The Daily Life of an Emotional Scavenger

Have you ever had a moment like this? My milk tea suddenly turns bitter halfway through, even though I've just added double the sugar. I'm typing on the keyboard and it suddenly gets stuck, even though I've just cleaned the dust yesterday. I'm walking on the road feeling inexplicably flustered, even though the weather is perfect and the road ahead is smooth. Don't think it's because your luck has gotten worse, maybe it's because you have too many "unreleased emotional fragments" accumulated around you—— It is the anger held back by office workers in the subway, the unspoken secret love and shyness of girls on campus, the regret hidden in the eyes of the old man in front of the hospital bed, and the unquenched obsession of losers late at night. These emotions that have not had time to land will not disappear out of thin air. They will only become translucent entities, floating in corners like dust, quietly corroding the luck and mood around them. And Lin Ye is the one who can see these fragments. During the day, he was a mournful social worker in the print shop, wearing a washed-white T-shirt and faint dark circles under his eyes, responding perfunctorily to the urgings of customers; at night, he was a "wild emotional scavenger" wandering in the cracks of the city, carrying an old cloth bag left by his grandma, collecting the scattered emotional fragments, and turning them into "emotional blind boxes" with warmth. His clients are all kinds of strange: a depressed girl who needs a sweet crush, a bankrupt boss who needs a desperate courage, and a student who wants to enjoy fishing and relieve stress. His opponents are fierce: technology companies that monopolize the emotional market, official administrations that see scavengers as a thorn in their side, and those unresolved obsessions and secrets hidden behind emotional fragments. This is not a simple "emotional trading" story, but a story about regret and redemption courage.
