"Staying next to you, being controlled by you day after day, interrogating my friends, and even being restrained from pursuing my favorite photography, I don't want this kind of company."
"Stay in Jiangcheng, where I can see you, isn't it good?"
This is a coming-of-age realistic romance novel with the core of mountain and wilderness documentary, two-way redemption and measured love.
Photographer Lin Xu was once trapped in an old relationship that was pulled by paranoia. He escaped, wandered, and closed himself off. He relied on the lens and numerology to overcome his confusion. After reuniting with Yu Lei, who had broken up with him for three years due to his out-of-control possessiveness, the two started the cohabitation assessment mode. They no longer reproduced the forcefully bound love in the past, and tried to learn to love again with respect, restraint and integration.
In order to break through the creative bottleneck, Lin Xu embarked on a collecting tour throughout Yunnan, from Kunming and Shaxi Ancient Town to Dali's Erhai Lake and Shangri-La Clouds, recording the intangible cultural heritage, Tibetan folk customs and human fireworks. After the account unexpectedly became popular, the feelings hidden behind the camera were gradually exposed. The hugs that traveled thousands of miles and the frank and relaxed daily life made millions of readers empathize with the restrained heart of adults.
There is no quick sweet love here, only two people with scars overturning their old selves and making corrections in both directions; there is no deliberately created dramatic conflict, the evening breeze in the mountains and fields, chats in the city, camera records and daily time spent together tell the story together: falling in love is instinct, staying together is practice, and the best love is to run freely and stay with each other in a measured way.
Purpose: True love is never about possessiveness, binding or forceful confinement, but about shedding the paranoid desire for control, taking respect as the background and companionship as the core, walking side by side with your lover, tolerating each other, and growing in both directions during the running-in. Love does not need to be proven by binding. Long-term and gentle companionship is the most sincere and longest-lasting confession.
