Bookstore After the Rain · Reunion 133

Original title: 雨后的书店·重逢 133

Synopsis only

While taking inventory of damp old books after a rainstorm, Tang Fei spots her own annotations in a city atlas, and the person arriving to claim it is Shen Yue, with whom she has long been out of touch. The atlas records streets and alleys they once walked together that have since been renamed. Along the old route, the two trace the cause of the bookstore's water leak and fill in the last blank section of the map; their lost tacit understanding does not return immediately, but clues emerge to rediscover one another.
