Later, it was the name of a stray dog. Later, it was a sentence that had been hidden in my heart for a long time. Later, it was the tomorrow that they finally dared to believe had already arrived.
Chen Shouzhuo never thought that his new deskmate would change his future life. Fang Suiyu talks little, is quiet, and lives alone. I don't wear a scarf in winter, I don't go to the cafeteria at noon, and my school uniform is empty. In the beginning, it was just a matter of convenience - bringing an extra steamed bun, buying an extra bottle of water, and walking an extra distance after school. Later, these "easy things" gradually turned into habits, turned into reluctance, and turned into "I don't want to wait any longer."
Fang Suiyu never thought that someone would be so kind to him. There is no reason, no reward, just put a bun on the corner of the table every day, hand over the loosened mineral water, and watch him all night when he has a fever. He didn't know how to catch these, so he hid, ran away, and told himself "I'm not worth it." But the man didn't leave. He's always there.
From the age of seventeen to twenty-eight, from being in the same class to being separated, from never daring to look back to finally meeting again. Some people have waited for so long that they think they are used to it; some people have been running for many years and finally stopped at a certain intersection and found that the person was still behind them. So what happened next? Later, when you dare to follow me, I will take you home. Later I stopped leaving. Later, it was the name engraved on the keychain, the extra rock candies at the bottom of the bowl, and the words they had hidden for half their lives when they named the dog——
"When it dares to follow, it will happen later."
This is a story about how people who are accustomed to hardship learn to be loved. It is also a story about a group of people who finally waited for the "later" after a long period of time. It was slow afterwards but worth the wait. Later it was very light, but I could bear all the suffering. Not long afterward, it was the day you finally dared to look back.
Intention: The reason why later is later is because I have waited. A person has lived his entire life only if he can afford to wait.
