I helped Li Qiu start his own business from scratch, being his stepping stone for many years and living my life as the shadow behind him.
From comrades who share the same suffering, to his subordinates who come and go as soon as he calls, I guard the empty house, waiting for him to come home, waiting for his pity, waiting for him to look back at me one day.
It wasn't until the moment when the feeling of suffocation came over me that day that I completely woke up and made up my mind to leave him.
I thought I would spend the rest of my life scribbling in plain sight,
Unexpectedly, through an unexpected encounter, he forced his way into my life.
He is the proud son of heaven, and I am a downtrodden old man whose edges have been smoothed away by life.
A relationship with an absurd disparity, a belated heartbeat and redemption.
I no longer dare to love, believe, or place hope on anyone.
But he just said——
Brother, you suffered too much in the first half of your life. I will love you in the second half of your life.
