In his sophomore year of high school, Xu Zhiyuan's biggest wish was to improve his math scores so that the light in his father's repair shop would go out earlier.
By chance, he discovered that he could clearly see details that he usually ignored in a very short period of time. But seeing a question clearly doesn't mean you can solve it; understanding other people's difficulties doesn't mean you have the ability to solve it.
He started learning from the smallest things.
Some people pushed exercises filled with comments in front of him, some left him a hot meal at the breakfast shop in the early morning, and some later accompanied him into the larger world and seriously asked him what kind of person he wanted to be.
From high school to college, from a boy in the back row who was always ignored, to a person who can finally stand up at a critical moment, Xu Zhiyuan slowly understands: growing up is one day, it is his turn to block the wind and rain for the people he cares about.
Those words that are too late to be spoken will still wait for answers in the long companionship.
