintained by mutual sympathy, like two trees standing side by side, with roots entangled in the dark but branches facing the sun.
In order to protect Qiao Yan Zhouquan, Bai Yuxing chose to marry Liu Wanqin, the daughter of the director. The marriage under this trade-off has become a gap that cannot be crossed between the two people. In the end, they can only say goodbye decently and go to the end of the world.
When we met again, it was already nine years later. Time has carved traces on the two of them, and those unspoken feelings are still hanging in time, unchanged.
