This novel is the sequel to "Borrowed Time", the final chapter of Xu Wen and Fang Zhiyuan's unfinished love story with an open ending! Introduction to the work "Borrowing Light"
Xu Wen is a skilled piano tuner but lives a lonely life. Her world consists of precise music and a well-organized rhythm of solitary life, like a piano that is carefully calibrated but rarely played.
Fang Zhiyuan, a structural engineer who travels to construction sites all year round, was forced to press the pause button on his free and uninhibited life due to an emergency business trip and a sudden change at home.
One stormy night, Fang Zhiyuan hurriedly entrusted his seven-year-old cousin Xiaozhe, who had nowhere to go, to Xu Wen, whom he had only met once, like "extra luggage." The originally planned three days of care were extended indefinitely because Fang Zhiyuan encountered a construction dispute and an accident in another place.
As a result, three originally parallel life trajectories were forced to intersect. Xu Wen's regular life was disrupted by his children's cries, homework and "why"; Fang Zhiyuan dragged his injured arm into this temporary shelter, bringing new troubles and uncontrollability; while Xiao Zhe, who was sensitive and precocious, carefully observed the subtle aura between the two strange adults.
From the "flying symbiosis" to the "borrowed time" used to each other, in the daily life full of fireworks and frequent accidents, alienation and warmth collide, and responsibility and heartbeat are intertwined. Xu Wen's rigorous world is injected with messy but vivid notes; Fang Zhiyuan's wandering life seems to have found a temporary anchor; Xiao Zhe's silent eyes gradually gain the brilliance of a child.
However, all "borrowing" has a hidden deadline for return.
