The craziest thing Yi Qing has ever done in her life was not skipping school to climb over the wall, not fighting someone, not leaving a wealthy family and running abroad - it was picking up a dying man back home in a dirty alley.
That man's name is Zhong Cheng. He doesn't laugh, he doesn't talk, he doesn't approach anyone. Yi Qing said: Come with me and I will give you a home. Zhong Cheng didn't nod, but he didn't leave either.
Later, Yi Qing discovered that she was the one who was picked up.
Later he escaped. I ran away for several years and fled to the other side of the world. On the day he came back, Zhong Cheng stood in the crowd and looked at him, his eyes were exactly the same as when he was beaten in the alley - quiet, not asking questions, and determined that he would come back.
"Is there something you didn't tell me?"
Zhong Cheng was silent for a long time. "I wanted to say it before you left."
"Then why don't you say it."
"Because you wouldn't let me leave—I thought you wouldn't leave either."
Wildfires burned him for several years. He thought it had been destroyed long ago. When I came back, I found that the fog was still in place and had not dispersed even a step.
Concept: Two people who are owed by the world find the only answer in each other.
