The Late Affection I Don’t Want

share time: 2025-11-23 06:03:37

Su Xiaoman, a coffee shop owner who just survived selling drip coffee in the snow, is suddenly visited by her ex-boyfriend Lu Jingshen—who once left her for his career—with a custom diamond ring and a wall of old photos. “I finally have what it takes to give you a future,” he says. But Su has long grown used to the warm ginger tea from Lin Zhao, the bookstore owner next door, and the way he warms her frostbitten hands while she revises the menu late at night. Those days Lu missed are now filled with tiny, precious warmth. When Lu blocks the café door begging for forgiveness, Su smiles and places the silver necklace he gave her years ago into his palm: “Late affection is like cold coffee—no matter how you reheat it, it’s never the same.”
