He doesn't wear a hoodie, his feet don't wear sneakers. His "Combo" is a dark-colored shirt neatly packed, his feet wearing shiny western shoes. In the morning, while the world is busy with salt coffee and pearl milk tea, he leisurely prepares a pot of tea, sits and watches the smoke spread and discusses his worldview and worldview.
At the class reunion, a group of friends wearing ripped jeans, hair glued up, invited him to "party" at a bar for him to "chill", he shook his head and said: "That place sounds very headache, go to a coffee shop to listen to Trinh music for elegance". His close friend sighed: "Let's try our best for a while? ". He remained steadfast in his ideal: Wherever the sound is above 80 decibels, he is willing to go.
Coming to his house, people can easily mistake this for a branch of the Ornamental Creatures Association. Stone lotus, sapphire, bonsai surround the walkway, along with a dragon fish tank that he cherishes even more than his ex-lover.
Once, a Z-generation colleague stopped by to borrow materials, just stepped into the door and quickly looked like an old man attentively leaning on a chair, watching a documentary about the animal world and listening to instrumental classical music.
And the time he went to see a genuine "Top Top" girl, when she asked: "Do you often go backpacking?" He shook his head: "I only often go for a walk in the park at 5 am, the atmosphere is peaceful, the soul is relaxed".
She excitedly told about the newly opened "virtual living" cafe, he responded with a presentation about the uses of goji berries, red apples and acupressure to cure insomnia. At the end of the date, she sent a short message: "You are very good, but being by my side, I thought I was going out with my uncle"...
On the year-end class reunion night, while his friends were sipping glasses and complaining about credit debts after luxurious trekking trips or the worry of deadlines surrounding him, he just smiled, gently turning his hot tea glass. It turned out that, while the world was engrossed in "virtual living" to prove his youthfulness, he chose "old age" to accumulate stability.
The capital accumulated from his disciplined lifestyle and profound knowledge for so long has been poured into a passionate project that is his own tea shop. That is where he turns his "mature" hobby into a real space, where customers can slowly enjoy tea, immerse themselves in Trinh music and be a cultural rendezvous to launch books or sing old love songs together. At the age of thirty, while others are still diligently searching for their ego in the crowd, he personally creates a quiet space of his own right in the heart of the noisy city.
