This article is inspired by the million-selling Lexus short film "The Untold Story" shot by teachers Chen Shu and Wang Jingchun in 2019.
Late at night in Shanghai, two study lights are always on in the homes of foreign lawyer Chen Che and writer Wang Jing. They once stayed together in a rented house to keep each other warm, but now that their careers are at the top, they have become "the most familiar strangers" - even a greeting before going to bed is a luxury, and he has almost forgotten her business trip.
An attempted intimacy is interrupted by work, and an unannounced book launch becomes the trigger. When Chen Che learned from her colleagues that her husband's books were selling like hotcakes, her backlog of grievances made her fly back to Shanghai overnight, invite him back to the tavern where they met, and ask him coldly: "Should we continue living like this?"
The wine glasses were touched lightly, and the past came flooding back. Wang Jing tremblingly handed over the warm new book. What kind of confession is hidden on the title page? Can this couple, whose relationship has been diluted by busyness, find the lost warmth in the night?
