Synopsis
Set in 1997 during the period when Hong Kong returned to the motherland, this narrative follows a nineteen-year-old waiter who entered the workforce early. While employed at a restaurant, he meets a young man studying at a nearby university. This work reads like a traditional slice-of-life BL romance, utilizing the trope of a chance encounter between people from different educational backgrounds. It is best suited for those who enjoy short, atmospheric stories centered on nostalgia and quiet beginnings. Readers who desire intricate plotting or long-form character development should skip this title. The pacing is exceptionally fast due to the limited length, and its standout quality is the grounded, historical setting that frames the meeting.

Editorial Review
This completed BL story is essentially a short vignette rather than a full-length novel. Its main strength is the use of a specific historical milestone to create a sense of place and time, providing a nostalgic atmosphere. However, the brevity of the work is its most glaring weakness. With only seven chapters, there is insufficient space to develop the protagonists or explore the complexities of their bond. The relationship is introduced but never truly tested, leaving the reader with a sketch of a romance rather than a fully realized arc. While the prose is functional, the lack of narrative depth prevents it from making a lasting impact. It is a light read that captures a moment but fails to build a compelling story.
