Chu Zhan accidentally walked into the "Preface" bookstore to avoid social activities, and was attracted by Jiang Xu's focus on repairing old books. The two met over an out-of-print architectural album.
Chu Zhan became a frequent visitor to the bookstore, often stopping by to "escape from the world" and observe Jiang Xu's life: she fed stray cats, helped the elderly find old books, and handed umbrellas to readers who forgot to bring them on rainy days. Jiang Xu discovered that Chu Zhan was not as indifferent as rumored - he would silently buy slow-selling poetry collections, calmly help her when she moved heavy objects, and even brought tools to repair the lamp when the circuit in the bookstore broke down.
The relationship between the two hovered on the border of "more than strangers, not enough friends". Chu Zhan's colleagues noticed his changes, while Jiang Xu's best friend encouraged her to take the initiative to get closer.
Intention: Go both ways
