On Lin Ye’s first day at his new company, a four-and-a-half-year-old blue dinosaur clings to his leg in the elevator and calls him “Daddy.”
Even more shocking, the icy woman who picks up the little dinosaur is his boss.
The whole company is saying he’s the president’s ex-husband. He protests that he’s completely innocent. After all, he’s been single for 26 years and has never even had a girlfriend.
But the child insists on having only him. When drawing with crayons, the little one always draws three people. After kindergarten, the child secretly calls him to come pick them up. Even blindfolded, the child can pick him out from a line of parents just by touching their hands.
Lin Ye starts to feel that something is off.
Then he remembers the bottle of tequila from five years ago, and the empty hotel room he woke up in the next morning.
It turns out some mistakes don’t disappear. They’re just five years late.
And the person who raised the child alone didn’t do it because she didn’t need him. She did it because she couldn’t find him.
He was five years late. But she waited five years.
