Repairing Computers is Not as Good as Repairing People's Hearts
About This Novel
Xu Xiaoyang, a social worker, was repairing his computer late at night. When the motherboard exploded, he was saved by Xu Jiajia, the "mysterious repairman" of Digital City. She used popping candy to talk about the principles of hard drives, used a Gucci belt as a fire extinguishing tool, had five screwdrivers in the pockets of her overalls, and read "Don't ask me to fix computers unless you look like Daniel Wu" written on the back of her sweatshirt - and he became that "exception." When the blue screen crisis involves the quantum conspiracy of the Xinghai Group, and when the burnt tie clip is related to the disappearance case twenty-three years ago, two souls dominated by data repair each other in cyberspace: He learned to use binary to talk about love, and she knew how to use emotions as a firewall. The scorch marks on the motherboard, the codes in the bear cookies, and the quantum scars behind the ears are all their medals against the world. "Isn't it better to repair computers than to repair people's hearts?" No, what she repaired was never the machine, but everyone who collapsed at three o'clock in the morning - including him who was wearing a suit and ties but hid his tears in the hard drive.
