Introduction
Lin Xiaoman, a 25-year-old trainee lawyer, and his childhood sweetheart Zhou Yanzhi reunited in Qingmei Lane, which was about to be demolished. The two looked at each other through the glass window of the law firm, hiding their unspoken secret love for ten years. Zhou Yanzhi is the "undefeated lawyer" in the industry. He looks cold and calm, but his drawer contains pens, hairbands, and post-it notes that she has given her since she was 10 years old. Lin Xiaoman is cheerful and dares to love. When she first entered the workplace, she discovered that this person always silently left a light and sent sweet and sour steaks for her. Bone, the brother next door who held an umbrella to protect her in the rainstorm, had written preference into daily life long ago - he would secretly practice the dishes she mentioned casually, would organize legal cases until the early morning on the eve of her trial, and would turn red when she dug out old photo albums.
In the workplace, they are rivals and comrades-in-arms. They have a tacit understanding of each other when representing opposing cases, stay up late side by side in public welfare legal aid, and use their professional abilities and gentle details to get closer to each other. There was no misunderstanding or pull, only the iron box hidden in the hole of the cherry tree, the diary filled with every detail of her life, and the bear keychain that never left her suit pocket, gradually pieced together the truth about the two-way secret love. When the cherry blossoms in Qingmei Lane were flying again, he finally said the words "I like you" that he had hidden for fifteen years, and she had already held the heartbeat that spanned ten years in every piece of warmth he sent her.
A pure love story about "time and preference" slowly unfolds in the confrontation between law firm files and court trials. It turns out that the best confession is the companionship that has never been absent in the years.
