Introduction to the novel
Chen Lixi, a customer service girl who struggled in the city, ran away from her native family at the age of fifteen. She once met the light-like Bai Yueguang Chi Yaomo in Beijing - the Temple University academic who taught her how to ride a bicycle, silently ordered 689 yuan fish head cakes for her but lied about 16 yuan, and only felt sorry for her when she was in a car accident. Many years later, while she was living a stable life in a customer service position, she unexpectedly met Taobao back-end customer service Qi Yikai through a friend.
Qi Yikai broke into her life with some clumsy tricks: he pretended to be poor so that she could buy a shirt, lied to her parents about being in a relationship for half a year, secretly remembered that she loved spicy food, and gave her warm black chicken soup during her period. From the companionship in WeChat videos, the weekend art exhibition and hot pot dates, to the tacit understanding of "shooter with assistant" in the Canyon of Kings, the ambiguity is quietly fermenting in the smoke of fireworks at the night market and the evening breeze in the wetland park.
On the second day of November, Chen Lixi's birthday, Qi Yikai confessed to her while holding champagne roses and confessed that he had never been in love and only wanted to marry her. Chen Lixi lowered her guard and talked about Bai Yueguang in the past, but she also firmly chose the clingy and sincere boy in front of her. Since then, Qi Yikai's "stickiness" has been completely unlocked: he wakes up early every day to deliver breakfast, shares trivial daily routines during work breaks, picks her up after get off work to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, and even plans a future with her when he moves to a new home.
This is a love story hidden in the fireworks of the market - there is no dramatic plot, only the hot latte handed to the hand, the residual warmth on the coat, the message replied in seconds on WeChat, and two people who were once lonely, slowly moving toward each other's sincerity while healing each other.
