——He is the fire on the tip of his heart, burning away the past and burning the rest of his life.
Shen Yan, a photographer who traveled all over the world, was free and uninhibited, but happened to fall on an old man with disabled legs in a bar in Juba City.
Zhou Lie, the bar owner, is elegant and calm, but carries a heavy past. He thought he was already heartbroken, but on that rainy night, the fiery gaze of a young man ignited the embers in his heart.
One is a young man in his twenties who travels around the world, and the other is an old man with disabled legs and can only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. No one knew when they would meet each other's eyes.
Shen Yan said: "Zhou Lie, I want to chase you and be with you every day."
Zhou Lie was silent, the fear and desire in his heart intertwined into a web. He knew he shouldn't expect too much, but he couldn't resist Shen Yan's approach.
"If you can impress me..." Zhou Lie whispered, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
Chen Yan smiled, his eyes blazing: "Then just wait until I catch you."
——
From the rainy nights in Juba City to the warm sunshine in autumn, Shen Yan used his warmth and gentleness to melt the ice in Zhou Lie's heart little by little. However, the shadow of Zhou Lie's past is approaching like a gangrene attached to his bones. The forces trying to pull him back into the abyss were quietly approaching.
"Zhou Lie, don't be afraid." Shen Yan held his hand tightly with a firm gaze, "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."
Zhou Lie closed his eyes and felt the temperature of Shen Yan's palm, and the fear in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that he might really be able to let go of the past and start over.
**Offset in the lower year x Sufferer in the upper year**: Shen Yan (young photographer) x Zhou Lie (mature bar owner), the age difference is 11 years.
Intention: I just want to spend the rest of my life with you.
