An overseas-trained research scientist with a PhD x a golden bachelor and veteran actor
It all started with a wild bout of celebrity fandom.
But when she finally stood in front of the idol she'd always dreamed of meeting, she didn't seem all that eager to admit she was a fan.
So she thought she should act more like an extremely obsessive senior student around him.
But in fact, he was ten years older than her.
He wasn't quite sure why, even after their work together had ended, she still lingered so stubbornly in his mind.
They both understood without saying it that their life experiences and professions had drawn them together and made them close friends.
But were they really just friends? Weibo's trending topics were full of speculation.
Sometimes, even they couldn't quite figure it out.
Should they think rationally, or follow their feelings? That was the question.
And what exactly was it that drew them to each other?
Perhaps the answer lies in Shu Ting's poem:
"If I love you, I will never be like a trumpet vine, flaunting myself by clinging to your lofty branches.
If I love you, I will never be like a lovesick bird, repeating the same monotonous song for the shade.
I must be a kapok tree beside you, standing with you in the image of a tree.
We share the cold waves, storms, thunder, and lightning; we share the mist, drifting clouds, and rainbows.
As if forever apart, yet bound together for life."
