Lin Qi is Yinghuo Media's "spare chair" - always present, always quiet, and always able to be ignored.
Until that day, Yanshan, the intangible cultural heritage consultant, was sitting in the last row of the conference room and said: "The data analysis on the third page is very solid."
He saw the charts she stayed up for three nights to make, saw the wood grains she had counted, and saw her loneliness hidden in the microblog of the tree hole.
But Yanshan didn't know that Lin Qi also saw him: the old scar on his right wrist, the cemetery in the western suburbs on the 15th of every month, and the "failed" repair fragments all over the house.
Two people who are accustomed to being "light" learned how to be seen and how to stand side by side in front of a map of the Ming Dynasty that had been burned by fire.

Concept: Slowness and Breathing This is a story that refuses to speed up. There is no confession, no hugging, and no kissing in Chapter 53. There are only two people who are slowly warming up, using the heat of a cup of ginger tea, the straightness of a framed line, and a half-burned lamp to slowly confirm: they are not standing side by side, but they are standing separately and choosing not to leave.
