The old narrow alleys of Nancheng are noisy and crowded all year round, and Su Yu grew up here. Living in the negative voice of his family for a long time, he is sensitive and introverted, with an inferiority complex that is difficult to eradicate. He is used to shrinking in the corner of the crowd, avoiding all attention and kindness, and believes that he is mediocre and cowardly and does not deserve to have light.
On a midsummer afternoon, he met Lu Shiyan at the entrance of an alley, who was returning to his hometown to tidy up his ancestral home. The first encounter was just a simple question of directions. After a brief encounter, Su Yu just thought that the two of them were from two different worlds and that they had nothing to do with each other after they crossed paths.
But fate often arranges reunions. Lu Shiyan was gentle and self-possessed, keenly aware of the young man's layer upon layer of cowardice, and did not pry rashly or approach forcefully, but slowly extended the right amount of tenderness.
Su Yu instinctively retreated and tried again and again. While he was greedy for the rare warmth, he was deeply in self-doubt, fearing that he would be disappointed if he got close. During the long period of getting along, the restrained heartbeat quietly grew, and the inferiority complex and longing were tugging at each other day and night.
The road ahead is marked by huge disparities, the eyes of others, and the self-denial that has long been rooted in my heart.
The fireworks in the old alley remain as usual every year, and a beam of light from afar falls into the dark alley.
Su Yu didn't dare to reach out and touch it. He didn't know whether the sudden warmth was passing by for a short time or staying for a long time.
Purpose: live a good life
