Lin Yingwan's camera can capture everything except love.
She tried. More than a dozen love affairs, the shortest is two days, the longest is three months. Each interview was a sample of her observations—she recorded their eyes, tone of voice, and heartbeat rate, and then copied and pasted them into the script. She thought she would understand this way. But the audience in the screening room said: The picture is beautiful, but there is no emotion.
She didn't know what "feeling" meant. Until she walked into the flower shop.
Shen Ji'an stepped towards the light and walked toward him. His hair was tied into a braid and hung loosely behind his back. His entire face was as delicate as a god in an oil painting.
Lin Yingwan felt tempted and bought a bunch of warm roses to give to the man in front of her.
Lin Yingwan said: "Proposal gift, I will come again tomorrow. I hope to receive your reply."
He said: "No need for tomorrow, just today."
Later she learned that his reason for agreeing was as absurd as hers - she thought it was a good opportunity to experience marriage, and he thought the story would be interesting.
Two madmen signed a contract.
She observes him and he watches the show. It was very quiet in the flower shop, the cat was meowing and so on, and the sunlight was slanting in through the window and shining on the white lisianthus. She thought she was making observations until she opened her notebook one day and found that she had not written a word for three pages.
She stared at the blank paper and finally admitted: There are some things that cannot be observed.
And Shen Ji'an - the flower shop owner who gave up photography - had been waiting for her to admit this.
He waited a long time.
No more waiting, he is still waiting.
