Last Loop

Time restorer Lin Shen received an ordinary task: repairing a slight time wear at S City Square Station on April 15, 2019, which is expected to take 15 minutes. After the mission was completed, he was supposed to return to 2031 and go to his new post in Munich. But he didn't. That day, he saw a girl wearing a blue hair tie and canvas shoes walking out of the subway gate. In seven hundred cycles, he watched her repeat the same morning countless times, but he never had the courage to step forward. Until the 802nd time, he put down his anchor and walked into her world empty-handed. This is a story about waiting. After eight hundred cycles, he memorized every tiny habit of hers - cooking Oden radish thoroughly, carrying a transparent umbrella without opening it when it rains, and always keeping a copy of "Night Sailing" in his backpack. He saw her loneliness and the pain she would encounter in her life. When he finally said "My name is Lin Shen", the timeline was no longer reset. He chose to stay in 2019 and accompany her through the loss of the winter solstice and the changes of the four seasons as an ordinary person. Until she asked him: "Will you wait for me?" The novel interweaves science fiction settings and human fireworks with delicate strokes. Under the cold rules of the "Engam Structure", it writes a gentle paradox about memory, choice and love: the timeline can be repaired, but the emotions remain but cannot be decoupled; you think you are waiting for her, but in fact you have finally found a reason to dock.
