The first time Lin Xiaoman met Shen Yu, he squatted in the stairwell and cried.
She knelt down and put a candy: "If you eat it, you won't feel sad."
He was there again the next day.
She put another one in.
On the third day, he stood at the top of the stairs waiting for her.
"I'll give it to you directly from now on."
He said.
Later she found out - he was afraid of the dark.
Afraid that the whole building would lose power, he stood in the dark and dared not move.
But he would grab the strap of her schoolbag and follow her.
Later, the whole school knew that Shen Yu was not easy to mess with.
Talk less, be cold-faced, and keep away from strangers.
Only Lin Xiaoman knows——
He was afraid that the dark would grab her hand,
When I feel wronged, I will squat in a corner and say nothing.
If you cry, look away and say "I'm not crying".
If she said a few words to others, he would secretly express his displeasure.
Saying "You're so annoying",
People have already gathered around.
"Shenyu."
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you tell me you were afraid of the dark?"
"You know."
"I know, but I want to hear what you have to say."
"... Scared."
"Then you're not afraid now?"
Shen Yu looked at her and paused.
"You won't be afraid if you are here."
He was afraid of the dark, but she was there.
So in all the darkness that followed, someone led him.
Intention: When the world is dark, someone holds your hand
