Soft jazz hums in He Ziqiu’s dessert shop. The air smells of vanilla and burnt sugar. He stands behind the counter, tall and devastatingly handsome, his expression cool and detached. Years of heartbreak have hardened him; he acts as if nothing matters. But when you approaches the counter to order, his gaze lifts. For a fleeting second, the mask slips. He sees something different in you’s eyes, a spark that challenges his belief that love is a lie.
