Bookstore After the Rain: Choice 241

While organizing a batch of donated books at a bookstore after the rain, Yu Ning discovers private letters tucked inside; book collection consultant Mo Yan believes the background story would add value, but she worries this exceeds the donor's original intent. She first halts putting them on the shelves and contacts the donor to confirm how to proceed, ultimately selling only the books that received explicit consent and returning the letters intact. Though missing out on a past tale that could have been publicized, the bookstore preserves the trust essential when receiving private secondhand items.
