When she was thirteen years old, she was taken into the Gu family and timidly called him "little uncle."
He is twenty-seven years old and is used to handling everything with reason and propriety. Being responsible, taking care of her, and being patient with her are just the obligations of the elders to the younger ones.
She stood behind him and he never looked back.
She thought he would never see her.
Until she grew up, "Little uncle, do you want me to be with someone else?"
At that moment, Gu Chenzhou realized that something had crossed the line. But he chose to push her away with his own hands.
"You are still too young, you will meet better people in the future."
Until they reunited at his sister's wedding. There were others standing beside her, smiling softly and distantly. Gu Chenzhou stood at the other end of the crowd, his hand holding the wine glass trembling slightly.
He finally understood - not all the waiting can be turned back, and not all the pushing away can be undone.
"Quietly."
He called her by her nickname, just like he did many years ago. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were red.
"I don't want to be your little uncle anymore."
She looked at him, her eyes slowly turning red.
"But I don't want to wait for you anymore."
——When she was waiting for him that year, he didn't come. Now that he was chasing him, she didn't know if she should look back.
One-sentence summary: That year you pushed me away by saying "for my own good", but now I have learned not to wait for you anymore. But why did you come after me?
