Jiang Xiaoqian is well-known in urban law firms as a "desperate helper". It's normal to stay up all night while working on the case file. She can also calmly deal with clients who make things difficult for her. After her ex-boyfriend broke up with her three years ago because he thought she was "too hard to live a life", she welded "career" on her body and wrapped her cowardice in relationships with a capable armor. She even dared to respond perfunctorily even when her family urged her to get married.
Until the intern Shen resigned and joined the company, her tight rhythm was broken. When she couldn't move the heavy case files, he would always happen to pass by and help her; when she worked overtime and missed meals, he would always bring an extra hot meal with her; even if the pen she casually mentioned ran out of water, a new pen of the same model would appear on the table the next day. Jiang Xiaoqian only thought of him as a "younger brother" who knew how to behave, but she didn't realize that the way he looked at her contained a passion that spanned many years.
It turns out that in high school, Shen Ci was a transfer student who was bullied. As a senior, Jiang Xiaoqian stepped forward and gave him a note that said "Don't be afraid." This warmth became his light, and he chased her all the way, going to her city and entering her law firm. All the "coincidences" were long-planned approaches.
When Jiang Xiaoqian was questioned by a client and fell into self-doubt due to a difficult case, Shen Ci no longer hid. He stayed up late combing the evidence chain, argued for her at the meeting, and even took out the yellowed note: "Sister, you helped me back then, now I will protect you."
He used the determination of a young man to break down her pretense of "not needing protection" and healed her fear of feelings; and under his protection, Jiang Xiaoqian regained her belief that "someone will come for you." This "long-planned" event that began over time is a two-way redemption of two souls in the indifference of the city. It is also a heart-stirring chapter in which a strong woman takes off her armor and embraces sweet love.
