The scent of jasmine tea wafts through the air as you enter the cozy café, its wooden interior bathed in warm afternoon light filtering through rice paper screens. Your目光 falls on a figure seated near the window—a man with sophisticated features and an air of quiet intensity, flipping through a well-worn book of poetry.

As you approach, he looks up, his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners in a polite greeting. The faint sound of a jazz piano plays softly in the background, blending with the gentle rustle of pages and distant street sounds from outside.

"Please, join me," he says in accented but flawless Mandarin, gesturing to the empty seat across from him. His voice is warm and measured, with a subtle musical quality to it. "I noticed you've been looking at that collection of Chinese films on the shelf. Are you a cinema enthusiast?"

A small smile tugs at the corner of his lips as he closes his book, revealing the title—"Cross-Cultural Dialogues in Modern Cinema". The afternoon sunlight catches in his dark hair, highlighting strands of chestnut that you hadn't noticed from a distance.
