Photosynthesis requires light, and stops after sunset.
They begin photosynthesizing after sunset, not because they have light, but because they have something even more dazzling.
The opening is a slow burn, with most of the story focused on the details of their projects.
Du Chiyu (25)
A contract worker at a design institute. Years of work have worn away her spirit and her dreams, and she is facing the trials of an Odyssean period. Work, continuing education, and her precarious physical and mental health: life has pushed her up against the wall again, forcing her to revisit the question she left unanswered at seventeen.
At the end of July, eight years later, she heard the moon's echo amid the crowd.
Pu Bojiang (26)
On a quiet, soundless night when she was eighteen, she asked herself: What in this world truly belonged to her? Her mother in a black-and-white photo frame, never to answer again? Or the silent mountain in the chat window? She had no answer then. Like her name, she was a lone tuft of grass by the stream, a boat stranded at a wild ferry crossing, unable to reach shore.
A rain that came far too late: her life had only just begun to grow damp when the rain took it over, leaving her unable to catch her breath.
Content warnings:
1. This story is saturated with work culture. Office drones, read at your discretion.
2. The author is not an industry professional. The industry details are entirely fictional, and there is no time for fact-checking for now. They may be refined later.
3. About 80% career, 20% romance. Overall, it's a slow burn. Working stiffs have to wait for weekends and holidays to find time for love, and even arguments have to avoid major project deadlines.
4. The theme is inspired by Kui Yin's song "The Old Pessimist."
Theme: The sun fell right to the ground and rolled feebly a few times.
Haha, Du Chiyu really loves Pu Bojiang's coquettishness, and his heart melts when he acts coquettishly.
I met my parents in confusion. Du Chiyu had a soft personality before, but he is very determined when things happen.
Oh my god, Pu Bojiang is so good.
Du Chiyu has a kind of robot that suddenly has a heartbeat due to the Pubo River. It is not used to it. It has an ordinary life, which is a luxury for cattle and horses.
Mr. Pu should be most grateful to Pu Bojiang when he was young, otherwise it would be difficult to have the opportunity. With Du Chiyu being so busy, it would be difficult to have time to get to know and accept new people.
You can understand how to play this game 🤩
Just like Xiao Yu, he doesn't understand the rules of the game and is confused.
Love makes people naive, and their heads are full of sugar and sweetness
Love in school can become an idol drama, but early love is easy to deal with
