[A sunny, direct younger top who never overthinks, like a puppy]
[A refined older bottom who keeps people at a distance but has a soft heart, like a tortoise]
Pei Shan and Zhao Yueming met when Zhao Yueming "rescued" her from a bar.
Drunk out of her mind, Pei Shan was lying in the middle of the road, dazed and confused, when Zhao Yueming, who worked at a convenience store, took her home.
Zhao Yueming bathed and changed her, soothed her to sleep, and even made her a stomach-warming breakfast the next morning.
Pei Shan was so moved she thought she ought to repay her benefactor with at least a few million. But after seeing her benefactor's face, Pei Shan decided that such a huge kindness could only be repaid by offering herself. Zhao Yueming refused her offer, though.
From then on, Pei Shan became a little shadow trailing after Zhao Yueming.
When she was young, Zhao Yueming had a love that left a deep mark on her. It just didn't end well.
Though she had completely escaped that wounded relationship many years later, she had truly become a loner, turning away every suitor.
She thought that being alone in the days to come would be just fine.
Loneliness might torment you sometimes, but it doesn't hurt, because you can never betray yourself.
Love is different. You can never know what's in another person's heart. Even the most intimate lovers can deceive and betray each other. And the more deeply they once loved, the more cruel and painful it feels.
Zhao Yueming didn't want to go through that a second time.
She knew she couldn't see past another person's outward appearance to their true nature, so she chose to close the door on love.
But a little bandit named Pei Shan latched onto her. She not only camped outside the door, but forced it open and said, "Sis, be my girlfriend."
Theme: I can take a hundred steps toward you, as long as you'll wait for me.
