The "Tangtang Bookstore" in Wutong Lane has a special rule and is open until 11:30 at night. For the shop owner Su Xiaotang, this lamp that stays on late at night is the haven she has built for herself. The feeling of being ignored in her previous relationship was too profound. She would rather use her busy daily life to avoid in-depth connections, and only live with the smell of books in the room and the mint potted plants on the windowsill.
Until Lu Ze appeared. The architect, who was troubled by insomnia, accidentally broke into the bookstore and was cured by a glass of hot milk and a quiet corner. Since then, he has become a frequent visitor late at night. He would quietly repair the loose bookshelf, arrange the books neatly according to the design drawings, send her home under an umbrella on rainy days, and exchange the cranberry biscuits made by his mother for the hot cocoa she cooked.
Two people with slight "emotional avoidance" slowly approached each other in a tacit understanding at half past eleven. But when Su Xiaotang's ex-boyfriend suddenly turned around and asked to get back together, and when Lu Ze accidentally saw the unsent confession text message on his phone, timidity and worry instantly distanced him from each other.
Fortunately, some hearts will never be let down. He used an architectural model to recreate the late-night corner of the bookstore, and she mustered up the courage to confess her inner uneasiness. It turns out that the best love is never a vigorous rush, but two broken souls slowly piece together a warm appearance while waiting and accompanying each other day after day.
This is a meeting that started at 11:30, about healing, about waiting, and about two adults finally learning to put down their guard and embrace each other.
