Xu Sui, a girl from the community, went on a blind date for the 13th time and met Cheng Yuan, the cook team leader who was covered in mud and water.
He always helped the lonely elderly men repair their roofs on rainy days, and his toolbox contained fruit candies to soothe the children; she often hung the community room key on her camouflage uniform belt, and filled the thermos bucket with chrysanthemum tea to reduce fires.
There was no thrilling life-and-death rescue, only the mint growing on the window sill of the cooking class sprouted new leaves, his handwritten food safety tips were posted on the community bulletin board, and the pockets of her camouflage pants gradually filled with the lozenges she stuffed.
When the first clump of bluebells swayed in the wasteland of the station, he held Obito's roots and asked her: "Director Xu, are you willing to take over my 'responsibility field'?"
