    Reader note

    When I learned that *Blind Box Love Loading: Candy Wrappers* wasn't a single narrative, but rather a collection of episodic stories comprised of "a couple + a set of program materials," I was struck by how much more poignant the "blind box" in the title was than I had imagined. It's not an opening of a love blind box, but a whole box filled with candies of varying sweetness. Each box reveals how contemporary men and women, within the framework of "first encounters with strangers + rules," transform the cold materials from the program into a tender moment unique to them. Each story is an independent "love blind box," the program materials are the fixed "bottom rules," and the stranger protagonists are the randomly dropped "accessories." There's no preamble, no omniscient perspective; all that's there is the awkwardness of two ordinary people facing task cards, the tentative communication during the process, and the sudden appearance of genuine feelings outside the rules—perhaps the boy frantically sings off-key during the program's "talent show," but remembers the lyrics the girl said she liked; perhaps the girl, during the "mandatory questions," avoids the program's pre-set romantic lines and earnestly says, "I thought the way you handed me the water was very gentle." These moments that break free from the "scripted material" are more moving than any artificial sweetener, because they contain the most precious sincerity between strangers: I didn't follow the rules, but I wanted to be sincere with you. The image of the "candy wrapper" is even more exquisite in the episodic stories. It's both the independent packaging of each story—different men and women have different levels of sweetness in their interactions, some a light, refreshing sweetness, some a slowly unfolding tartness, and some an intense, overwhelming sweetness; and the common core of all the stories—the program's materials are the hard shell, the two people's sincerity is the sugar inside, and the candy wrapper is those cautious probes, those unspoken concerns, gently wrapping the softest feelings, both afraid of being seen through and hoping to be understood. Compared to a continuous, long love story, this "one-on-one + material" structure feels more like a realistic slice of contemporary love. No encounter is a pre-planned story. Most first meetings between strangers are governed by "rules" (social etiquette, identity labels). Love, however, is never a process of loading up; rather, it's when someone is willing to set aside the "materials" and transform the distance of unfamiliarity into a unique sweetness. Just like opening a whole box of blind boxes, what you remember in the end is not a particular "hidden item," but the thrill of "So you were here all along" each time you open it.
