When Su Huaixu took over the family cultural project, he never thought that when he renovated the old bookstore of the same name in the old city, he would fall into the arms of Gu Yanci. This dark-hearted and careful architect could not only accurately draw her small idea of "preserving the old bookshelf" hidden in the sketch, but he could also recognize the beeswax oil left by her grandfather at a glance. He even remembered her crying while holding a locust cake under the locust tree in her childhood.
The old bookstore needs to be transformed into a "time cafe". The old bookshelves have to be waxed with grandpa's old cotton cloth. Grandma Li's sophora flower pattern embroidery has to be covered with tablecloths next to the wicker chairs. Grandma Zhang's sophora flower cakes have to be placed in the most conspicuous position on the bar. Even the bottom of the custom-made cup has the handwriting of "Sophora japonica, I will grow old with you" hidden on the bottom of the customized cup. There was no bloody misunderstanding, only the locust pattern band-aid he handed over, the inter-season locust flower specimen she sandwiched in "The Little Prince", and the tacit understanding between the two of them squatting on the bluestone road to cultivate the soil for the newly planted locust tree seedlings.
From the hurried parting under the locust tree in childhood to the fireworks of building an old neighborhood together as adults, Gu Yanci used architecture to express his deep feelings, while Su Huaixu used time to cherish memories - it turns out that the best love is to be with you, turning half of the old time in the old neighborhood into the sweetness of the scent of locust flowers.
