Distant Gleam

Are you confused too? Eighteen-year-old Lin Xiao felt that this might be the case for her whole life. He is 185cm tall and not bad looking, but his luck is ridiculous - he failed the college entrance examination and makes a living by delivering food. He lives in a cubicle in a village in the city with a monthly rent of 300 yuan, and his card balance is less than three digits all year round. My grandfather was an entrepreneur who built bridges, roads, and charitable funds. He went bankrupt in his later years and died in depression; my grandmother also died with him a few years later. They taught Lin Xiao kindness and backbone, but they didn't have time to teach him how to face a life that was rude to him. His parents are in poor health, his grandparents don't want to see him, and the girl he likes is out of reach. Eighteen-year-old Lin Xiao stood on the rooftop of the urban village and felt that the future was like a wall, so dark that he could not see the road. Then Ah Che fell down. A palm-sized AI elf comes from a distant civilization that lacks emotions. Its mission is to learn human beings' "emotional bonds." It will glow, turn into a furry little thing, stay by his pillow when he has nightmares, and say "I'm covering you" in a serious tone. Its ability is bound to Lin Xiao's emotional state - the more positive Lin Xiao is, the stronger it is; the more desperate Lin Xiao is, the weaker it is. This is not a story of salvation. This is the story of a boy who has been unlucky for eighteen years and learns to walk with his head raised in the company of a ball of pale golden light. He started out with "I can't do anything" and ended up being his own light. Even, become the light for others.
