It's a sweet article!
During the summer vacation of Shi Ling's second grade, an accident occurred. In the next twenty years, Shi Ling turned herself into a knife. Cold, sharp, and unkind. Her classmates said she was an iceberg, and her colleagues said she looked like a robot. Only she knew that it was not nature, but armor. She used indifference to isolate herself from all possible harm, and used alienation to protect the little girl who learned to save herself at the age of seven.
Until Li Jin showed up.
This man was gentle, patient, and smiled like the wind in March, but he turned a blind eye to every line of defense she had. He never asked about her past, nor did he try to "cure" her. He just stood quietly where she could see it, like a light that didn't require her to reach out.
Shi Ling thought this was another kind of salvation - until she discovered that Li Jin was the one who really needed to be held back.
His mother, a people's police officer, was assaulted while chasing a suspect. She raised him alone and taught him integrity, gentleness, and respect for women. But under Li Jin's gentle skin, there is an abyss even more broken than Shi Ling's.
"Do you think I'm saving you?" He smiled, with the rain in his eyes.
"Shi Ling, I'm learning from you."
——This is a story about how two people who have never been kindly treated by fate survive in their own way, and then clumsily walk toward each other.
It's not salvation, it's symbiosis.
