In Chen Shen's "Introduction to Art" class, Lin Tingwan was deeply remembered by him because of a question about "borderline weirdness". He is the youngest professor in the college. He is rigorous, restrained and the embodiment of rules. And she was his most talented student.
On that rainy day, she stepped into his apartment and crossed the line in the name of academics. Every crack in his rational dam became the only light in her darkness.
However, her graduation work "Gaze" exposed this hidden emotion to the sun. Facing the department's investigation and the teacher's ethics trial, Chen Shen made a choice - he denied them all with his own hands and pushed her away from his world in the most honorable way.
"Lin Tingwan, don't waste your energy on unrealistic fantasies."
In one sentence, her love was sentenced to death.
Five years later, Paris, New York, and the international painting world.
The girl who needed to look up to him has transformed into the radiant artist Lin Wei.
On the opening night of her solo exhibition "Invisible Gravity", he came as promised. In the center of the exhibition hall, the painting titled "Foundation Stone" quietly displays the poetry collection they annotated together.
"Professor Chen," she looked back with calm eyes, "I once thought that only by denying you could I gain freedom."
He looked at her and finally said what he had been waiting for five years:
"Now, you are no longer my student. Ms. Lin Wei, am I qualified to pursue you again as a man?"
From the ninth time my heart beat out of control for him, to crossing all mountains and seas and standing on an equal footing with him.
Intention: Break the gaze, realize self-fulfillment, and equal concept of love
