Lu Yan is a polished, aloof elite lawyer who has returned from studying abroad. He is used to controlling everything with reason.
Cheng Tieshan is a construction worker who spends his days amid steel and concrete. Taciturn and awkward, he can't sweet-talk anyone, but he hides all his tenderness in his actions.
Two people who should never have crossed paths meet by chance.
Between them stand differences in education and class, the judgment of others, and countless misunderstandings, tests, and struggles.
He can't comfort anyone with words, but he steps up when he's needed.
He's used to keeping his feelings in check, but that man gradually throws him into disarray.
This is a love that grows out of the muck, full of bittersweet moments, arguments, insecurities, and two people choosing each other.
In public, Lu Yan is cold as ice. At home, all he wants is to lean against a shoulder that smells of cement dust.
More absurdly, the kind old lady Cheng Tieshan often visits to talk is actually Lu Yan's mother!
The old lady slaps her thigh and howls, "I told you to win a good man's heart, not to steal my son!"
The sequel is now available: Finding You in This Life, Without Asking When You'll Return
I let you suffer in our last life. This time, I'll be the one to pursue you!
It's a wonderful novel. The first dozens of chapters gave me heartache. Lawyer Lu kept working silently. Cheng Tieshan either couldn't stand it or said bad words to hurt people. It made my liver tremble after reading it. I only dared to read it for a short time every day and slowly digested it. It wasn't until the two of them overcame all difficulties and came together that I dared to read it in one go. The second half was written in a daily way, but it made me feel sour again [face cover] [face cover] It actually made me carry out the task of feeling sorry for Lawyer Lu until the end. Fortunately, Tieshan always doted on Lu Lu. The two walked together for forty years, and finally made me shed tears when they were gone. I was deeply moved by their true love. I got everything I wanted. I can immerse myself in the long-lasting love. I also hope that Lu Yan and Cheng Tieshan will always be side by side! [Learned][Learned][Learned][Learned][Learned]
Overall, it's not bad, but the relationship between the two is too twisted. I feel very aggrieved when I see it. In my opinion, if you can't figure it out, just let it go and find the one that suits you. It's not healthy to have a painful relationship with each other, and it's also my own view on relationships. I suggest the author give a warning in the introduction about the character traits of the two people, such as not opening their mouths, the slow development of the two people, etc.
To be honest, by Chapter 72, the end of the first volume, I already feel that it is perfect. If I keep reading, I'm going to be emo. The emotional description is delicate, real, and quite heavy. It's just that if a few repetitive descriptions don't appear so frequently, the look and feel will be better.
I rarely write book reviews, and I rarely read from the first chapter to the last chapter, because I feel that I can figure out the process through the ending. But I really like this book, and the tangled psychology and emotional choices of each character; it's Lu Yan's persistence and waiting for love, it's Cheng Tieshan's love but dare not touch it, it's Xiaoyu's choice to love Uncle Lu and his mother, it's Lu Yan's parents who are afraid of the two men being criticized and even more afraid of their own son getting hurt, it's Grandpa Tieshan's Xiao Lu who is very good... Only high-quality articles can arouse empathy among readers. I hope the author will get better and better, not just this book.
The emotional pull is very real and delicate, and it is close to the thinking of the people at the bottom. The light of humanity slowly blooms in the novel. The author's writing style is superb👍👍. A good novel can immerse readers' thinking more than a short play, and is three-dimensional and objective!
Very good, it reflects the difficulties in real life. How many hardships two people of the same sex must go through before they can be together. They must persevere. They do not just get together casually, but go through struggles and various factors.
In fact, until now Lu Yan has been a guiding lover to Tieshan and a guiding father to Xiao Yu. Lu Yan has been giving and treating Xiao Yu as his biological child. It would be better if Xiao Yu could change his name to Lu Dad. Keeping calling him Uncle Lu would give people a feeling of alienation.
How should I put it? My mood will fluctuate with the plot, and I will shed tears unconsciously. Although I know that this is just a novel and some plots are a bit exaggerated, I will still be moved and want to know the ending earlier. I have collected the second part...
The description of emotions is delicate, and the ideological conflicts that collide are numerous and intense. It is really depressing in my heart. Maybe it is like this in reality. I hope that people who love each other can find the right happiness, regardless of gender.
This kind of long-running novel is really rare. Especially this kind of story written from birth to death. When I first read it, I felt that there were constant conflicts between them, which made me a little irritated. But after I gradually read it, I felt good about it. When I finally saw the ending, I almost wanted to cry. I didn't know what to say. Five-star praise🥺
