Yu Duo’s given name was Yu Du, but it was mistakenly registered as Yu Duo when he was added to the household records.
Perhaps that erroneous name had an effect on his life. When he was two, his constantly bickering parents finally split up. They soon each started new families and had more children, and he truly became the one who didn’t belong. But at least he was still Meijuan’s A-Du.
When Yu Duo was in first grade, his hometown was slated for demolition. So the two of them moved into a tiny apartment in the city’s school district, hoping he could get a good education. From then on, Yu Duo dreamed of buying Meijuan a big house with a yard.
To make that dream come true, college student Yu Duo spent every day either in class or working odd jobs. His only pleasure was scrolling through the class president’s social media before bed, saving every picture with a screenshot, then quietly slipping a like onto one of them among all the other friends.
At the freshman registration desk, Lu Chengjing saw a pair of beautiful eyes he couldn’t forget. When he gave his speech during the student election, he was delighted to spot those eyes fixed intently on him from the audience.
Later, Lu Chengjing realized that Yu Duo, always busy with part-time jobs and usually alone, only ever liked his posts.
Yu Duo knew he liked Lu Chengjing, but never thought of doing anything about it.
Lu Chengjing was curious about Yu Duo, so he took one step toward him, then another.
He thought life would go on happily and peacefully like that, but Meijuan’s sudden death made Yu Duo’s world and his dream collapse together.
Losing someone you love is a downpour that never ends, but Lu Chengjing will always be by Yu Duo’s side, holding an umbrella over him.
Theme: Healthy love can nourish both people and help them become their best selves.
