She moved into his house when she was eight years old and stayed there for ten years.
He is eighteen years older than her, has shielded her from all storms, and has never crossed the line. When she calls him uncle, he becomes a well-behaved patron.
On the night of her eighteenth birthday, she told him in front of a table full of people: I like you, not the way a child likes an elder.
He was silent all night, leaving only one sentence the next day: You should live your own life.
She turned around and walked away, spending several years living her life to be someone who could stand alongside him.
When they met again, the whole city was spreading the news: Mr. Chen, who had never been a womanizer, had fallen in love with her for the first time in his life, and was completely fooled.
Later, he waited at the door of her painting exhibition all night, just for one sentence——
"I've been waiting for so many years, not for you to call me uncle, but for you to stand in front of me."
She stood on tiptoe: "Then I'm here now, will you accept it?"
"Take it. In this life, I will only take you."
