Cheng Yan is the youngest deputy chief physician of the Cardiac Surgery Department of the city hospital. He is calm and self-possessed, and always has the faint smell of menthol cigarettes on his body. That is his only way to indulge himself.
Zhou Yiyang is the owner of the "Wildfire" coffee shop on the corner. He is enthusiastic and bright, like a fire that will never go out, but he suffers from insomnia alone in the deepest night.
They met on a rainy night. Cheng Yan hid in Zhou Yiyang's coffee shop to take shelter from the rain, and Zhou Yiyang handed him a latte with whiskey.
——"Doctors shouldn't drink." Cheng Yan said lightly.
——"It's so cold." Zhou Yiyang smiled and lit a cigarette. The smell of mint was particularly clear in the rainy night.
They fell in love, like the collision of ice and fire, like the bitterness and sweetness of menthol cigarettes mixed with coffee.
But Cheng Yan had family shackles that he couldn't get rid of, and Zhou Yiyang had an old wound in his heart that couldn't be burned away.
They redeem each other and torture each other.
In the end, Cheng Yan saved countless people on the operating table, but could not save Zhou Yiyang.
Zhou Yiyang's depression broke out completely one winter night. He smoked his last menthol cigarette and jumped from a tall building.
Cheng Yan has never touched menthol cigarettes again, but he always has an unopened box of cigarettes and a yellowed coffee shop receipt hidden in his white coat pocket.
