A summer downpour sends art student Lin Xingluo into a warmly lit convenience store, and into Jiang Xufeng’s world. One clutches a sketchbook, determined to capture the play of light and shadow on the streets; the other tends a flower stall on the corner, using fresh blooms to bring a little tenderness to the late-night hours.
A chance conversation at the convenience store and an easy understanding at the flower stall draw two once-parallel hearts gradually closer. She paints the sunset filtering through the plane trees for him; he saves the freshest daisies for her. The sweetness of hot cocoa and the coolness of mint candy become flavors that belong to the two of them alone.
But a secret lies behind Jiang Xufeng’s leave of absence, and Lin Xingluo’s brush longs to capture every part of him. As the summer breeze slowly sweeps away the gloom, the feelings they never voiced and their tentative steps toward each other will finally ripen into the gentlest answer beneath the falling starlight: the best kind of meeting is when you bring your light into the quiet corner where I happened to stop.
