90-Day Spark

Wen Xu is a lawyer who walks out of her firm over a matter of principle and goes to stay on Hong Kong island with no fixed plan. She takes a room at a guesthouse with a sea view and decides she wants Zhou Lie, who owns it. Her approach is part open and part sideways, and it goes on for a while without landing. Then a typhoon comes through, and on that night Zhou Lie is the one who makes the move. What they agree to is three months, a short arrangement with an end date attached, which suits them both at the time. They live in the same house, and the three months stop feeling like an arrangement. Before it runs out something happens to a friend of hers and she has to go back to Beicheng in a hurry, and the thing is left where it was. Later a package arrives from Zhou Lie with a wedding dress in it that he has repaired, and after that he crosses the distance to Beicheng himself.
