On a rainy night at the age of 19, Lin Xi, a freshman in the Chinese Department, "lost" into a convenience store and bumped into Su Wan, an architect who was soaked all over. She was frowning at the drawings, and her fingertips were shaking so much that she couldn't hold her coffee steady. A crumpled orange candy opened the unspoken connection between the two.
The convenience store became a secret base: she wrote "Oden boiled radish like clouds" and she replied "The third draft of the drawing has been revised"; she made ginger soup and hid it in the "tree" of post-it notes, which she kept in a drawer and rubbed again and again. The "23-year-old rain" in the old headphones allowed Lin Xi to glimpse Su Wan's hidden softness; the umbrella held by the typhoon allowed Su Wan to touch the girl's hot courage.
The age difference was an unresolved rain, but Lin Xi tilted the umbrella toward her and said, "It would be more fun to eat instant noodles with you." Su Wan was silent in the circle of friends late at night, but rushed to the bus stop where she was huddled in the heavy rain. When the warm light of New Year's Eve spread over the table, the two hands finally interlocked quietly in the coat pockets - it turned out that there was some heartbeat, not afraid of being late, not afraid of heavy rain.
Purpose: Gentle rush to the age gap, healing love in the workplace and campus
