In that year of school, Gu Chengyuan met Lin Jianshen for the first time on a sultry reporting day in September.
The young man was wearing a shirt that had been washed white, squatting alone downstairs in the dormitory to repair a broken suitcase. The broken hair on his forehead was wet with sweat. He was so quiet that he seemed to be separated from the lively crowd around him.
Gu Chengyuan only glanced at it and couldn't look away again.
Over the years, they lived together in a leaky rental house, squeezed through the last subway train in the early morning, stayed up for three consecutive days to start a business, and were so poor that they shared a bucket of instant noodles, but they still felt that the future was bright.
They went from having nothing to being famous.
They also changed from the lovers who love each other the most to the people who understand each other's wounds best.
Gu Chengyuan always believed that working hard to make money and climb up the ladder was the only way to get acquainted with Ai Lin.
It wasn't until later that he discovered——
It turned out that what Lin Jianshen really wanted was to say "Thank you for your hard work" when he returned home.
On the eve of the company's listing, the conflict between the two completely broke out.
Just after that, Lin Jianshen was diagnosed with a serious illness.
He didn't cry or tell anyone. He just quietly left the city where they had struggled together for many years on a rainy night.
When Gu Chengyuan finally saw the medical record, it was already too late.
Later, many people said that Gu Chengyuan was crazy.
He put down the company, canceled all meetings, and searched almost half of China, just to find the person who had been lost by his own hands.
But what he fears most is——
This time, Lin Jianshen might really not want him.
