During the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, the old house leaked.
When Lin Zhixia returned, she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the roof.
He half-knelt on the slippery tiles, his movements as precise as surgery, but when she raised her head, he instantly calmed down the tsunami in her eyes.
"Gong Shen," she probed, "Have we met before?"
The man lowered his eyes and said in a voice as cold as rain: "Miss Lin recognized the wrong person. Her surname is Shen and her name is Yan."
But there are too many coincidences, and it becomes a long-planned plan.
The only character "Xia" in her name was engraved on the pen he repaired;
The tea he made was always the one she was used to without sugar;
The jasmine he planted was her favorite flower in childhood;
Even behind the old photo hidden in the cracks in the wall, there was a line of words that had been erased and blurred——
"I want to protect her..."
Until a rainstorm night, water leaked in the study, and a soaked diary fell to the ground.
The paper is full of nonsense, and her name is all on it.
From the day she returned to China to every day and night ten years ago.
Shen Yan was trembling all over and begging with red eyes: "Don't look at it... It's all nonsense, just burn it."
Lin Zhixia held his cold hand and burst into tears:
"Shen Yan, during the thunderstorm that year, you actually wanted to say, 'I've been waiting for you', right?"
The man's defense collapsed and he hugged her tightly, his voice breaking:
"Zhixia, I have never let you go. Ten years, twenty years, a lifetime."
Purpose: The true meaning of love and protection: By using the story of the male and female protagonists after ten years of separation and reunion, it is explained that true love is not about possession or sacrifice, but like a mortise and tenon that is "tight but not dead, loose but not loose", fighting side by side while being independent and closely interlocking.
