During the day, she is a young sales executive with perfect makeup and precise conversation. At night, she is a dry girl who is forced by family lawsuits and emotional isolation to rely on overeating to survive.
Until she ran into a bookstore with lights on late at night in the sour smell of vomit and rain.
In the display window, a white porcelain bowl repaired with gold thread was displayed silently, with a label that read: "Don't cover up its flaws, but cover up its marks."
The boss Zheng Xu is a "ruin organizer". He repaired broken books, repaired broken porcelain, and filled the most unbearable cracks with the most expensive gold powder.
He handed her a glass of warm water with honey, not even looking at her mess.
Later she learned that he repaired ancient books, repaired old objects, and used the most exquisite craftsmanship to treat the most complete brokenness.
"Some things are broken when they are broken, and there is no second piece."
"But just because it's broken doesn't mean it should be thrown away."
Lin Long held the cup of warm water and suddenly wanted to ask:
What about me?
Does a person who has been cracked by life deserve to be looked at quietly like this, instead of being eager to be repaired or disliked?
Later, there was an additional entry in Zheng Xu's restoration record book:
No. 081
Subject: Lin Taki (25 years old, severely damaged)
Damage: workplace overload, family stress breakdown, emotional exhaustion and collapse
Method: sit still and observe, provide appropriate companionship, and provide a safe space (unauthorized repairs are strictly prohibited)
Note: She is not an artifact and does not need to be repaired. When it heals itself, light will grow in the crack.
