About This Novel

At one o'clock in the morning in the city, the automatic door of the Nikko convenience store dinged. Lin Wan, an intern advertising person, walked in looking exhausted, and her eyes behind her black-rimmed glasses were filled with tiredness. The cashier Lu Chenxi lowered his head to tally the goods and only remembered that this regular customer was "good-looking, but not easy to mess with." They are the two most inconspicuous people in this city: One is swallowed up by the plan in the cubicle and relies on coffee to survive; One works three shifts at a convenience store and covers half of his face with bangs. The only interactions we have every day are the beep of the code scanner, the exchange of change, and an inaudible "thank you." Until-- The awning suddenly opened on a rainy night, The headphone cord got tangled up at three in the morning, That extra piece of radish in the oden pot, The weight on my shoulders after being drunk... Those moments where you can't tell whether they are coincidences or heart-warming moments, Like the products on the shelves, they are scanned and priced one by one. But no one dared to confirm the true price. Two souls who carefully calculate the costs in life, Under the cold fluorescent lights of the convenience store, A "price negotiation" that no one knew about began. They wandered repeatedly in front of the love shelves, Until I found out-- Some things can never be clearly priced. --This is a story about ordinary people. Very slow, very light, very real. Just like the convenience store you pass by every day, You secretly watched that one many times, The one who never had the courage to say hello. Welcome, Here we sell the fragility of the early morning and the hope of the early morning, And two hearts that dare not say love.
