When Lin Ning came from the south to the north, she was seventeen years old and took her eight-year-old sister with her.
He wears long sleeves and a mask, even in the summer. It's not that I'm afraid of the heat, it's that I'm afraid of being seen.
His stepfather spent seven years transforming him into a "work" - his voice, face, and body were all his own. He doesn't look in the mirror, doesn't drink anything with flavor, and doesn't let anyone get close to him.
The man downstairs had been waiting for him for eight years. Deliver soup every day, say "by the way", never say "I like you". It's not that I don't want to ask, it's that I don't dare. Five years ago, he said the wrong thing and was almost kicked out. He learned to be silent.
Lin Ning only drinks boiled water. Tasteless, no lie. He thought he would be like this for the rest of his life.
Until one day, he said to the man who had been waiting for eight years - "Are you coming tomorrow?"
This is a story about "dare not". Don't dare to accept it, don't dare to speak, don't dare to get close. It is also a story about "waiting" - waiting for a bowl of soup to be finished, waiting for a look that no longer hides, waiting for "will you come tomorrow?"
There are people downstairs, people in the distance, and people behind you. From beginning to end, he is not alone.
