The Moment Dawn Wears Starlight

share time: 2025-12-01 06:02:59

Emergency doctor Su Xiao grapples with life and death every night, and her only solace is the hot congee from the alley stall with a starry lantern at dawn—stall owner Lin Chuan always hands her the warm porridge with a smile, as if catching her shattered strength. Until she rescues a fallen astronomy enthusiast and finds his phone lock screen is a photo of her volunteering at the planetarium three years ago. Then Lin Chuan’s stall suddenly empties, leaving only the starry lantern swaying in the wind. It turns out Lin Chuan is the enthusiast’s twin brother and the mute boy Su Xiao saved a decade ago. He spent three years piecing together the starry lanterns, just to boil his unsaid “I’ve always been here” into the congee and give it back to her at dawn.
