[Two-way rush + redemption + campus love + long separation reunion]
At the age of fifteen, Yannuo was diagnosed with epilepsy. She hid the medicine bottle in the deepest part of her schoolbag and told herself: Don't be noticed by anyone, don't like anyone, don't be a burden to anyone.
But Lin Chen didn't give her this chance.
He is the top physics genius in his grade. He is cold and taciturn, but he will hold her hand when she has an attack. He will finish reading a neuroscience textbook in order to understand her disease. When she says "you shouldn't like me", he will reply - "Then there are many things I shouldn't do."
What Yannuo didn't know was that Lin Chen was not a saint. He used all his rationality to restrain the instinct of a madman. The madman's instinct is "fear of losing her". Every time he says "I am", it is another way of saying "you are mine". His paranoia was hidden under that calm shell, and would only be revealed when she proposed "separation" - crazy, unreasonable, like a beast driven to a dead end.
They fell in love. But love did not defeat the disease. Inferiority, fear, mother's tears - she chose to let go.
Ten years later, Nancheng University Neuroscience Forum. Yannuo stood at the door and saw Lin Chen on the stage. The last page of his PPT was a photo of their high school gate, with a line underneath: "Yannuo, I'm here for you."
He said: "I have been waiting for ten years. I am not waiting for you to come back - I am walking the path for you that you could not take."
This time she finally knew - he was not gentle, he was paranoid. He is not waiting for her, he must have her.
