Midsummer Confession

share time: 2025-12-20 00:48:12

Lin Xiaoman, the night clerk at a midsummer street-corner convenience store, always saves the last taro ball for Chen Mo, an intern doctor next door—he fixes her AC, shields her from drunks, their unspoken bond like sweet seeds in iced watermelon, hiding unconfessed love. Until Xiaoman finds an old surgical record in Chen Mo’s bag: the surgeon who operated on her brother three years ago is Chen Mo’s father. She thinks his kindness was a scheme and avoids him for four days. Then Chen Mo blocks her at the store, clutching emergency records: "My dad was late saving a pregnant woman. I searched three months for the truth—just to say my love has nothing to do with the past!" In the thunderstorm, Xiaoman stares at his wet lab coat, remembering his promise to share the first autumn milk tea. But those unsaid "I like you too"—will they ever reach him?
