Shen Zhihuai × Shen Yu
At the age of twenty-six, Shen Zhihuai adopted Shen Yu, who saved his tuition by picking up rags. At that time, Shen Yu was like a fern without the shade of trees, staggering in the wind and rain, trying to stand firm in this world.
Later, Shen Yu got Shen Zhihuai, and she provided him with a good growth environment, not just material. Her three views and thoughts continued to nourish his spirit, allowing Shen Yu to grow into an excellent adult under the protection of Shen Zhihuai. But Shen Yu, who has been looking up to Shen Zhihuai, has never thought of being her big tree to provide her with shade, because she has never been a delicate flower. Shen Zhihuai has always been a tall and tall tree. She is excellent, independent, and stands leisurely between heaven and earth. He just wants to be another big tree, another big tree that is qualified to stand side by side with Shen Zhihuai.
