Lin Zhixia has just turned eighteen. She is tough-tongued, sensitive, and always likes to hide things. During the summer after graduating from high school, while preparing to enter college, she forced herself to memorize CET-4 vocabulary, but she kept procrastinating, staying up late, and messing up her plan.
One time while browsing short videos late at night, she made a casual comment under Zhou Yanbai's Level 4 vocabulary video, but this English blogger who had just graduated from college saw through her pretentiousness.
At first, he just supervised her to memorize words, correct wrong words, and go to bed on time. She was disobedient, often arrogant, perfunctory, and late. She kept saying "I can do it myself", but was repeatedly exposed by him calmly.
Zhou Yanbai originally thought that he just grabbed a little girl who was about to be overwhelmed by anxiety. Later, he discovered that Lin Zhixia was not trying hard, but was just too afraid of being seen in his embarrassment.
This is an acquaintance that started with level 4 vocabulary, and it is also a story of two adults who tried and got closer to learning to confess.
She thought he was just supervising her to memorize words.
But in every attempt she made, he saw where she really needed to be caught.
Purpose: The work mainly expresses boundaries, trust and growth in intimate relationships. The female protagonist goes from being used to being strong and avoiding communication to gradually learning to confess her emotions and accept help; the male protagonist accompanies her to establish order in a restrained and stable manner. The story emphasizes that true love is not about control and possession, but about seeing each other's vulnerability, catching each other's loss of control, and working together to repair the relationship on the premise of respecting each other's wishes.
