Chen Sizhen has his own way of dealing with people. He is not that brave or smart, he just runs away.
She ran away from criticism, malice and trouble, until she saw Shen Fuming.
The weight of life was on his back, and there were traces of burden on his face. He just kept walking alone with his head buried.

In the deep alley, the air is moist from the fresh rain.
Shen Fuming closed his umbrella, and the two of them sat on the low wall for a while. She finally stopped chattering, and she didn't know how much he listened. She just saw him raising his head and looking far away.
He spoke.
He said he was waiting.
When he comes of age, will he pay off his debts and have his own life?
The cool breeze blew by my ears, bringing with it a dampness that made me sober.
Chen Sizhen was speechless for a moment.
For a long time, she thought he was just taking a path with no escape.
But it's all the same.
The escape she was accustomed to relying on was the present, while he was waiting for the future.
