At the age of eighteen, Lin Zhi was the highly anticipated top scorer in the college entrance examination and had a bright future. However, there was a bolt from the blue. Her only relative, her brother Lin Feng, a special police officer, was seriously injured while rescuing his comrades during the mission, and his future was uncertain.
The moment her world collapsed, a mountain-like figure stood behind her brother. Lu Zheng, her brother's comrade and captain, said to her in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, you will be with me in the future."
This man, who was five years older than her, forcefully intervened in her life in a manner that could not be refused. He helped her deal with the trivial matters in the hospital, accompanied her through the suffering of waiting, and became her most solid support as she rushed to college.
At first, she regarded him as her brother's entrustment, respectful but distant. It wasn't until later that she discovered that this ruthless man on the battlefield would give her all his tenderness and patience. He would remember her casual mention of her hobbies, would stay with her silently when she stayed up late reading, and would force others to retreat with a look when she was being harassed.
Lu Zheng always thought that taking care of Lin Zhi was just his unshirkable responsibility. But I don't know when this responsibility changed. Watching her grow from a young girl to a dazzling woman, his heartbeat and restraint were repeatedly torn between responsibility and love.
"You are still young and you are only dependent on me." He warned himself this way and rejected her in this way.
Lin Zhi raised his head, his eyes as bright as stars: "Lu Zheng, I have always been number one since I was a child. I can clearly distinguish what dependence is and what love is."
