The most luxurious thing for middle-aged people is not money, but someone finding out that you are holding on.
Forty-five-year-old Chen Kai works as the company's planner who stays up late into the night during the day, and at night he is a down-and-out father who buys heated lunches at a convenience store. KPI is chasing behind him, and his daughter's summer camp expenses have not been paid yet—he has not failed in front of everyone.
Until that day, he bumped into Lin Xiao on the steps of the back door of the convenience store.
During the day, she was wearing work clothes, smiling and handing him the strawberry milk that her daughter loved to drink; late at night, she was wearing a frayed coat, leaning on the back door steps, speaking as directly as an ice pick: "You're not tired, you're afraid that you won't be able to hold on."
He later learned that Lin Xiao worked two jobs, her mother was paralyzed in bed, and the mess left by her brother was all her fault. She hides all her fatigue late at night and leaves all her tenderness during the day.
The intersection between the two people started with ten minutes of silence at the back door, and gradually turned into someone waiting for you to get off work, and someone standing in front of you.
In the adult world, there is no salvation from the sky. Only when a person is about to lose his strength, he discovers that there is another person sitting next to him.
A story about healing from urban reality, written for everyone who grits his teeth and lives.
