Relic organizer Shen Zhiyao discovered a diary that should not have been left behind during an ordinary commission.
The owner of the diary is Chen Xu, who died of lung cancer three months ago at the age of twenty-three.
The diary is filled with her last journey:
A small town called Qingyan, a black cat with a broken tail, a green mailbox that is only opened at four o'clock every afternoon, and a letter sent to "myself in ten years."
Shen Zhiyao could have burned the diary, just like Chen Xu requested in his last words.
But she didn't.
Because she is waiting too. Waiting for something I don't know if it will come.
When Chen Nian called and said that the letter sent by his sister before her death was returned by Qingyan Post Office, Shen Zhiyao held the ticket from a year ago and made a decision -
She is going to Qingyan.
Go get that returned letter, go find that person who waits for the mailbox at four o'clock every day, go ask that person who is no longer here: What was the last thing you were waiting for?
But what she didn't know was that someone had been waiting for her for a whole year on the cliff side of Qingyan.
——
"I finally lost you, before we met."
This is a story about waiting.
Waiting for a letter, waiting for a person, waiting for a tomorrow that I don't know whether it will come.
