Five years ago, Zhong Yi, a poor talented man, met Zhou Lin in the clouds while delivering water backstage.
A piece of piano music, a sentence "Your poems are very good", and a "companionship" contract starting with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan.
He sold his dignity and bought comfort.
When we meet again five years later, he is the reporter who resigned in embarrassment, and he is the CEO who has returned from his sins.
He gave him a job, a house, and meticulous "care", and also weaved a surveillance network for him with nowhere to escape.
He said this is love, he said this is a cage.
From Beijing to Haicheng, from the hospital to the delivery room, a ten-year entanglement——
One tried his best to love in the wrong way, while the other tried his best to break away but fell.
When a child is born, when the truth tears apart, when "I love you" becomes the sharpest knife.
What's left between them?
It's the lingering warmth under the night lights that are about to go out, it's the hatred mixed with blood and tears at the end of the contract,
Or the trembling hands still reaching out to each other on the edge of the abyss?
"Zhou Lin, please let me go."
"Zhong Yi, if I let the whole world go, I can't let you go."
——This city stays up all night, and for some people, it never gets bright again.
