Lin Xiaoman has run "Sweet Return" dessert shop in the old alley for three years. Every night, she keeps an orange lamp on and a bowl of hot red bean soup—her promise with Chen Mo: "If the lamp's on, I'm waiting for you." Until Zhou Ming, in an old denim jacket, walks in. The scar on his finger matches exactly where Chen Mo burned himself protecting her from boiling water years ago. Zhou Ming hands over Chen Mo's notebook, which holds a leukemia diagnosis from three years ago: Chen Mo hid his illness to avoid burdening her, cutting all contact and only asking Zhou Ming to check the lamp regularly. That unextinguished lamp wasn't waiting for a lost love—it was someone's final act of courage, turning "I love you" into nightly hot dessert, and "goodbye" into "I'm still here with you."
