[Gentle and quiet female protagonist vs. Young father-like male protagonist]
{Self-made rich generation + slight abuse + sourness + broken original family + micro group portrait}
Xu Nian, 16 years old, has low self-esteem, is quiet and introverted, and is the top grader who is always immersed in memorizing books.
It wasn't until my sophomore year in high school that I met him at a coffee shop near the school.
Xu Nian did a quick calculation in his mind.
Sophomore year, that is around twenty years old. She is a sophomore in high school and seventeen years old. Three years apart.
She had thought there was an invisible, impassable river between them.
But three years old - three years old doesn't seem that far away. It seems that if you can reach out, it's not completely out of reach.
"Where do you live?" She asked very naturally, like a casual question when chatting.
Zhou Ji was silent for a long time.
Xu Nian noticed that his expression changed. She began to panic. She didn't know if she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.
Then Zhou Ji spoke:
"I don't have a home."
With just four words, Xu Nian's heart felt like someone was tugging at him.
Xu Nian looked at him - his voice was very soft, like a stream of water. But even though his words were so heavy, he could say them so calmly.
Zhou Ji, it must have been difficult for you these past ten years.
