For ten years of marriage, Su Xiao and Chen Mo embedded the "AA system" into every corner of their lives—splitting mortgage payments, charging for housework by the hour, even drawing clear lines for their parents' elderly care. Until Su Xiao's mother suddenly developed uremia. She clutched her three-year savings and ran from hospital to hospital, while Chen Mo stood in the corridor counting bills: "This is your family's business; I don't have to pay." But when Chen's father broke his leg and needed 24/7 care, Chen Mo flipped through his contacts only to realize—he who once boasted "independence is cool" had long lost the woman willing to weather storms with him. When he stood downstairs of Su Xiao's new apartment with roses, he saw her in a business suit smiling and pointing at the sunset: "My current pension is only enough for myself." Turns out, true growth means no longer委屈ing your heart for the fake independence of "AA."
