Thirty-two-year-old Xia Wan lost two things on the same day: her job and a stranger she had only met once.
In the morning when she was unemployed, she lay in the middle of the road and watched the clouds. A car came and a boy in a white T-shirt pulled her up from the ground. The morning glow exploded behind him. Before she could say thank you, she was rushed away by the crowd during the morning rush hour.
She only remembered his hands - dry, warm, strong.
Throughout the summer, she waited for him on that road every day. Someone whose name I don't even know.
This summer, Xia Wan was wavering between choices, between "searching" and "giving up", struggling with self-doubt about "can I still be willful in my thirties?"
Until one evening, in an old noodle shop, she said a vow to the steaming bowl of beef noodles in front of her -
"With this bowl of noodles as my witness, I swear - from today on, eat well, sleep well, and walk well. I will no longer lie on the road watching the clouds and forgetting about the passing cars. Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry. When you meet someone you like, look twice more. When you encounter something you hate, take a detour. Live seriously."
This is not a story about "getting". This is a story about "how to regain yourself after losing it"
If you are between the ages of 30 and 45 and are experiencing the "midfield battle" of life - career bottlenecks, emotional burnout, and self-doubt
If you believe that some people appear not to accompany you for a lifetime, but to pull you up from the ground
Then this book is written for you
This is not a story about "getting"
These 500,000 words are ultimately not about how to "get" a person or a love, but how to "get" yourself.
The sweet dreams in the summer evening are dreams that every ordinary person has had in their hearts, about "another life", "another lover", and "another me". The meaning of the story is not to tell her that the dream was false, but to accompany her through the entire process of pursuit and loss, and finally let her understand -
True romance is not to lie on the road forever and watch the clouds, but to get up and pat the soil after seeing enough clouds, walk into a warm noodle shop, and eat a bowl of noodles for yourself properly and seriously.
