Everyone said that Han Mu picked up Bai Tang by accident - a drunken winter night, a chance encounter in an alley, and a moment of soft-heartedness.
At first, Han Mu only thought that this was trouble caused by his childhood sweetheart Xiao Ran. He gave shelter casually and cared for it carelessly, like a homeless stray cat. Everything was just to fulfill the promise of "promise to Xiao Ran".
Until Han Mu saw his former self in those eyes - the young man who was abandoned by the world in an empty villa after his mother passed away, and could only rely on games and indifference to self-anesthetize.
He began to "poorly" imitate his mother's protective gesture in his memory, trying to make up for the helpless and collapsed self in Bai Tang:
He called him "Tangtang";
He clothed him, gave him shelter, gave him a shelter he had never had before;
He placed all the tenderness in him that he had no time to become - the kindness that should have grown up in a normal family, the softness that should have been cared for by his mother and grown up, those things that were crushed by Han Chengyue's indifference and Lin Manqi's calculations;
He wanted to give him a home: a home where he could wait for him in the lights, a home where he could know that someone was waiting for him to go back when the lights of thousands of houses came on.
The fragrance of cedar filled the summer of my eighteenth year, and the rest of my life was full of new life.
Intention: For love, perhaps waiting is the norm
