[Age difference/reunion after long absence/sour pull/two-way redemption]
[Third person in the text]
When I stood on the rooftop and dialed Yao Zhan's phone number, my fingers were shaking so hard that I couldn't press the number correctly.
I hated him for fifteen years, but I still found him when I was desperate.
Yao Zhan was the secret I kept in my heart when I was a girl, and he was also the "enemy" who drove our family out of Liuyun Lane.
He once said that he owed me a favor and that I could come to him if anything happened.
I had no hope, I was just grasping at the last straw and betting on the one in 10,000 possibility.
The next day, Yao Zhan actually came, appearing in my rental house in a wheelchair.
Work-related injury claims, financial holes, all the messes that weighed me down, he sorted them out in half a day.
At the end, he stared at me: "Follow me back to Jiangcheng."
I stubbornly refused: "Mr. Yao, we are settled."
…
I thought we would be strangers from now on, but by chance, I returned to Jiangcheng and Yao Zhan's sphere of influence.
He took me under his wings and protected me calmly when I was helpless. Just like when I was a child, give me pampering and preference.
Dependence is like weeds, growing silently until the past events of more than ten years ago are revealed.
It turned out that from beginning to end, I was wrong.
I fled back to the countryside, thinking I could escape everything, but Yao Zhan still chased me.
He looked at me and his voice was hoarse: "You want to send me away with just 'Thank you for taking care of me'?"
I softened my tone and tried to say goodbye decently: "Brother Yao Zhan, I have grown up. I am no longer the timid little girl I used to be. Let the past go by."
He lowered his eyes, and there was no emotion or anger in his tone, "You have grown up and become successful, so you can talk to me like this?"
I was suffocated by his gaze, and the air around me became solid.
He chuckled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "It's a pity that I hold a grudge. Especially someone like you who said he would follow me for the rest of his life and then turned around and regretted it."
…
Later, all misunderstandings and concealments were revealed in the sun.
He stretched out his hand and hugged me tightly, with such force that it felt like he was going to rub me into my bones and blood, and his voice was so hoarse that he trembled:
"I knew you couldn't let me go."
"Nian Nian, don't abandon me. As long as you are willing, I will give you my protection for the rest of your life."
