Akira Imai, 36 years old, owner of Lin Mo Tang Bookstore on Secondhand Bookstore Street.
Yukimura Soryu, 23 years old, is a student in the Faculty of Literature at Tokyo Imperial University.
The two met in a doujinshi magazine and a letter written on a snowy night.
"Brother Huang, there is absolutely no place to live in Tokyo now, and I plan to go to the countryside to recuperate. After I publish a single book, you have to leave a good place for me, preferably the one in front of the store, haha!"
"Uh... Eh... Um, the second floor of my shop is empty, do you want to live here...? I'm letting you live here for free! I want to read your manuscript as soon as possible, and it will be used as payment for the rent. After all, "Night Lantern" is doing very well now, and the club cannot live without you. Your friends are all here in Tokyo. Going to the countryside alone will inevitably lead to a lot of discomfort. And..."
"Wait a minute, Brother Huang, do you want to live with me?"

I really wanted to read a story like this, so I started writing it myself.
I tried to restore the story in my mind, and you readers will also try to have a look. I'll try my best to round out any logical inconsistencies, and treat any discrepancies with reality as fiction. The author, myself, is a purebred and has never been to China, so I'll just watch it for fun.
The article is in Chinese. I write it as an essay. It's my problem if I write poorly. Xuecun's level is first-rate. After all, it's just a setting. I hope you'll be merciful (fist clasping)
Intention: Seeing people's hearts through words, I not only love the world you write but also love you
