When the writer Song Jinshu was forty-two years old, a reader named "Qingshan" left the first comment on his serial novel. In the next three years, Qingshan visited every chapter, and in a few words he accurately touched on his most secret thoughts hidden between the lines. They exchanged "good night" and "good morning" in late-night private messages, talked about children and childhood during the epidemic lockdown, and said "I'll wait for you" and "no ifs" before her heart surgery.
In the summer of 2021, they met. He is forty-five years old, wearing a crisply pressed white shirt, and is 1.63 Meters tall. She is twenty-seven years old, wearing a lotus-colored skirt, and is half a head taller than him. Her wrist is tied with a red rope braided by her mother, and on her finger is a scratched silver ring that she bought herself. She said, my husband is very tall, but he never reads my books; he said, my wife irons every shirt, but she never opens my stories.
From then on, they met every week in the coffee shop on the fourth floor of the shopping mall, chatting about loquat trees, children, and the gaps in their marriages that could not be touched even if they turned around. Until the first rainy afternoon in July, in the hotel room, she took off the red rope and put it into the left breast pocket of his shirt.
"We don't want to meet each other anymore." She said, "It's enough after confirmation."
She's gone. He tied the red string around his left wrist and held the silver pendant against his pulse. Late at night, he sent two words: "Delivered." She replied with one word: "Okay."
An encounter that begins and ends with words. Separated by marriage, age and a height difference of 16 centimeters, the two people have lived in each other's hearts for a lifetime. Nothing happened, but everything happened.
