Three years after the breakup, Chen Jiayin was tricked by her best friend into sharing a flat. When she opened the door, she discovered that her roommate was her ex-boyfriend Xu Cheng.
He rented the house two years ago, with one room vacant and never rented it out. He said it was "in case someone comes," but no one knew who he was waiting for.
An old lover is forced to live together. The food he cooked still tasted the way she liked, he remembered all her habits, he opened a cafe called "Because of You", and he would suddenly appear to cover her drink when she was in trouble. But he said nothing. I didn't say it three years ago, and I still won't say it three years later.
What Chen Jiayin didn't know was that the traces that she thought had disappeared long ago - the bracelet she lost, the sketches she made casually, the words she said casually - were collected by him one by one, hidden in the years when he was silent.
Whether a broken mirror can be reunited depends on whether the person on the other side of the crack is still there.
