Xu Linen first met Chen Yuke at a junior high school sports meeting. She is a quiet, sensitive girl who is a top student and is accustomed to bowing her head. He is a flamboyant and handsome sports committee member in the senior class who is excellent in science. The young man's casual remark, "You're already doing well," became the most secret heartbeat in her youth.
In high school, she went to Sydney and later was admitted to Oxford. Destiny took a turn, and she reunited with Chen Yuke in the rain in a foreign country. She was a freshman and he was a junior. The senior who was once out of reach came into her life, giving her confidence and security, and also made her believe for the first time that she was worthy of being firmly chosen. But in the year of graduation, they stood at a crossroads in life: he wanted to stay in the UK for her, but she was afraid of becoming a burden to him. He thought she had never put herself into the future, and she thought rejection was protection. On the night of their twenty-first birthday, they separated during a quarrel.
Eight years later, Lin En Xu has become the youngest assistant professor of biology in the United States, and Yuke Chen has also become the chief scientist of an AI startup company. He approaches her again in the name of cooperation.
This time, she no longer let love prove her worth; and he finally understood that love is not about possessing, sacrificing, or deciding her life for her, but respecting her choices and accompanying her to become her true self.
Purpose: True love is not about possessing, sacrificing, or deciding life for the other person, but about learning to respect each other's boundaries after growing up, and learning to believe that you are worthy of being loved.
