[Age difference of twenty years|Female chasing man|Heart-breaking redemption|Reunion|HE|1V1]
On a rainy night, 22-year-old Lin Zhiyu opened a wooden door to take shelter from the rain.
Inside the door is a second-hand bookstore. Standing on the stairs is a man in a white shirt, slightly frosted temples, and a slim and tall profile. He looked down at her and handed her a handkerchief and a glass of warm water.
He was forty-two and she was twenty-two.
She thought it was just a chance encounter. But the light in the bookstore never went out in her heart.
She started chasing him. Use clumsy bento, use questions that pretend not to understand, use the tip of the pen to gently poke the fingers in his palm. She knocked down the wall he had built for many years bit by bit, but she didn't know what was hidden behind the wall - a son who died in front of him when he was three years old, an ex-wife who dragged him into the abyss, and a self-blame that was as deep as his bones.
He said: "Lin Zhiyu, I am twenty years older than you. I am not worthy."
She said: "Whether you are worthy or not is not up to you."
Later, a pregnancy test report was held in her hand. She hid it.
Later, conspiracy, miscarriage, and separation in a foreign country.
Later, he stayed at her mother's hospital bed for two years. He was chased away and scolded, but he never left.
Later, they meet again in the dusk.
He once said that cultivating books is like cultivating one's mind.
And she spent her whole life repairing his broken heart.
