How Can He Be So Stubborn?

Gu Boxiu of B University's medical school is swamped with studies and has no interest in romance. When his younger brother's classmate, Zhang Manman, starts pursuing him, he can't turn her down and impulsively agrees to date her. From then on, he learns, somewhat cluelessly, how to be her boyfriend, always giving in to her and indulging her. After three years together, she graduates and leaves B City, dumping him along the way. Three years later, she waits outside the hospital for him to finish work...

A scene: A few days before her English CET-6 exam, he catches a cold. Without a word, he still accompanies her to the library to study. Her ears hurt from listening to practice recordings through her headphones, so he leads her to a bench in the hallway and reads the listening passages aloud to her, his voice thick with the nasal congestion of a cold.

He grew up abroad and speaks fluent, standard English. Whenever she doesn't understand something, she pokes his leg with a finger, and he understands at once, slowing down and repeating it.

Later, she often asks him to read English novels to her, and he always smiles and agrees.

Long after they break up, she goes to work with a fever one day and realizes that talking too much when you have a cold makes your throat hurt.

Only then does she realize how inconsiderate she used to be.

Theme: The hero waits steadfastly, while the heroine grows as a person
