Sunny, calm and measured (attack) ✕ Gloomy, silent and accustomed to loneliness (suffer)
Wei Ran:
He grew up in love. But not the kind of heartless noisy kind - he is sunny, but not noisy; cheerful, but with boundaries. He speaks and acts steadily, like a big brother, making people feel very reliable. Sunny and cheerful, but not noisy. Don't talk too much and don't talk too much - you will speak when you need to say it and know how to shut up when you shouldn't. Have good empathy ability, can detect changes in other people's emotions, and know when to get close and when to keep distance.
He will not forcefully open a person's mouth just because he is silent, nor will he shy away from someone just because he is cold. He would just sit quietly, look at it occasionally, and wait.
Lin Xuyi:
He was a man who had grown up in the shadows—not the angry, prickly kind, but the quiet, huddled kind. Get used to lowering your head, getting used to letting your broken hair block your eyes, getting used to hiding yourself in the least noticeable corner. Very few words. It's not that I'm being indifferent, I really don't know what to say. A person who grows up in love will naturally approach others, but he will not - he is used to not being noticed, and he is used to not paying attention to others.
But his "gloom" is not solid ice. He just doesn't know how to get close to the light, it's not that he doesn't want to get close. I am used to not being seen, but I will secretly look at that too bright light when no one is paying attention.
Tone of the relationship:
It's not a grand redemption, but a very slow and gentle approach. A person is used to hiding in the shadows, and a person is used to waiting. Light doesn't chase shadows, it's just there. Then one day, Shadow moved a step on his own.
Lin Xuyi is the shadow itself, but she will secretly look at the beam of light when no one is paying attention; Wei Ran is the beam of light, never intentionally illuminating anyone, but quietly waiting for the shadow to move a step on its own.
Concept: About how a person who is accustomed to shadows learns to look sideways for the first time next to a light that is not dazzling.
