When Dr. Lin Zhixu graduated, he thought that entering college would mean going to college.
Three years later she discovered that An was a fake. The countdown to promotion or resignation hung above her head, the rejection email for C journal was lying in the mailbox, the instructor deleted her name from the paper, her peers were chatting and laughing at the academic conference, and she stood in the corner and counted her savings - it was not enough to buy a half-square-meter school district room.
When Chen Yu graduated with a master's degree, he thought that entering the top three would mean stability.
Eight years later, he discovered that stability was fake. Three days and one night shift, the young man who failed to rescue, the pushing and shoving from his drunken family members, and his father's diagnosis of terminal lung cancer. When his ex-wife divorced, he said, "You can't give me the life I want." He wanted to say, "I can't give myself either," but he didn't speak.
They met in the emergency room.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and she was still thinking about tomorrow's class. He performed an operation on her. During the postoperative ward rounds, he saw her lying on the hospital bed writing a paper. He suddenly felt that this person was just like him - she was struggling, exhausted, and would not ask for help.
Later she learned that he would buy an oden at a convenience store at four in the morning and sit on the steps to eat until dawn.
Later he learned that she would send him a picture of the moon outside the window during sleepless nights, and then the two of them would remain silent and continue their lives.
They are not each other's antidote.
But late at night when I couldn't hold it any longer, someone suddenly handed me a bowl of hot porridge and said, "Eat it. It's from a convenience store. It's not hot."
"I don't need anyone to save me."
"I know. I just wanted to sit next to you for a while."
Concept: The heartbeat of adults is not to provide help in times of need, but to exchange glances under the street lamp while each is covered in snow.
