Night's Dopamine

share time: 2026-02-26 06:16:26

Lin Xiaoman, a workplace insomniac, slips into the 24-hour convenience store at the alley’s end every night for her fixed double-ice lemon tea. Chen Mo, the clerk, always remembers her habits—slipping an extra fruit candy when she’s late from overtime, handing a warm towel silently when she breaks down in tears. Until one night the store is suddenly closed, and a note from Chen Mo is left on the glass: “I’ve saved enough of your dopamine. Tomorrow night, I’ll wait for you under the alley’s streetlamp.” It turns out this quiet boy has been secretly jotting down her emotional fragments every night, just to piece together the courage to heal her. When the insomniac finally meets her “Night’s Dopamine,” their story is just beginning.
